Chances are, you may even see some absinthe-based Halloween cocktails this weekend when you're out and about. Of course, there'll be plenty of non-absinthe Halloween cocktails, too.

The Indonesian Police have confiscated Molotov cocktails, self-made firearms and bullets as well as sharp weapons from a students' dormitory in South Sulawesi, an officer said Wednesday.

BeerIngredients Processed, fermented and brewed grains, most commonly barley; hops (which are from the hop plant, related to hemp) to give the brew its distinctive bitterness; and malt. Beer can range from light ales to dark stouts depending on the proportions of malt and barley. As a rule of thumb, the darker the color of the brew, the higher the calorie count.Stats One regular 12-ounce beer has 13 grams of carbohydrate and 150 calories; a 12-ounce light beer has 5 carb grams and 100 calories.WineIngredients It's nothing more than fermented grapes, but wine varies in flavor, smoothness and color, due to the type of grapes, climate, soil and production methods. Red wine is made from red grapes; white wine from green; and rose, or blush, from red (not a mixture of red and white, as some people believe). Research has found that red wine helps with blood circulation and, in moderation (one 4- to 6-ounce glass daily) is good for the heartStats One 6-ounce glass of white wine has 1.4 carb
Various drugs taken by the elderly can interact dangerously. Some drugs use the same metabolic pathway and, thus, compete with one another, which can result in hazardous blood levels of one or more drugs. Some drugs cause effects like dehydration that reduce kidney function and the ability to eliminate drug metabolites. The combined effects of some drugs can be more potent than the prescriber intended.

…and oh, mai – those decadent tais! I was reading an online lifestyle magazine today (the exact locale of which I can not seem to track back to) in which was described the world’s most decadent cocktail. Your tab for a singular mai tai would run you $1,400.00. I read further, wondering if the drink glass was rimmed in edible gold dust or some such opulent nonsense! Apparently the price is justified owing to the origin of the rum, which happens to be among one of only six bottles (of a 17 year vintage) of Jamaican rum of the same variety used by Trader Vic to create the original mai tai at his Oakland bar circa 1944.The article went on to cover further mixology mania including “garnishes” in the form of solid gold swizzle sticks and martinis on a 1.52 carat diamond “rock”. Not for me, these absurdities! I shall mix my own, in my humble abode, surrounded by the gems I really appreciate – my family and friends. Tomorrow evening, in fact, I’ll be Chief Cook and mixed drin
