Texas - Jenna Bush's underage alcohol charges
TEXAS - Jenna Bush and her twin sister, Barbara, both 19-year-old college freshmen, were approached by police Tuesday night at a restaurant in Austin, Texas, after Jenna tried to buy alcohol with someone else's identification, Texas police said.
The episode comes less than a month after Jenna Bush, who attends the University of Texas, pleaded no contest to a charge of being a minor in possession of alcohol. In that incident, police stopped her during a check of underage drinking in a nightclub district in Austin, Texas.
Like any president's children, the twins are the object of fascination. On TheFirstTwins.com, readers can mull over snippets of news - such as the time Jenna Bush's strapless dress slipped during a dance with her father at an inaugural ball, or the time Barbara Bush lost her Secret Service detail en route to New York from New Haven when she and friends glided through an E-ZPass toll-booth line while the agents fumbled for change in the slow lane.

Excessive drinking can decrease the amount of testosterone in a man's body and cause impotence.

Is there a single question that can indicate unhealthy alcohol use? An interest among scientists and clinicians involves brief screening methods for problem drinking. One possibility is a question that asks about the frequency and amount of drinking. One question that seems to have high sensitivity and specificity is a question such as the following: "When was the last time you had more than X drinks in 1 day?" with X being 5 for men and 4 for women. An answer of "in the past three months" had a sensitivity of 85-82% and a specificity of 70-77% in men and women, respectively. There were similar findings when the question was asked face-to-face or by telephone.
|
In the 1800's, doctors routinely prescribed alcoholic drinks as a treatment for disease.

Can alcohol cause diabetes? We first have to recall that there are two types of diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 is a more severe type that appears to be an autoimmune disease where the body tries to reject the pancreas. Therefore the ability of the pancreas to produce insulin is greatly reduced or absent. Type 2 has more to do with obesity, inadequate exercise, or excessive sugar intake. There is some indication that heavy drinking can elevate fasting blood glucose levels, but whether alcohol causes this type 2 diabetes is still open to question. It is not likely that alcohol causes Type 1 diabetes.
