Why is there a liquor store on every street corner in low income neighborhoods?

Because people with money buy more expensive booze.

Uh, yeah. That's not correct.

% "Heavy Drinkers"

White Men: 17%
White Women: 5%
Black Men: 14%
Black Women: 4%.
Other Men: 16%
Other Women: 5%.

Bottom line? Women don't drink nearly as much as men, white men is the highest demographic, but barely. Race plays almost no role in determining "heavy drinkers".

Now, by $$:

Less than 20k
Men: 18%
Women: 5%

20-25k
Men: 16%
Women: 5%

25-35k
Men: 16%
Women: 4%

35k-50k
Men: 17%
Women: 5%

50k +
Men: 19%
Women: 7%

Bottom line: Income doesn't matter much either (though there is about a 2% increase for wealthy individuals).

When exactly does consuming alcohol change from 'fun' to a medical condition?

Oh, I agree. Still, it's better data than he provided. Also, without statistics everything I read put men at about 3 times the alchoholic rate of women. So I'm not buying the idea that white middle class women are the biggest demographic.

When it causes you to develop a neurotransmitter deficiency.

It's all fun and games until someone loses a neurotransmitter.

Weiner? Seriously, who voted for a guy named Weiner. Another poor sex addict hunh? I think 98% of men have it. It's a pandemic. Not all of us take pictures of our junk and send it to our not-wives.

If someone wants to see my junk, they can come over here and look at it. I'm not sending it out over the internet.

Second DUI or first admission to rehab come after that point. Sometime before then. Anybody can get a DUI by being careless after partying. Refusing to learn from that indicates you really do have a problem

Your junk or a picture of it? If you figured out how to do the former, it could provide some ridiculous prank opportunities.

I wish the big scandals were about messed up laws or administration, rather than tabloid material like this.

Comrades,

As I reflect upon this event, the most upsetting thing to me is that I live in a society where posting pictures of your genitals on Twitter is considered a scandal.

According to this:

His wife's name is Huma.

Huma Weiner.

The 5 year old in me is delighted by this.

Huma is also a star in the Democratic party and Hilary's right hand woman. Now this hot dog seems to have gotten her pregnant.

Back when I was a kid, nobody would have even considered showing their genitals on Twitter, much less a Congressman.

Because twitter didn't exist 5 years ago?
