Two or three beers may be a better painkiller than the stuff you get in the drugstore, according to a British study. Researchers (Greenwich University) say they discovered strong evidence that alcohol is an effective painkiller. They also concluded the more beer people drank, the less pain they felt. The study compared 18 different controlled experiments that involved 404 people. They found that a blood alcohol content of .08, about three or four regular drinks, can reduce pain by up to 25 percent. It also increased pain tolerance a little.

A man on an apparent beer run led Santa Rosa, California police on a chase Thursday morning after allegedly stealing a delivery truck filled with beer. While a delivery driver was inside of a store dropping off an order of beer, a customer informed him that a man wearing American flag shorts had just jumped into the beer truck and drove away with its alcohol content. Forty-six-year old Matt Lane Hermsmeyer, who stole the truck, didn’t know that a GPS tracking system was onboard. The truck was located within minutes by the Santa Rosa Police Department. The truck was eventually abandoned and multiple citizens reported seeing the suspect running from the scene, “wearing nothing but the red, white and blue shorts.” He was caught hiding in the bushes within an hour after the incident first started. (https://goo.gl/rLzx6W

The Howe Caverns is a cave in the middle of New York state. Howe Caverns is a popular tourist attraction, providing cave-goers with a sense of caving or spelunking, without needing the advanced equipment and training usually associated with such adventures. And on July 14, visitors won't even need clothing. Howe Caverns is hosting "Naked in a Cave," in honor of International Nude Day. Adults can tour the caves by lantern in the buff. The tour starts at 7:30PM and tickets cost $65 each. That will earn you a souvenir robe and an adult beverage. http://howecaverns.com/inter-nude-day/?goal=0_c01849cdd6-8b65ce846f-264008501

MOMENT OF DUH:By LearnWithoutLoans.com (Find Funding For College)
Police said that a furious fast foodie flipped out in a Staten Island Popeyes after she tried to order from a discount menu you can only find at Wendy's. The frenzy began when the woman entered a Popeyes and attempted to order from the “4 for $4” menu, which is a promotional deal at Wendy’s. Sources said that the woman ordered a meal anyway, sat down to eat, and then had words with the employees on the way out. Security footage shows her stick her tongue out, wave her middle fingers in the air, and swing a large poster board at the front door. For her finale, the woman picked up a chair and bashed in one the eatery’s plate glass windows. Cops are still on the lookout for this crazed woman. They describe her as being between 18 to 25 years old. She was wearing a multi-colored du-rag, a pink bandana, a pink hoodie, a black jacket, and blue jeans.(https://goo.gl/YWxJUR
