Drink, Drink, Drink Till Your Brain Disappears

A new study out of Australia found that, as dumb as it is, some teens are drinking so much at once that they're blacking out. More than a quarter of 15-year olds down under say it's happened to them.

Not only can blackouts cause permanent brain damage (especially in teens), they also erase big chunks of your memory, making you forget all the dumb stuff you did the night before because you were too drunk to control yourself.

Plus, there's an 800% greater chance that someone will doodle stuff on your face and upload a picture of it to Facebook.

If you go to a party, it's really not that hard to make it through the night without drinking alcohol. Read these tips on how to do it in style.

And if you insist on drinking, please promise me you'll switch to soda as soon as you feel a little buzzed. It's way more mature than losing your control (or your consciousness). And I really want you to make it to your 20's with all of your brain intact.
