Cops: Man in Breathalyzer Costume Fails Breathalyzer
By Ben Muessig - AOL News
(Nov. 4) -- It's said that you should never judge a man by his clothes. But when a man is dressed like a giant Breathalyzer, it's hard to do otherwise. Police in Lincoln, Neb., say that early Monday they pulled over a suspected drunken driver who was wearing a Halloween costume modeled after the blood alcohol tests often administered to suspected drunken drivers. According to JournalStar.com, Matthew Nieveen, 19, was hit with second-offense charges of driving under the influence and being a minor in possession of alcohol -- as well as violations for negligent driving and an open container -- ...
Cigarettes and Drinking: The Age-Old Campus Connection
By Rachel Leavitt - Politics DailyIt's easy to dismiss as just a phase the drinks and smokes you have while 19 and "having fun." But according to a University of Arizona associate anthropology professor, Dr. Mimi Nichter, the detrimental habits that develop throughout college are alarmingly capable of turning into lasting problems, especially when the habits reinforce each other.
