Larry Lamb revealed he gave up drinking alcohol as his hangovers got worse with age.
The former EastEnders actor opened up about his past habits in a new interview as the on-screen star admitted he had to “knock it on the head”.
“I gave it up because the hangovers started to get so intense. I thought, ‘I’m not doing this any more.’ That was it. I just knocked it on the head,” he told Radio Times. “It was no big
An Indiana mom of two collapsed and died from water toxicity after drinking too much water in a short period of time, her family says.
Ashley Summers, 35, was near Monticello at Lake Freeman with her husband and two daughters over July 4th weekend when she was hospitalized with brain swelling, Ashley’s brother, Devon Miller, told WRTV.
“Someone said she drank four bottles of water in 20 minutes,” Miller said. “I mean, an average water bottle is like 16 ounces,
I’m a vermouth partisan of long standing. At bars and restaurants, I prefer my Martinis mermaid-wet; at home, I responsibly store my open bottles in the fridge instead of at room temperature on the liquor shelf. As I’ve got older, and the joys of pure drunkenness have dulled, vermouth—wine that’s been aromatized with herbs and spices and fortified with additional alcohol—has become my go-to for an easy, low-wattage drink on leisurely afternoons or for pre-dinner relaxation. Even the most sparsely
As recently as the 1990s, Jodi Stookey, a nutrition consultant based in California, remembers hydration research being a very lonely field. The health chatter was all about fat and carbs; children routinely subsisted on a single pouch of Capri Sun a day. Even athletes were discouraged from sipping on fields and race tracks, lest the excess liquid slow them down. “I can’t tell you how many people told me I was stupid,” Stookey told me, for being one of water’s
A British woman claimed she was left in “excruciating pain” after consuming water from dirty plastic glasses that led to a lip infection during a TUI holiday in a “hotel from hell”. Sandra Mason, 58, shared her horror experience after finding out about other couples’ stay at the Riu Republica in the Dominican Republic as a “horror movie”.
The tourists told how they saw couples have sex and defecate in the pool, dodged vomit and watched drugs sold openly.

Drinking two litres of water per day is vital for keeping the body hydrated.
But rapidly getting through this amount — just shy of four pints — can be deadly, experts warn.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) bosses advise no more than 1.4 litres per hour, around six cups. Otherwise, it can trigger hyponatremia, a medical emergency that can shut down the body.
The CDC also warns it can happen with energy drinks and other fluids — though
Biscuits, cakes and fizzy drinks could increase the risk of getting kidney stones, researchers have warned.

Just inside the rolled-up door of a pumphouse garage, Cole Benak pulled on a pair of black Nitrile gloves. Outside, morning sunshine warmed the quiet wooded hillside. From the room next door, three massive water pumps whined, pushing thousands of gallons per minute of Vancouver, Washington’s drinking water toward a
My husband had an operation on his heart last year due to angina. He is on blood thinners, statins and medication for high blood pressure. But he also drinks a lot, most days, and I worry that he has a problem. Should I try to get him to stop?
This is a problem I often hear in my clinic. Alcohol is a huge health risk, particularly if a person drinks excessively.
On the other hand, not everyone who drinks a
