Binge Drink & Do Drugs In Europe To Improve Sex Life…Time To Book Your Flight

eurosex.jpg

For some reason, it’s a big drug-news day. Maybe because it’s Friday, and journalists are gearing up for the weekend. Whatever the reason, we’ve got a fun one this time.

As always, science is confirming something we already know–nearly 1/3 of people that routinely visit pubs, bars and nightclubs and use drugs and alcohol to improve their sex lives. The BBC reports that a recent study shows a third of 16 to 35-year-old men and 23% of women in Europe deliberately binge on alcohol and drugs to improve their sex lives.

If I were you, I’d jump on a plane the second your graduation gown hits the floor. You’ve got three and a half months to celebrate before people start asking questions about you failing at life.

To visiting any one of the nine countries (UK, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Slovenia) included in the survey check out our article, “Fly To Europe This Summer for $225 on Zoom Air,” and get laid doing what you do best.

For some reason, I am not one of those people. But after my family vacation to Mexico last week, I learned a bit about another South-of-the-Border brew: Mezcal.

Like tequila (which is actually a type of mezcal), mezcal is made from agave, a cactus-like plant, native to Mexico. Mezcals are often aged, in oak barrels, for two months to seven years, giving the alcohol a brown coloration and woody flavor, but are available un-aged and clear.

Connoisseurs will tell you the best mezcals come from the Mexican state of Oaxaca (wah-hock-ah). To fully enjoy the complexities of this subtle liquor, go to the city of Oaxaca, the state’s capital, who’s colonial architecture and friendly people only add to the liquor’s historic mystic.
