Krisanapong Detraphiphat/Getty Images Researchers appear to have shown how the brain creates two different kinds of thirst. The process involves two types of brain cells, one that responds to a decline in fluid in our bodies, while the other monitors levels of salt and other minerals, a team reports […]

These days, there’s a mask for everything: exercising, going out, people with sensitive ears. If you have a scenario, there’s a mask for it. But one thing I’ve been struggling with is finding masks that are made to help out with the uptick in outdoor dining. Well, Redee came up with an ingenious one that allows you to drink through a straw while still staying covered. It’s a little hard to explain just how this mask works in writing, but here goes nothing. Underneath the “mask” itself, that is the pleated part that covers your nose and mouth, is a U-shaped […]

This marks the debut of an occasional series in which our Senior Drinks Columnist, Dr. David Wondrich (yes, he really is a Doctor; OK, no, not that kind) takes a concise look at the history and, to coin a word, mixologistics of a particular historic cocktail—or if not historic at least old and pleasant. Why? So you’ll have something different to mix yourself this cocktail hour, that’s why. As someone who has been publishing little histories of mixed drinks for a good 20 years, from time to time I attract random questions on the stories behind various cocktails or their evolution. […]
Called dawa and sold by street vendors, the concoctions have become so popular that they’ve driven up the price of lemons and limes. (Image credit: Eyder Peralta/ NPR) Source link
Pepsi is one of those American brands that turned over the reins to far left operatives who hate conservative Americans. Earlier this week Pepsi retweeted a video of Tucker Carlson “losing it” when he was corrected on his pronunciation. Advertisement – story continues below The liberal media blasted Tucker Carlson for mispronouncing “Kamala” Harris. TRENDING: MUST SEE: The Gateway Pundit’s Alicia Powe Asks President Trump a Meaningful Question at Friday’s Presser — President Responds in Classic Trump Style (Video) Of course, Joe Biden did the same thing and mispronounced her name this same week. CNN crucified Tucker Carlson for mispronuncing Kamala’s […]
It’s safe to say that my wine intake has increased during quarantine. I’m writing it off as an “educational experience,” as a quarantine skill I’ve picked up just like sourdough baking and bird watching. I’m no sommelier, but I finally feel like I could go out to dinner (whenever that’s a thing again), look at a wine list, and not feel like I’m reading a riddle. Thankfully, I discovered this wine service early on in quarantine that allows me to learn about different wines, and try plenty more. You won’t find Winc wines in the wild. Instead, the direct-to-consumer brand both […]
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday spread dangerous misinformation and claimed President Trump is urging people to “inject Lysol and drink bleach.” President Trump in April during a presser was referring to discussions of testing ultraviolet light on patients and possibly using the light inside the body. “And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it [the virus] out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside, or almost a cleaning, cause you see it gets in the lungs.” So Pelosi once again twisted President Trump’s words and took […]
I think proper drinkware is essential. You have to have a good rocks glass (clear preferably), a good highball, and wine glasses are a must. And even though we’re all cooped up, that doesn’t mean you should stop doing things the way they were meant to be done. A Moscow Mule, a popular beverage, deserves a copper mug. Not only will it make them colder, it will transport you to your favorite bar, where you’d laugh with friends, and will just make your drink that much more special. To help out, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite mugs, so you […]
