I reviewed two different pod casts. The first pod cast was called “ What is a hangover, really?”. It sarcastically explained what a hangover was and how you get one. Although they joked about drinking they made sure that you knew that it was only a joke and drinking is a serious act. I learned that visalgia is the medical term for a hang over. It is Norwegian and Greek based. It is also mentioned in the Bible. Pituitary glands block vasopressin while you are under the influence, causing your kidneys to send a message to your bladder to increase expulsion of water. Average is expelling four times more liquid than intake while drinking. Ending in dehydration causing a hang over. “Drink till you pee” They actually talked about GSU. I thought that was really cool, I was surprised. The bars in Statesboro had this contest, and they monitored the bars bathrooms and whoever peed last won! Hangovers are subjective, everyone has completely different side effects. Another interesting thing I learned is that glutamine is blocked as well. Glutamine is a natural stimulant and is overproduced when you sleep after drinking. Causing your body to be jittery and tired the day after.
The second pod cast was called “10 Terribly Bungled Crimes”. Ten crimes that have gone wrong. A guy went through the drive thru and his total was about seven dollars and he told the teller that he wasn’t going to pay more than a dollar seventy-five. The fast food tellers put his food back up and the guy pulls into a parking place. He runs up to the drive thru with a weapon and the tellers continue to tell him he isn’t getting the food so he grabs a handful of ketchup packages and runs off in the night. Another crime was that a man from Michigan goes into a convenience store completely drunk. No weapon and tells him to give him all the money. The clerks so no, and the man said if you don’t give me all your money I’m going to call the cops. So he calls the cops and they arrest him.
