But this isn't the whole story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The research suggests that alcohol reduces the amount of time you can spend in the sun before you get a burn,\" explains Aaron White, a senior scientific adviser\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>with the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One line of evidence comes from a\u003ca href=\"https://www.karger.com/Article/Abstract/343908\"> small study of healthy men conducted in Germany\u003c/a>. Researchers measured how much UV light it took to burn their skin after the men consumed about three drinks. It turns out, after drinking alcohol, \"the amount of UV light it took to burn the skin was significantly less,\" White explains. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says the result is surprising, \"because it tells us that alcohol increases the risk of getting a sunburn — not just because people don't tend to put on sunscreen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not exactly clear why this happens. But scientists have a hunch. As part of the study, the researchers measured the concentration of carotenoids in the participants' bodies. Carotenoids are the yellow, orange, and red pigments that are produced by plants. \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3942711/\">When we consume carotenoids from fruits and vegetables, these pigments exert an antioxidant effect\u003c/a> in our bodies that may help protect against the damage done by the UV light. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the study, the men's carotenoid levels were lower after they consumed alcohol, so the researchers speculate that this decline in antioxidants may make the skin more vulnerable to the effects of the sun. Two prior studies, one from \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19450371\">Japan \u003c/a>and another from \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16034362\">France\u003c/a>, have also shown that people who consume alcohol regularly have lower concentrations of beta-carotene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decline in antioxidants does not fully explain why drinkers appear to be at higher risk of skin cancers. \"There are [likely] several explanations,\" says researcher Eva Negri of the University of Milan, whose research has documented that regular consumption of alcohol is linked to an increased risk of melanoma. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers say alcohol may act on the body — and skin — in multiple ways and activate a chain of reactions that could make people more vulnerable to skin cancer. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This research is not new, but White says he was surprised when he stumbled upon these findings in the academic literature, because this connection between alcohol and the hastening of sunburn has not been on the radar of alcohol researchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More research is needed to fully understand this connection, but White says it's an important one. \"The added risk of sunburn with alcohol is probably one of the contributing factors to the [higher] rates of skin cancer [among] people who drink [alcohol].\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though all the participants in the German study were Caucasian, \u003ca href=\"https://www.skincancer.org/prevention/skin-cancer-and-skin-of-color\">people with darker skin can get sunburned\u003c/a> and are at risk of skin cancer from UV damage, too, so the concerns about drinking and sunburn apply to people of all skin colors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while most people have heard the message to use sunscreen — the advice to moderate alcohol consumption may help protect your skin, too. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2019 NPR.

Researchers measured how much UV light it took to burn their skin after the men consumed about three drinks. It turns out, after drinking alcohol, \"the amount of UV light it took to burn the skin was significantly less,\" White explains. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says the result is surprising, \"because it tells us that alcohol increases the risk of getting a sunburn — not just because people don't tend to put on sunscreen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not exactly clear why this happens. But scientists have a hunch. As part of the study, the researchers measured the concentration of carotenoids in the participants' bodies. Carotenoids are the yellow, orange, and red pigments that are produced by plants. \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3942711/\">When we consume carotenoids from fruits and vegetables, these pigments exert an antioxidant effect\u003c/a> in our bodies that may help protect against the damage done by the UV light. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the study, the men's carotenoid levels were lower after they consumed alcohol, so the researchers speculate that this decline in antioxidants may make the skin more vulnerable to the effects of the sun. Two prior studies, one from \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19450371\">Japan \u003c/a>and another from \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16034362\">France\u003c/a>, have also shown that people who consume alcohol regularly have lower concentrations of beta-carotene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decline in antioxidants does not fully explain why drinkers appear to be at higher risk of skin cancers. \"There are [likely] several explanations,\" says researcher Eva Negri of the University of Milan, whose research has documented that regular consumption of alcohol is linked to an increased risk of melanoma. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers say alcohol may act on the body — and skin — in multiple ways and activate a chain of reactions that could make people more vulnerable to skin cancer. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This research is not new, but White says he was surprised when he stumbled upon these findings in the academic literature, because this connection between alcohol and the hastening of sunburn has not been on the radar of alcohol researchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More research is needed to fully understand this connection, but White says it's an important one. \"The added risk of sunburn with alcohol is probably one of the contributing factors to the [higher] rates of skin cancer [among] people who drink [alcohol].\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though all the participants in the German study were Caucasian, \u003ca href=\"https://www.skincancer.org/prevention/skin-cancer-and-skin-of-color\">people with darker skin can get sunburned\u003c/a> and are at risk of skin cancer from UV damage, too, so the concerns about drinking and sunburn apply to people of all skin colors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while most people have heard the message to use sunscreen — the advice to moderate alcohol consumption may help protect your skin, too. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2019 NPR.

