But, Max, a day without a buzz is a day that never was.
Besides, I could just as easily fall under a bus. So, life is full of risks.

But it's a much more effective buzz.

Ok, this is completely unrelated to the original topic of this thread, but did you hear about the lady to died from water intoxication earlier this week?
She was participating in a radio show contest where we she had to drink water and not use the restroom. During the contest the DJ's talked about how someone died of water intoxication in 2005 in the area. A nurse called into the station and warned the contestants to stop, but the DJ's said they all signed releases so they were ok.
The lady came in 2nd place and drank about 2 gallons of water during the contest. She complained of a headache and she was very bloated, and the DJ's asked her if she was ok. They found her dead about 5 hours later at her apartment.
10 of the radio station employees were fired, including the 3 DJ's from the morning show that held the contest.

I don't see how the family could sue the station. She was an adult and no one put a gun to her head to drink all that water. Plus she did sign a release form. I admit when I saw the headline on the news I asked if that could really happen because I have never even heard of that.

If you click on the second link I posted, it is a transcript of how lightly the DJs took the whole contest. SingaLittle, you cracked me up!

Lip Gloss, if you didn't know that there was such a thing as water poisening, isn't it possible that she didn't either? And if the radio station had direct knowledge that this was a possibility, and were even warned about how dangerous it was while it was going on, and didn't warn the participants, don't you think they hold a measure of responsibility?
I hate it when the first thing people do when something goes wrong is to hire a lawyer and sue. And leagally, I don't know if the radio station was liable or not, but morally, I think they're responsible for what happened.

The DJ's knew that it was dangerous, there a student at chico state that did the same thing a few years ago and died, and the DJ's made a comment about that before the contest, so THEY KNEW it was bad!! and did it anyway, I thought they were very bad!!

Even if they didn't know (which I know they did), in this day in age you would assume they did some due diligence. Would you have a water drinking contest at your bank without picking up the phone to a physician and asking some questions? IMO the station has some liability.
