Rob Banks — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 05:59:42 +0000

Well, there may be some very, very agitated Bills fans. In Orchard Park town parks, it is not illegal to drink a beer or have any alcohol while walking down the streets in town. But that may not be the case much longer, as the Town Board looks into putting some open container laws in [...]

Should Downtown Buffalo Bars Allow Underage Patrons?

Rob Banks — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 12:01:10 +0000

It’s been a debate for a long time now. People under the age of 21 should not be allowed on Chippewa. Usually, 18-20-year-olds were allowed in most bars, but they have been banned due to safety reasons and bar owners’ disapproval. What do you think? Should they let them down on Chippewa? As a temporary [...]

Rob Banks — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 12:49:02 +0000

There always seems to be lists of the top cities in America for one thing or another. The list of the top 25 hungover cities in the U.S. has come out…and Buffalo is on it. Shocking (said with sarcasm). What number do we rank at? Buffalo ranks in at #5 and I don’t think this [...]

Despite the tradition of Walt Disney's refusal to allow his beloved theme park to serve spirits, as Disney World's Fantasyland expands this fall, the Magic Kingdom's menu will also see an expansion: wine and beer will be available for adult patrons to drink.

How to Cure — or Prevent — a Hangover

Rob Banks — Mon, 17 Sep 2012 14:52:27 +0000

Well, the easiest way to prevent a hangover would be simply not to drink as much. But, I know one leads to two, two leads to three and three may lead to a way more drinks than you expected. If you feel like garbage the following morning maybe these are some hints for next time (or speed up that recovery at least!).

The Health Benefits of Red Wine [VIDEO]

Joe Chille — Fri, 17 Aug 2012 11:47:09 +0000

I am not a big wine drinker. I enjoy red wine with holiday meals — Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter — but not on a regular basis. But I have seen more and more information — you probably have too — about the benefits of drinking a glass of red wine daily. My question is this: If [...]

Shauna Wright — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 17:52:43 +0000

A new study published in the November issue of the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs may have found a potential link between older adults, financial woes, and alcohol and tobacco usage. Between 1992 and 2006, researchers intermittently surveyed 2,300 people over the age of 65. During that time, 16 percent reported growing financial [...]

Last Night On Glee

chuck.stevens — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 18:03:12 +0000

I was watching Glee last night and really enjoyed the plot twist they put on drinking alcohol at the High School level. Taking the approach they had to find out first hand. While I was surprised there was so much under age drinking shown, the reality is it does happen. Tik Tok by Ke$ha provided a [...]