Only about 36 percent of Mongolians have had an alcoholic drink in the last month based on a WHO survey from 2013, Byambaa says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was basically the same in 2009, though. Even before Elbegdorj asked people to consider taking it a little easy on the bottle, only \u003ca href=\"http://www.who.int/chp/steps/mongolia/en/\">38 percent of Mongolians\u003c/a> reported drinking in the past month. That's low compared to the U.S., where 56 percent of people drink on a monthly basis (and about 27 percent report binge drinking in the past month).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is some indication that things changed in Mongolia between 2005 and 2009, however. The oldest WHO alcohol data on Mongolia is from a 2005 report, which put the percentage of drinkers at about 60 percent of the population. So the WHO data indicates that there really are fewer Mongolians who drink today than over a decade ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112485545\">alcohol misuse\u003c/a> is still a significant \u003ca href=\"http://www.who.int/substance_abuse/publications/global_alcohol_report/profiles/mng.pdf\">public health hurdle\u003c/a> for the country, Byambaa says. \"There's a mean number of standard drinks consumed per drinking occasion, he says. \"That's 9 for us. Think about that number for a second.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The WHO surveys suggest that many Mongolians who do drink are binging on a staggering amount of booze, Byambaa says. That volume hasn't changed much since 2009 either. \"[The mean number of drinks per occasion] was 8.8 drinks in 2009. That one went up a little bit,\" Byambaa says. \"It's very alarming.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Did the Dalai Lama and Elbegdorj's call to \"drink milk, not vodka\" have any effect on Mongolian drinking habits? Byambaa demurs to the question. \"I can't quantify the effect of that,\" he says. \"Anecdotally? Well, I can't say anecdotally.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added with a chuckle: \"Well, who am I to judge Dalai Lama?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendee is a little more forthright on the issue. \"I don't think that Dalai Lama and Elbegdorj changed it,\" he says. After the country's hard transition from communism to a market economy, Mongolia has enjoyed steady economic growth since the mid-1990s. Mendee thinks that economic improvement may have done more for alcohol misuse than public health campaigns from dignitaries. Beer and wine are getting more popular nowadays, Mendee adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to whether or not people have begun drinking more fermented mare's milk since His Holiness endorsed it, Byambaa says that airag has always been popular. \"Yeah, I don't know.

Only about 36 percent of Mongolians have had an alcoholic drink in the last month based on a WHO survey from 2013, Byambaa says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was basically the same in 2009, though. Even before Elbegdorj asked people to consider taking it a little easy on the bottle, only \u003ca href=\"http://www.who.int/chp/steps/mongolia/en/\">38 percent of Mongolians\u003c/a> reported drinking in the past month. That's low compared to the U.S., where 56 percent of people drink on a monthly basis (and about 27 percent report binge drinking in the past month).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is some indication that things changed in Mongolia between 2005 and 2009, however. The oldest WHO alcohol data on Mongolia is from a 2005 report, which put the percentage of drinkers at about 60 percent of the population. So the WHO data indicates that there really are fewer Mongolians who drink today than over a decade ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112485545\">alcohol misuse\u003c/a> is still a significant \u003ca href=\"http://www.who.int/substance_abuse/publications/global_alcohol_report/profiles/mng.pdf\">public health hurdle\u003c/a> for the country, Byambaa says. \"There's a mean number of standard drinks consumed per drinking occasion, he says. \"That's 9 for us. Think about that number for a second.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The WHO surveys suggest that many Mongolians who do drink are binging on a staggering amount of booze, Byambaa says. That volume hasn't changed much since 2009 either. \"[The mean number of drinks per occasion] was 8.8 drinks in 2009. That one went up a little bit,\" Byambaa says. \"It's very alarming.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Did the Dalai Lama and Elbegdorj's call to \"drink milk, not vodka\" have any effect on Mongolian drinking habits? Byambaa demurs to the question. \"I can't quantify the effect of that,\" he says. \"Anecdotally? Well, I can't say anecdotally.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added with a chuckle: \"Well, who am I to judge Dalai Lama?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendee is a little more forthright on the issue. \"I don't think that Dalai Lama and Elbegdorj changed it,\" he says. After the country's hard transition from communism to a market economy, Mongolia has enjoyed steady economic growth since the mid-1990s. Mendee thinks that economic improvement may have done more for alcohol misuse than public health campaigns from dignitaries. Beer and wine are getting more popular nowadays, Mendee adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to whether or not people have begun drinking more fermented mare's milk since His Holiness endorsed it, Byambaa says that airag has always been popular. \"Yeah, I don't know. It looks like milk. It's sour,\" he says. \"I like it. It's my favorite.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2017 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/115816/looking-into-the-horse-milk-story-that-the-dalai-lama-told-john-oliver","authors":["byline_bayareabites_115816"],"categories":["bayareabites_11028","bayareabites_2090","bayareabites_10028","bayareabites_1245"],"tags":["bayareabites_8359","bayareabites_11015","bayareabites_15777","bayareabites_15778"],"featImg":"bayareabites_115817","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_104670":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_104670","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"104670","score":null,"sort":[1449870954000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"to-go-green-bars-try-to-reuse-their-booze","title":"To Go Green, Bars Try To Reuse Their Booze","publishDate":1449870954,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>You probably don't waste a whole lot of wine or booze in your own home.

