People Who Don't Drink Alcohol Are More Likely To Die Young
A newly released study shows that regular drinkers are less likely to die prematurely than people who have never indulged in alcohol. You read that right: Time reports that abstaining from alcohol altogether can lead to a shorter life than consistent, moderate drinking.
Surprised? The tightly controlled study, which looked at individuals
between ages 55 and 65, spanned a 20-year period and accounted for
variables ranging from socioeconomic status to level of physical
activity. Led by psychologist Charles Holahan of the University of Texas
at Austin, it found that mortality rates were highest for those who had
never had a sip, lower for heavy drinkers, and lowest for moderate
drinkers who enjoyed one to three drinks per day.
Of the 1,824 study participants, only 41 percent of the moderate
drinkers died prematurely compared to a whopping 69 percent of the
nondrinkers. Meanwhile, the heavy drinkers fared better than those who
abstained, with a 60 percent mortality rate. Despite the increased risks
for cirrhosis and several types of cancer, not to mention dependency,
accidents, and poor judgment associated with heavy drinking, those who
imbibe are less likely to die than people who stay dry.
A possible explanation for this is that alcohol can be a great social
lubricant, and strong social networks are essential for maintaining
mental and physical health. Nondrinkers have been shown to demonstrate
greater signs of depression than their carousing counterparts, and in
addition to the potential heart health and circulation benefits of
moderate drinking (especially red wine), it also increases sociability.
While it’s always important to drink responsibly, this is one study that warrants raising a glass.
Uruguay's Senate legalises marijuana
Uruguay has become the first nation to legalise the growing, sale and smoking of marijuana after the country's Senate gave final approval to the legislation.
After a long debate on Tuesday, 16 of 29 senators voted in favour of the law championed by President Jose Mujica.
The legislation is aimed at wresting the business from criminals in the small South American nation.
Backers of the law, some smoking joints, gathered near Congress holding green balloons, Jamaican flags in homage to singer-songwriter Bob Marley and a sign saying: "Cultivating freedom, Uruguay grows."
Cannabis consumers will be able to buy a maximum of 40 grams each month from licensed pharmacies as long as they are Uruguayan residents over the age of 18 and registered on a government database that will monitor their monthly purchases.
When the law is implemented in mid-April, Uruguayans will be able to grow six marijuana plants in their homes a year, or as much as 480 grams, and form smoking clubs of 15 to 45 members that can grow up to 99 plants per year.
Registered drug users should be able to start buying marijuana over the counter from licensed pharmacies in April.

“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”

GO Vegetarian ! by Peta
KUALA LUMPUR March 7 — Shoppers in the Bukit Bintang area here were left gawking at the sight of four “mermaids” sprawled across a fishing net, their silver bodies glittering in the hot midday sun.
Decked in “fins” and slathered in silver body paint, the four members of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), an international animal rights organisation, held signs that read “Try to relate to who’s on your plate — go vegetarian” to encourage the public to not eat fish.
Cars passing through the busy intersection between Jalan Sultan Ismail and Bukit Bintang slowed as drivers craned their necks to witness the unusual spectacle.
At the same time, other PETA members walked around the area distributing pro-vegetarian pamphlets to the crowd of onlookers.
The campaign manager, Claire Fryer, 32, stressed that fish feel pain as other animals do, and that it is the duty of the public to stop eating all animals and adopt a vegetarian lifestyle.
“People can look into the works of God’s teachings and what God actually asked was for us to care for animals and to respect all life. ‘Thou Shall Not Kill,’” Fryer told The Malaysian Insider today, quoting the Bible.
Any form of unnecessary use of animal cruelty, including slaughtering animals by the throat as done by Muslims, is unjustified and could be stopped through vegetarianism, she said.
Fryer added that those whose livelihood depends on the fishing industry should look for “other options to support themselves, without putting fish and animals through needless cruelty.”
Among the crowd of curious spectators was student Fara Bani.
While Fara described herself as a “semi-vegetarian”, she said this campaign was a wake-up call for her to take the plunge and swear off eating fish for good.
“Campaigns such as these help inform people about how eating animals contribute to their continued suffering,” Fara told The Malaysian Insider.
PETA is the world’s largest animal rights organisation, with more than three million members and supporters around the world.
Operating under the principles that animals are not to be eaten, worn, experimented upon or used for entertainment, PETA has held vegetarian events across the world.
PETA is most known for enlisting global celebrities to pose in the nude while promoting the group’s cause.
