		<description><![CDATA[Tania Houspian, PharmD 2011 - We know that the energy drink, Red Bull, has been around since 1987.  We don’t know, however, when the first individual had an epiphany and said to his friend, “Hey, this would be great mixed with alcohol!” Whoever he is, he probably regrets failing to patent his idea. At one point in time, it was the drink to order because it had everything most young (but, of course, over 21) drinkers would ask for. Alcohol to develop a buzz? Yes. Caffeine from an energy drink to make sure the buzz doesn’t make you sleepy? Yes. Flavored? Yes.  Flash-forward a decade or so at which point companies have caught on and have started manufacturing drinks called caffeinated alcoholic beverages (CAB’s) or alcoholic energy drinks (AED’s) that contain both caffeine and alcohol already combined for you (no bartender needed). We’ll be referring to them as CAB’s for the rest of the article for consistency’s sake. There were more than 25 different brands of CAB’s on the market a couple of years ago including popular brands like Sparks, Four Loko, Joose, and Max. Combining alcohol and energy drinks has always been controversial due to concerns over the cardiovascular effects of such a combo. Recently, the controversy has heated up due to multiple hospitalizations linked to consuming CAB’s.  As potential consumers of these drinks, you may be wondering why they are so bad for you and what the future holds for CAB’s.  Grab a drink and keep reading.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Georgina Lee, PharmD2011 - What do Pro Volleyball, Lance Armstrong, and Motor Sports have in common?  Besides making us feel like we should get off the couch more, all of them are sponsored by a revolutionary energy drink that promises “to produce more real energy.”  Real energy?  It turns out we can blame sleep deprivation for America’s craving for alternative energy.  Approximately 20-40% of adults report difficulty sleeping at some point each year due to a myriad of reasons (first date anxiety, work deadlines, World of Warcraft…you get the idea) (1).  It’s no surprise that more people are turning to a quick “natural” fix after a sleepless night to boost their energy level like Pac-man and his power pellets.  Free Radical System (FRS) claims to offer a natural, healthy form of energy.  Should we denounce milk and pour FRS into our cereal bowls instead? Besides questionable after taste, it might not be a bad idea to learn more about the active ingredient in FRS before doing so.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Miley Cyrus’ documented celebration of her entry into adulthood has transformed a shaman’s sacred herb into one of the hottest new drugs (and legal one at that) on the market.  Since the YouTube leak of Miley Cyrus smoking Salvia divinorum from a bong on her 18th birthday hit the internet, Google searches for “salvia” in the United States spiked 600% (even Saturday Night Live took a jab at Cyrus for her Salvia indulgence).  What is this wacky Mexican herb that has suddenly found its way to the main stream thanks to Cyrus’ accidental celebrity endorsement?  Is it really as safe is people make it out to be?  We dive into the ancient roots of the herb, its affects on the body and, most importantly, its potential health risks. ]]></description>

Is it a first and a last name? Are they having an identity crisis? Why in the world can’t we just pick one name and all call it that? The answers to the questions above: are no, no and we do.

		<description><![CDATA[Georgina Lee, PharmD 2011 - Does your mind wander when you’re trying to study or read the newspaper?  Do you tend to switch the subject often when you’re having a conversation?  Do people call you “hyper” or “energetic” when you go out?  If the answer is yes to any of those questions, we’d like to congratulate you on being just like the rest of us who exhibit normal behavioral tendencies (like constantly flipping between radio stations while driving).  Then how exactly is one diagnosed with ADD or ADHD (Attention Deficit Disorder or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)?  Currently, about 3-10% of children and 4% of adults worldwide have ADD/ADHD with a strong propensity for boys over girls (4 boys to every 1 girl).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Tania Houspian, PharmD 2011 - You’ve may have noticed that your grandmother takes an aspirin everyday as part of her arsenal of medications. You may wonder why she’s taking aspirin when she’s in no apparent pain.  When you asked grandma she replied with her sagely tone, “The doctor said its good for my heart.” You nodded, pretending to understand, and wrote the answer off as another one of grandma’s “senior moments.” Well, it turns out that this time grandma is right. Although her answer is a simplified version of the truth, it is the truth nonetheless. Before you start popping aspirin yourself, read on to find out who should take daily aspirin and how it works to help your heart.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Plans will be made to go out to a bar with friends and, as the first cocktail is being ordered, someone remembers that they’re on antibiotics for an infection they’d rather not talk about. The question is raised about whether or not it’s OK to drink alcohol with that particular medication.  At that point, everyone turns to the friend with some form of medical training and asks, “So can I drink or what?”  To avoid those awkward conversations, we’d like to take a moment and explain why sometimes it better to put the drinks aside when on certain medications. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You open your medicine cabinet and take out a bottle of Motrin wanting to take a couple of tablets to alleviate the muscle pain from a rough game of basketball last night (those 16 years olds didn’t look so tough at first).  You scan the bottle looking for how many you should take and notice that it expired June 2009. You open the bottle and see that the pills look fine. There is no molding… they don’t smell funny…so you figure it’s fine to take. Besides, you have a stellar conspiracy theory that expiration dates are an evil ploy by pharmaceutical companies to get you to buy medication more often. ]]></description>
