Vodka

During the decade of the 1920s, American life experienced a tremendous change for women. The difference between men and women was becoming much narrower as the decade wore on due to the increase of popularity in the lifestyle of flappers. A flapper was a fashionable young female who focused on enjoying herself and her life and demonstrated a very strong and rebellious behavior. Men were always the ones to go to bars, clubs, sporting events, and smoking in general. They had all the freedom and…

Let's get one thing straight. We are not the Breakfast Club. We did not meet by chance, and we did not leave whether or not we would always be friends a mystery to those who were watching us. As far as I know, we will always be friends, and if we are not, I’ll always try to remember what made us, us. But in terms of the Breakfast Club, I believe we have helped each other quite a bit, and we all are extremely different. It was right before the summer, so the day was warm but also wet and…

Box jellyfish Nomenclature "Box jellyfish" and "sea wasp" are common names for the highly venomous Chironex fleckeri. However, these terms are ambiguous, as "sea wasp" and "marine stinger" are sometimes used to refer to other jellyfish. Anatomy "Cubomedusae", from Ernst Haeckel's Kunstformen der Natur, 1904 The medusa form of a box jellyfish has a squarish, box-like bell. From each of the four lower corners of this hangs a short pedalium or stalk which bears one or more long, slender, hollow…

to see was going to be a normal high school tailgate: everyone eating food, sitting around, throwing a football, and generally getting excited for the game. When I entered the man-made barrier of cars I was immediately met with 2 people chugging vodka. Another group was guzzling down beers as quickly as they could while loud music was playing in the background. I navigated through the stream of kids bumping their woozy bodies almost knocking them over. Each had some sort of alcoholic drink…

ALCOHOLISM: TRUTHS BEHIND IT ALL Alcohol is the number one leading cause of teen deaths in the United States. People who drink alcohol are at higher risks of getting in trouble with the law. Half of the people in jail and hospitals are in some way linked to alcohol use. In 1920 during the Prohibition Era people drank more than they had when there was no Prohibition. Alcohol has many after effects such as: damage to a person’s body, withdrawal, and both mental and physical effects. Family members…

No one came out of the gym without a new bruise to show what had happened there. By count I 'm pretty sure Alex got hit that most, soon followed by Brian, then me. I managed to get at least one bruise on my left arm, my right shoulder was turning blue, and my butt had a large red mark furiously forming. I 'd rather not talk about that one. Marcy and Damon came out basically unscathed, only getting one bruise from each other. They were the last two left , everyone else stood on the sidelines…

The EDM Drug Culture: Problem or Normality? When thinking about the dance music scene, what does one think of? Hard basslines and kicks, loud music, DJs, bright lights, big venues, and the big one, the drugs. Whether you go back twenty years or look forward into the future twenty years, MDMA and various other drugs will always be prevalent in this culture. However, ecstasy is only as dangerous as you make it. House, Acid Techno, and Deep House were all being created around the same time MDMA…

Analysis: Kendrick Lamar’s “Swimming Pools”, demonstrates the term intoxicated completely. In the song, Lamar gets so intoxicated by alcohol he begins to do things that he normally wouldn’t do. In his line, “The freedom is granted as soon as the damage of vodka arrived”, demonstrates this. He begins to lose control of all his inhibitions and gains the freedom to do many things without fear. He is losing control of his rational mind as he continues to drink, therefore he isn’t in control of…

Chapter 3: Rasputin’s Reputation and its Effect Much of the Rasputin’s negative public perception stemmed from his reputation of being sexually aggressive and indulgent in alcohol to the point of belligerence. This behavior was unacceptable for someone who claimed to be righteous and appointed by God, and also from someone who was so prominent in the royal court. This view of Rasputin was common between both the nobility and the common people of Russia. There was also an appeal made by the Duma…
