...care specialist. Dry eyes may be associated with an underlying medical condition like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, eczema, a viral infection or something called Sjogren's syndrome, says Dr. Esen Akpek, an ophthalmologist who runs the dry-eye clinic at Johns Hopkins' Wilmer Eye Institute. "You can also overdo it with eyedrops and actually wash out your own tears," Akpek says. Also, watch for products whose active ingredients end with the suffix -zoline. Those are vasoconstrictors designed to reduce redness and should not be used for more than a few days, since they can trigger a rebound effect, increasing redness...
...heart disease. In a study of 8,125 subjects, those who sipped up to 19 drinks a month were 35% less likely than nondrinkers to have the syndrome. Consuming more than 20 drinks a month--beer and wine only--led to a 66% smaller chance. But don't overdo it. In other research, metabolic syndrome was 60% more likely in heavy drinkers who downed at least four drinks a day than in one-a-day drinkers. --By Sora Song

This does not mean that partying college students should not get tipsy, or even drunk, just that they should not overdo it. With the proper attitude on campus, more Harvard undergraduates might enjoy alcohol socially without taking it to far—committing violent acts or requiring a trip to University Health Services...
When underage drinking is destigmatized and first years get a few words of wisdom during freshman week, they will be less likely to get dangerously sick. And without fear of discipline, students will be more likely to go to UHS when they do overdo it. While the current College policy is that students will not be punished solely for being drunk, students may fear discipline for drinking in a first-year dorm or another offense that is punishable by the administrative board—even if the punishment is a slap-on-the-wrist admonishment...
