Bear with me on this one. I signed up for the 5 a.m. shift for the Relay For Life this past weekend, and I have a 15-day-old child at home. It’s not my fault if my brain is thinking weird things.

Two of my co-workers at a past job had a tradition when we would have a nightcap after work. One would drink all soda. The other would drink all beer.

Without fail, by the end of the night the one who drank pop would act just as weird as the one drinking beer.

I remembered those days when watching an event at the Relay For Life. Two guys went head-to-head to see who could drink a 2-liter of pop the fastest.

Both were drooling with severe headaches and acting strangely by the time they were finished.

Sound like the final end result of another kind of binge drinking?

So here’s a thought for those under 21 oout there who insist on having a drink in hand at your social gatherings: binge on soft drinks instead of on alcohol.

I’ll guarantee, whatever effect you are going for with the alcohol, you’ll get the same effect from soda.