This unfermented cider is aged for nine months in neutral oak barrels. It’s a super dry and tart blend of heirloom apple and pineapple quince. The 2014 variety is nine percent alcohol and the 2013 bottle is 7.7 percent. They are both sulfite-free, organic and amazing. The 2013 variety is becoming harder to find. I pray the 2015 variety will be as good as the last two batches. Or maybe I pray it won’t. Because they’re so good that I can’t stop buying them.

A young couple leave Berkeley to start growing 55 varieties of heirloom apples on a farm in Sebastopol. They end up growing over 6,500 apple trees. Fast forward to 2012 and the couple’s daughter Jolie Devoto decides to start a craft cider company with her husband Hunter. Today Devoto Orchard’s Estate Cider comes in a bottle and in three varieties. The award-winning\u003cbr>\n\"1976\" is a semi-dry cider made with the heirloom ciders from their own farm. (And my personal favorite.) “It's the motherlode blend that we produce every year to pay homage to my parents,” Jolie Devoto tells me. “It will be different every year, but that's ok, as cider is an agricultural product and the apple blends will be different. We're currently sipping on the 2013 vintage, which is gorgeous right now -- super lush, full bodied, with notes of pear, ripe fruit, and lots of layers.” Then there’s the \"Cidre Noir,\" made with Arkansas Black, Black Twig and Black Jonathan apples. Jolie recommends pairing these with \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/11/03/cheese-pioneers-an-interview-with-cowgirl-creamery-about-their-first-book-cowgirl-creamery-cooks/\" target=\"_blank\">Cowgirl Creamery’s \"Mt.

The \"Gravenstein\" is - you guessed it - made with Gravenstein apples. It’s the driest of the bunch. It touts having the aroma of “ginger, licorice, and crisp green apple.” I didn’t taste all that but my palate was really happy with the experience nonetheless.

Jolie Devoto tells me this year they’ve produced just shy of 100,000 gallons at their cidery in Graton (10 miles north of their Sebastopol orchard) for their Golden State Cider, which comes in a four pack of cans. “Hunter and I had wanted to put cider in cans for years,” says Devoto. “We were able to produce a business model where that worked. [And] cans are very portable. We are big hikers and surfers, so the package made sense.” Golden State touts being 100 percent cold pressed apples with no added water, sugar or concentrates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.drinkgoldenstate.com\" target=\"_blank\">Golden State Cider\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> (owned by Devoto Orchards)\u003cbr>\nSebastopol, CA\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Golden-State-Cider-658871930825947/\" target=\"_blank\">Golden State Cider\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/DrinkGoldenSt8\" target=\"_blank\">@DrinkGoldenSt8\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice: $11.99 per 4-pack\u003cbr>\nWhere to Find: \u003ca href=\"http://www.rainbow.coop/\" target=\"_blank\">Rainbow Grocery\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Whole Foods Market\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.traderjoes.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Trader Joe’s\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_102881\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-102881\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/11/nana1-1-400x807.jpg\" alt=\"Nana Mae's Wild Side Early Harvest Gravenstein Cider is produced with heirloom Gravenstein apples from Sonoma County.\" width=\"400\" height=\"707\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nana Mae's Wild Side Early Harvest Gravenstein Cider is produced with heirloom Gravenstein apples from Sonoma County. \u003ccite>(Shuka Kalantari)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Sonoma County apple man Paul Kolling of \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nanamae.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Nana Mae's Wild Side Cider\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> created its Early Harvest Gravenstein Cider in 2013.

