Cheers!

Got any fancy plans for tonight? I'll probably be sleeping before the ball drops- you know, the exciting life of a Morning Show Anchor! LOL- really, I'm not sure I could make it to midnight like  I used to! I really do value my sleep.

Well, if your plans include raising your glass for a toast... or two... or three... orrrrr, well, you get the point-- listen up! Yes, this is a warning not to drink too much. Aside from the fact that you could loose all good judgement and end up kissing and spending the night with someone you would bite your arm off in the morning to get away from- you could also do some serious harm to your body.

I found this really interesting article that tells you exactly what alcohol does to your body! Did you know that it affects nearly every system in your body- from your brain to your immunity?

Joints ever hurt after a long night of partying? No- it's not because you danced too hard- it's because alcohol messes with your metabolism of a specific protein that can lead to an increased production of uric acid and that can cause arthritis!

I was shocked to learn that if your blood alcohol reaches .35 or higher it can short circuit your coughing, gagging and choking reflexes!

And if that's not enough- men, if you drink too much you might not be able to uuhhh, impress the ladies in the sack! Yep- with as low as a .08 blood content its hard to maintain your... well, you know!

Anyways, please check out THIS article for more interesting facts- before you head out tonight. And remember- get a designated driver or call a cab- News Anchors hate doing stories about people getting killed.
