Remember when Web Watch told you about “butt chugging”, one of the latest teenager trends for getting high, drinking, or doing drugs?
Well, as soon as one fad goes out of fashion, another one comes into vogue — and by now, Web Watch is sure that you’ve already heard about those kids who are trying to get high via hand sanitizer.
Really?
Really?

Web Watch remembers the old adage when we were just starting out to be able to sustain ourselves on our own.
“When you make your budget, you should always devote 1/3 to housing, 1/3 to transportation, and 1/3 for everything else.”
Now, we may not have been able to follow that breakdown exactly, but it’s not necessarily that far from the truth of how AMERICANS ACTUALLY SPEND THEIR PAYCHECK. Especially if you take into account the need for saving some money for retirement or a rainy day, that ratio may be better split into quarters:
“devote 1/4 to housing, 1/4 to transportation, 1/4 put away in the bank/IRA/investments, 1/4 for everything else”
That seems to be closer to the truth. Let’s take a look at how the average 48-year-old spends their average $63,091 annual salary (before taxes):

Web Watch learned the hard way how to appreciate wine.
For years, we avoided wine like the plague – preferring vodka, beer, or other alcoholic alternatives to all types of wine. We just didn’t enjoy it as much as we were told we should.
Then one day, we received a $125 bottle of wine as a gift.
That is when our opinion on wine changed dramatically.

When you go out to the club, are all eyes on you?
Are you with the Party Rock Crew, where all drinks are free?
Well, to run a successful nightclub – you can’t make a habit from giving your drinks away to just anybody. Handing them out for free to Web Watch? Sure – that’s to be expected – but not everyone can get away with that like we can.
Still, when you’re making millions upon millions of dollars a year on $500 bottle service, it’s okay to throw out a free drink on occasion. Grease the celebrity wheels, if you will.

First dates are always rough.
Especially if it’s a blind date.
You’re typically going to meet at a bar (a “safe place” for some), and order a couple of drinks and have a few laughs.

Why?
Because First Impressions are a key element to having a successful First Date. And there is one thing you can do to ensure that your first impression is a good one.
And that’s to be careful with what you’re seen with as your first drink.

The “Office Party”.
It’s the perfect time to get drunk and tell your boss what you really think of them, right?
Wrong.
Web Watch used to work for a company that was rather liberal with their alcohol at events. After a while, we had to wonder what one needed to do to get the Big Boss pissed off enough to fire someone for what they did at the office holiday party. It became a fascinating experiment.
Web Watch recalls one party many years ago that we attended where the Big Boss ended up carrying one of the part-time employees out to a cab because she was passed out drunk. This didn’t seem to have any affect on her career at that company, as she’s still employed there.

Every year at Christmas time, it’s the same old thing being yelled out in kitchens across the country, “You’ll shoot your eye out, kid!”

And that’s why Web Watch is happy to bring you these handy tips on the PROPER WAY TO OPEN A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE without worrying about damaging your home or injuring someone with a flying errant cork, courtesy of Korbel – makers of fine champagne and other beverages.
Because reading Web Watch with just one eye because you wanted to rush to get your drink on at Christmas or New Year’s Eve is just crazy.

Web Watch works hard to make sure our readers are ahead of the curve on various topics. We like to be among the leaders, not a mere follower.
Which is why, when we see articles on CNN about how INTERNET FEES IRRITATE HOTEL GUESTS, we secretly smile and go about our business in bringing you the good stuff, because we know that we already brought up this very same topic about hotel internet fees almost a year ago.

Choices and Consequences: What to Do When a Teenager Uses Alcohol/Drugs
Social networking website can be addicting. Who knew?
The people at the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, that’s who.

Want to save money?
Well, you have to ask yourself about what is one of your biggest expenses that you can’t live without.

David Zinczenko, Matt Goulding, and the rest of the gang at Men’s Health have a great concept that Web Watch wholeheartedly agrees with — if you want to lose weight the easy way, just change what you eat through simple meal replacements.
Like the photo above, you can still have your giant-sized coffee beverage, but the Starbucks version will save you 200 calories and 30 grams of fat.
But let’s face it – their book is full of practical advice when what we really want are the details surrounding the unpublished information on the drinks we really enjoy: beer and liquor.

Video Fun: How to sneak alcohol onto a cruise ship
It’s a game played everywhere around the world:
Tourists find ways to sneak alcohol onto cruise ships, and cruise ships do everything they can to prevent their guests from doing so.
Web Watch has seen cases of beer and liquor be confiscated time and time again when unsuspecting passengers attempt to circumvent the ship’s rules about bringing contraband onboard.
We completely understand, and would never dream of trying to sneak any excess liquor onto our next cruise vacation by replacing the shampoo in a bottle with Kahlua.
That’s just nasty.
