Thanks everyone who made suggestions for the gang’s Halloween costumes! :D We’ll be picking our favorites and Hawk will draw them up for Halloween.

CNN has an article about historical drinking stories - you kind of start reading with a “funny-haha” sense, and then you keep reading and realize it’s pretty interesting beyond just the humor of it. Go take a look!

Those are great, funny and interesting!
The elephant one actually happened pretty recently in the news to… the poor things killed themselves… what does that teach us… Alcholism is bad! especially when you are a giant elephant that can knock down electric poles…

I never knew this detail about Admiral Nelson’s death. Ewww, to be addicted on alcohol enough to drink from a decaying corpse…that was really disgusting!! XP

Apart from that though, this article was pretty intresting, especially the bit about the roads spilled with beer and liquor all over. The fact that most people got more bothered to drink the spilt beer, rather than move over for the rescuers to help drowning ones was both funny and sad at the same time. Thank you for sharing this article with us Ananth!
