If there’s one thing that nearly every nation in nearly every corner in the world has in common, it’s a deep rooted history in getting sh*tfaced. Be you Mexican, Russian, Chinese or Polish, chances are that you love to drink, your parents love to drink, and your kids sure as hell better love to drink too. Alcoholism? Hardly! This is cultural heritage.

And just as every country has its preferred method of administering God’s medicine (Russians have vodka, Japanese have sake, Mexicans have mezcal, Irish have all of the above) every country also has its preferred method of fending off the debilitating morning sickness that a healthy night of drinking ensures. As you might expect, they range from common sense remedies like strong coffee or tea, to… tripe soup.

Yup, the favored hangover remedy of the country of Romania is tripe (cow stomach) soup. It’s like Gatorade, just with less electrolytes and more animal intestines. Germans choose pickled herring to chase the morning blues, Mexicans favor shrimp and shellfish, Russians take a trip to the sauna while chewing some leafy birch branches to get the blood flowing, and Japanese chew on pickled plums to cure their morning sickness. So, basically, never go drinking in Romania…

Everyone knows someone who dated a crazy person, and many of us have actually done the dating. Every crazy displays a few warning signs; some are subtle and take specific situations to provoke, others are painted neon orange and come equipped with a very loud alarm; they can’t be missed, but some of us try to ignore them anyway.

This article is dedicated to a few of these oh-so-obvious insanities that I or my friends have encountered, or are currently putting up with. All of them involve too much drinking (probably not a surprise for many), so I guess that might also be a pretty good indicator of mental instability. Please enjoy my crazy people stories.

Remember the last time you drank a case of beer, half a bottle of tequila, four cups of jungle juice, and hated yourself for it in the morning? Yeah, well now you’re really going to regret it. A study by the American Heart Association (AHA) found that heavy drinkers have double the chances of developing heart disease, compared to moderate drinkers.

The culprit of the problem comes from an increase in something called a C-reactive protein (CRP), which marks inflamation in the body, increases of which can lead to cardiovascular problems. “Moderate drinkers,” or those who drink only two to five drinks at a time, one or two days a week, have half the CRP levels of those who drink in greater execess.

Spring Break is meant for partying, hooking up, and seeing random parts of the world that rely on partying and hooking up as part of it’s GDP. If that is not the recipe for a good time, I am not sure what is. But what if your parents are cheap and/or you are too irresponsible to maintain a job? If that is the case, then you are sitting at home reading this and not in Panama City waking up next to some girl who you should have left at the hotel bar the night before.

We at COED are a kind and generous people, and offer you a wide selection of photos and parties from across the world…that you missed. Please feel free to download them and print them up. Then tape them to the wall, turn up your music, get drunk, and pretend that you are at Spring Break.

…of course it sucks, but its better than nothing - so back off!

Society has demanded a more convenient way to smoke hookahs while traveling for years, and someone has finally stepped up to bat and delivered.

HoboHookah is a portable hookah designed specifically for travel and opening up conversation. Just pop the sucker on to a vodka bottle (or any bottle, for that matter) and voila - an ice breaker is born.

The social aspect of hookahs is vastly misunderstood to non-smokers, and this small wonder (30cm long) is a step in the right direction for hookah appreciation, in which America reduces its charms to low-lit metropolitan bars with dull ambient/world music. Read more
