Rum Swizzle

Color-changing nail polish isn’t the only product designed to detect drugs that are slipped into a person’s drink. An Israeli team working at Tel Aviv University has proposed a color-changing swizzle stick that you could use to stir your drink and would indicate if GHB, Rohypnol, or ketamine were present. While the swizzle stick and nail polish both show promise, the only product that is currently available is a coaster by a Tallahassee, Florida, company called Drink Safe Technologies.

Place this coaster under your drink and the test strips will turn from green to blue in the presence of GHB or pink to blue in the presence of ketamine. Not one to spill your drink? You can easily drip some liquid on the coaster with a finger or a straw. As Norris sees it, the coaster has several advantages over nail polish and swizzle…

I soon realize that I cannot hold on to everything in life, and I have to picture people and or events that are not meant to be in my life, need to leave and slowly…

will attempt to further support the claim made by Tim Cook that rum was more than a drink, but a “medicine” for Canadian soldiers during the Great War. However, he asserts that prohibition was viewed as “patriotic” for those back in Canada. The dichotomous perspectives of rum and its necessity during the war is prevalent in the pieces by Cook and Thompson, as well as the primary documents consisting of letters sent home from soldiers that address and make mention of rum. The paper will argue the…

Alcohol has been around for thousands of years, first discovered by Neolithic humans. In the late 1700s, most Americans drank alcoholic beverages and preferred these beverages to drinking water, which was often contaminated. Alcohol was never viewed as a serious problem in America until after the Revolution. In the early nineteenth century, physicians, ministers, and larger employers created the anti-alcohol (temperance) movement. This movement was the result of concern about the drunkenness of…
