A Toast!
Gallup's annual drinkin' poll is out, and...well... nothing has really changed. It turns out, we still like to drink.
66% of us consume alcohol, with 44% of us throwing back a drink weekly.
22% of us think we have a little too much to drink, which is up from 17% last year. (Hey, we need something to tolerate those non-stop political ads)
In a not so shocking result - women like wine; men like beer.
What to do When Some Woman Flirts With Your Man on Facebook
Like your day isn't busy enough -- now you have to deal with a strange woman flirting with your man on his Facebook page. How do you handle it? Not the way you immediately want to, that's for sure! The love experts at YourTango give us a step-by-step guide on handling this intrusion:
Step 1: Stop listening to the evil side of your brain: Don't Acct Impulsively! Don't respond with a catty comment on this girl's wall post, you're the one that will look bad.
Step 2: Time to investigate...yourself: Pinpiont the real issue! Do you trust him? If you can pinpoint the real cause of your negative emotions, you can deal with them. Turn your emotions around by doing some things that make you happy, you'll then feel less like a victim.
Step 3: Take a look around. Assess the frequency! Check out often she is writing and bring it up to him only if your sixth sense tells you something feels wrong.
Step 4: Here we go: Have "the talk." After a day or so, and in a calm, cool way, tell him what you saw and how you felt when you saw it. Be sure not to accuse him. Focus on your feelings and not him or the other woman. Men don't like to be cornered, so after you've shared your feelings, give him time to solve the issue.

In a survey of 19,000 college students, about half agreed that they lose respect for people who "get around." This seems to be true for both sexes. Yep, it seems that men no longer get a pass!

- 12% held a double standard -- meaning they judge women more harshly
- 13% held a backward double standard -- judging men more harshly
- 27% say they don't judge people at all for hooking up.
