After surveying more than 1,000 men and women 30 and older, scientists found that people who drank an average of nearly two cups of tea--black, green or oolong--daily for 10 years had a 6.2% greater hipbone density than occasional drinkers. Scientists suspect that fluoride, flavonoids and phytoestrogens--a few of the 4,000 health-affecting chemical compounds found in tea--may help preserve bone-mineral density...
People don't function in the same way. If they're working or have social relationships, you start to see a deterioration in those relationships. They're difficult to be around. If they drank occasionally, drinking may become a problem where it wasn't before. They become irritable and easily angry with people in ways they weren't before.

...with someone you wouldn't have lunch with," went one pitch, "so bring condoms." To underscore the message, the university recently stationed the blown-out wreckage of a red Honda Prelude at the center of campus. It was once driven by Alisa Harden, killed at 16 when she drank and drove into a mail truck...