Seriously. Craft ciders are now as popular as Malbec used to be a few years ago. I couldn’t be any happier. I love a good cider. I have Celiac Disease, so I particularly love cider because if gluten-free beer isn’t around, it’s nice to still be able to have a glass of a beer-like drink with my friends. (I know cider isn’t beer and doesn’t taste like beer. I just mean as far as alcohol content, mass and presentation they’re similar; it makes sense in my head.) I avoid ciders filled with added sugars or concentrates, so here's five of my favorite Northern California ciders that aren’t too sweet and don’t have extra junk in them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_102873\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-102873\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/11/troy1-e1446511504341-400x491.jpg\" alt=\"Troy Cider is a sulfite-free cider with organic heirloom apples.\" width=\"400\" height=\"391\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/11/troy1-e1446511504341-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/11/troy1-e1446511504341-64x64.jpg 64w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Troy Cider is a sulfite-free cider with organic heirloom apples. \u003ccite>(Shuka Kalantari)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There are not enough words to describe how delicious \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.troycider.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Troy Cider\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> is. It is my favorite cider in the world. No, they’re not paying me to say that. I have to pay the $9.99 per bottle just like you. Troy doesn’t come cheap, but it’s worth it. This unfermented cider is aged for nine months in neutral oak barrels. It’s a super dry and tart blend of heirloom apple and pineapple quince. The 2014 variety is nine percent alcohol and the 2013 bottle is 7.7 percent. They are both sulfite-free, organic and amazing. The 2013 variety is becoming harder to find. I pray the 2015 variety will be as good as the last two batches. Or maybe I pray it won’t. Because they’re so good that I can’t stop buying them. Troy Cider was started by a guy named Troy Carter in Sonoma County. You can watch \u003ca href=\"http://www.troycider.com/\" target=\"_blank\">a video of him\u003c/a> and his flowing blonde locks. Mark McTavish & Darek Trowbridge of \u003ca href=\"http://www.halfpintciders.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Half Pint Ciders\u003c/a> in Los Angeles got a taste of the cider and bought the company from Carter.

A young couple leave Berkeley to start growing 55 varieties of heirloom apples on a farm in Sebastopol. They end up growing over 6,500 apple trees. Fast forward to 2012 and the couple’s daughter Jolie Devoto decides to start a craft cider company with her husband Hunter. Today Devoto Orchard’s Estate Cider comes in a bottle and in three varieties. The award-winning\u003cbr>\n\"1976\" is a semi-dry cider made with the heirloom ciders from their own farm. (And my personal favorite.) “It's the motherlode blend that we produce every year to pay homage to my parents,” Jolie Devoto tells me. “It will be different every year, but that's ok, as cider is an agricultural product and the apple blends will be different. We're currently sipping on the 2013 vintage, which is gorgeous right now -- super lush, full bodied, with notes of pear, ripe fruit, and lots of layers.” Then there’s the \"Cidre Noir,\" made with Arkansas Black, Black Twig and Black Jonathan apples. Jolie recommends pairing these with \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/11/03/cheese-pioneers-an-interview-with-cowgirl-creamery-about-their-first-book-cowgirl-creamery-cooks/\" target=\"_blank\">Cowgirl Creamery’s \"Mt.

The \"Gravenstein\" is - you guessed it - made with Gravenstein apples. It’s the driest of the bunch. It touts having the aroma of “ginger, licorice, and crisp green apple.” I didn’t taste all that but my palate was really happy with the experience nonetheless. All three ciders are excellent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.devotocider.com\" target=\"_blank\">Devoto Orchard’s Estate Cider\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nSebastopol, CA\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Devoto-Orchards-165062223540704\" target=\"_blank\">Devote Orchards\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/devoto_orchards\" target=\"_blank\">@devoto_orchards\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice: $12.99 per bottle\u003cbr>\nWhere to Find: \u003ca href=\"http://www.rainbow.coop/\" target=\"_blank\">Rainbow Grocery\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Whole Foods Market\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_102870\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-102870\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/11/goldenstate2.jpg\" alt=\"Co-founder Jolie Devoto says she always wanted craft cider in a can, so she produced one.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/11/goldenstate2.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/11/goldenstate2-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/11/goldenstate2-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/11/goldenstate2-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/11/goldenstate2-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/11/goldenstate2-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Co-founder Jolie Devoto says she always wanted craft cider in a can, so she produced one. \u003ccite>(Shuka Kalantari)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The story of \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.drinkgoldenstate.com\" target=\"_blank\">Golden State Cider\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> begins in 1976.

