A researcher at a Russian university has developed a powdered form of alcohol that will soon make the consumption of vodka more convenient. From The Times of India:
Russian professor Evgeny Moskalev of Saint Petersburg Technological University has evolved a technique that allows turning alcohol into powder and packing it in pills. The new technique can solidify any kind of alcohol, including whisky, cognac, wine and beer. The new technique can solidify any kind of alcohol, including whisky, cognac, wine and beer.
“Dry” vodka can be wrapped in paper and carried around in a pocket or a bag. Vodka in form of a pill would come handy at parties when “consumers” would be able to calculate their exact required dosage.
Verily, we live in an age of medical wonders. (Source)
You gotta love the Russians. I swear they are only rivaled by the Irish when it comes to drinking. I mean really, think about this. This means the someone actually funded Evgeny Moskalev’s research putting alcohol in pill form. Not cancer research. Not AIDS research. But putting alcohol into pill form. And its not even like this is something being worked on as a side effect or by accident like penicillin. No, this is actually on purpose.
It brings up so many questions. First off, this can be bad. Vodka, whiskey, or beer pills men that breathalizer tests are worthless. It means that people can get drunk without really knowing how much they’ve had to drink. But fuck all the negatives…THIS IS AWESOME!!!!. So can we get them flavored? “Yes I’d like two cranberry & vodka pills please.” You could crush them up and do a line of Whiskey Sour. Bartenders could wear labcoats and be like real doctors writing prescriptions for liquor “Yes, take 3 Bacardi & Cokes, then 1 of the 100 Proof Captain Morgan and if you still aren’t feeling it take HALF of this 151 pill. Remember ONLY half of the 151 pill and that’s ONLY if you aren’t feeling drunk yet.” Oh the possibilities are endless. Again, we gotta love the Russians. Sure they brought us communism and the Cold War that threatened to annhiliate us all in a nuclear holocaust.
Kriss and Ryce are in the studio, after an emergency therapy session at Buffalo Wild Wings. So after some chicken and liquor, they’re in the studio and it’s a classic. On topic for this show: Harold Ford Jr.’s hairline, Perez Hilton vs Will.I.Am and the Governor of South Carolina goes to Argentina for some “good good”.

Kriss and Dylan are in the studio. Kriss thanks Dylan and the rest of his friends for being such good drinking team players. He then goes on a rant about how horse racing (and NASCAR) aren’t sports. Then there’s politics and Dick Cheney is back in the news. Also, Kriss is confused with how the media blows the Notre Dame “protests” out of proportion. And what’s up with ASU not giving the First Black President an honorary degree. WTF did he have to do? Free the slaves? To end the show, Kriss and Dylan listen to perhaps the worse freestyle rap EVER (yes…worse than the Soulja Boy one).

Dylan was recovering from his trip to Miami so we didn’t record yesterday and we’re not recording tomorrow. Never fear though…Ryce and Kriss recorded “bonus material” after the last show on Thursday. The topic: How they ended up recording at 1 am on a Thursday…drunk…

Kriss, Ryce and Dylan survived Beerfest 2009 in Raleigh. This show was suppose to be 2 hours long but due to the massive amounts of beer consumed, that didn’t happen. We had special guests during the show Shoge, NC Chris and Danny who were also there to enjoy Beerfest. We talk about Beerfest, Swine Flu, dumb people and whatever else came to our drunken minds.

The CDC has released safety tips for playing Beer Pong. I know it seems a little like an oxymoron, but it’s true. According to the CDC herpes cases were up in 2008 230% from 200 in people aged 17 – 21. I guess the old saying “Alcohol kills the germs” isn’t exactly true. Honestly I don’t know about kids today. I remember when you could play beer pong in a random place with tons of people and not have to worry about catching “The Herp.” Ryce says that this makes the case stronger for flip cup though as you get your own cup and not “The Herp.” I swear, it’s getting out of hand. We’re going to have to start making condoms for your beer cups. What is the world coming to?
Below are some “safety tips” from the CDC. I particularly like the one about “alcohol may impair your ability to play pong safely.” WTF is unsafe about beer pong? What you might be drunk and throw the ping pong ball in someone’s eye? Or maybe you get super drunk and decide to do a victory dance on top of the table, where it collapses under your weight and you break something. WTF is going on here….
CDC Safe Ponging Tips:
Discard cups after every use, reusing cups can compromise their protective integrity.
Flip cup is great because each player has their own cup.
Use the waterfall method.
Get tested regularly.
Stacking cups can spread the risk of transmission of HSV.
Alcohol may impair the ability to practice pong safely
The results are in and it looks like Kriss will be giving up liquor for 40 days. After Ryce shares her experience from being out drinking during Mardi Gras, maybe she should have been the one to give up liquor. Kriss goes on a little rant about Catholics after sharing an Ash Wednesday story. Then the discussion turns to politics and how horrible Bobby Jindal was in his response to President Obama’s Congressional Address. Kriss then plays a couple of audio clips: Octuplets mom vs her man, Xzibit talks about Puffy taking him to a gay club, Peter Griffin vs Christian Bale and then Killa Cam explains math.

Ryce is finally back from her cruise, but she has the bird flu (damn Asians). She’s a little pissed that Dylan skipped out on the show and forced her sick ass to come down because of chicken. She talks about her cruise and the secret to smuggling alcohol onto the boat. Kriss on the other hand is a little pissed at lazy strippers. Roland Burris and Governor Blagojevich continue to show why Illinois politics minus President Barack Obama is a complete clown show. A mutal friend sends out an email about a 40 year old loser who sends out a 7 minute speech with his two-tone resume. Then we finish with a new segment: Tough Love for Secrettwitter. We give asshole advice to the loser that post on Secrettwitter.

Another day, another in studio guest. Brandon comes through for a discussion about College life. But before then, Kriss opens up about his “problem” with alcohol in 2009. Then we cover news stories: Obama and closing Gitmo, torture, PETA being stupid, a child molester getting beat and Eddy Curry from the Knicks has a gay sexual harassment suit against him.

75 years ago, this country made a monumental change that to this day has afforded us all great freedoms.It was this day, 75 years ago that the United States repealed the nationwide prohibition by ratifying the 21st Amendment to the United States Constitution.Without this amendment, many of us would never have enjoyed the wonderful taste of alcohol because alas…it would still be illegal.So today, out of all days…make sure you respect history;Raise your glass and salute the brave souls that fought for our rights to get shit faced drunk, wake up in strange places and have alcohol induced amnesia.Damn I love America.
