The Guinness Book of World Records got its start in the 1950s because of a disagreement over drinks. The managing director of the Guinness brewery found himself arguing over what was the fastest game bird in Europe, and none of the involved parties were able to find an answer in the available reference books.

They were given immunity to point the finger at me so they wouldn't get in trouble. That's what this is. I'm not saying I'm not at all to blame whatsoever. It was my alcohol that they got drunk off of. It was my home that they were at. I've never said that I was not aware of any alcohol. I've never stated that. I did become aware of it. I feel responsible.

The paper, which sought to summarize the latest research and was aimed at practicing cardiologists, concluded that light drinking - one to two drinks a day - posed no risk for coronary disease, stroke, sudden death and possibly heart failure, and may even reduce the risk of developing these conditions. Controversy over the influential organization's review has been simmering since it was published in the association's journal Circulation in July.

This is a lot more serious than your company is admitting. For one thing, it's a huge liability to have an employee get so drunk that you have to physically carry him upstairs.

But there are also those among us who would prefer not to have random drunk family members passed out in our living room and instead opt for a night out at our favorite restaurant. This is a story about those unlucky few of us who, year after year, open our establishment's doors to the masses and serve hundreds of turkeys, thousands of potatoes, and an incalculable amount of wine. There are two types of people that volunteer to work at

GLP-1 drugs like semaglutide, the active ingredient in Novo Nordisk's Ozempic and Wegovy, were originally intended to treat diabetes - and didn't become blockbuster prescriptions until doctors realized that they were also potent weight loss aids that seem to re-wire patients' relationship to food and satiety. Since then, it's slowly been emerging that they have another surprising effect: many users report less of a desire to throw back as many drinks as they did before starting the injections.

My previous posts on agreements between relationship partners have focused on sexual agreements, the rules or understandings couples form related to sex with partners outside their relationship (Cain & Starks, 2024). Almost two decades of research has examined the types of sexual agreements couples form, challenges with sexual agreement formation, and associations between sexual agreements and sexual behavior outcomes (most notably sexual HIV transmission risk, use of sexual risk reduction strategies, and drug use). Our recent paper (Starks & Cain, 2025), published in Couple and Family Psychology: Research and Practice, extends this work on behavioral agreements to substance use.