Everyone will tell you, \"Oh, it's because alcohol dehydrates you and that's what's causing the hangover.\"... [So you're told to] alternate [between water and alcohol], or have a big glass of water before you go to bed, and some of that comes from the fact that you do get dehydrated. But, in fact, the dehydration does not seem to be what's causing the hangover. You can fix the dehydration — and you're still hung over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[Also,] it's probably not the case that it's blood sugar that's causing the hangover. When you drink, your blood sugar levels are affected. But by the time you're hung over, your blood sugar levels are back to normal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's that thing about mixing your drinks — drinking beer and then drinking wine, right? Again, no, you can do the study where you can have somebody drinking the same drink and getting to the same blood alcohol level and somebody drinking different drinks and getting to the same blood alcohol and they both get the same hangover, they both report the same symptoms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On measuring and studying hangovers \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn't until very recently that the researchers who studied hangovers even had a shared kind of language or vocabulary to even talk about them. They didn't even have a surveyed instrument that they could use to give people to have a reliable account of whether your hangover was worse than mine or different from mine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On a hangover being an inflammatory response \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[Scientists] finally have a survey instrument that they can give somebody and assess, \"You have a Level 9 hangover, and you have a Level 7 hangover,\" and they finally started to see that overlap with both migraine and also an inflammatory response, so the kind of thing you would have if you had the flu — where you feel achy and you feel slow and your brain doesn't work as fast and [you have] general malaise. Looking at that, they can go, \"K, let's see if in fact this is an inflammation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you look at people with hangovers, the same markers in the blood that you would see with an inflammatory response, things like cytokines, for example — which are molecule[s] that the immune [system] uses to talk to itself — actually do seem elevated, and even better, you can induce what looks like a hangover by giving somebody those same molecules. ...

Everyone will tell you, \"Oh, it's because alcohol dehydrates you and that's what's causing the hangover.\"... [So you're told to] alternate [between water and alcohol], or have a big glass of water before you go to bed, and some of that comes from the fact that you do get dehydrated. But, in fact, the dehydration does not seem to be what's causing the hangover. You can fix the dehydration — and you're still hung over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[Also,] it's probably not the case that it's blood sugar that's causing the hangover. When you drink, your blood sugar levels are affected. But by the time you're hung over, your blood sugar levels are back to normal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's that thing about mixing your drinks — drinking beer and then drinking wine, right? Again, no, you can do the study where you can have somebody drinking the same drink and getting to the same blood alcohol level and somebody drinking different drinks and getting to the same blood alcohol and they both get the same hangover, they both report the same symptoms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On measuring and studying hangovers \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn't until very recently that the researchers who studied hangovers even had a shared kind of language or vocabulary to even talk about them. They didn't even have a surveyed instrument that they could use to give people to have a reliable account of whether your hangover was worse than mine or different from mine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On a hangover being an inflammatory response \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[Scientists] finally have a survey instrument that they can give somebody and assess, \"You have a Level 9 hangover, and you have a Level 7 hangover,\" and they finally started to see that overlap with both migraine and also an inflammatory response, so the kind of thing you would have if you had the flu — where you feel achy and you feel slow and your brain doesn't work as fast and [you have] general malaise. Looking at that, they can go, \"K, let's see if in fact this is an inflammation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you look at people with hangovers, the same markers in the blood that you would see with an inflammatory response, things like cytokines, for example — which are molecule[s] that the immune [system] uses to talk to itself — actually do seem elevated, and even better, you can induce what looks like a hangover by giving somebody those same molecules. ... That's good news because if you say, \"Well, it's an inflammatory response,\" then maybe I can go with anti-inflammatory drugs, and we have those. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2014 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/86332/seeking-proof-for-why-we-feel-terrible-after-too-many-drinks","authors":["5403"],"categories":["bayareabites_301","bayareabites_13306","bayareabites_2254","bayareabites_1244","bayareabites_1245","bayareabites_10916","bayareabites_34","bayareabites_119"],"tags":["bayareabites_13710","bayareabites_8359","bayareabites_11278","bayareabites_2688"],"featImg":"bayareabites_86333","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_85256":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_85256","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"85256","score":null,"sort":[1406559573000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"key-chain-blood-alcohol-testing-may-make-quantified-drinking-easy","title":"Key Chain Blood-Alcohol Testing May Make Quantified Drinking Easy","publishDate":1406559573,"format":"aside","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_85257\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/07/breathalyzer-1b_slide-18cce543d7af2e51b48f9fb6e7d735aa9bf0905f.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/07/breathalyzer-1b_slide-18cce543d7af2e51b48f9fb6e7d735aa9bf0905f.jpg\" alt=\"The BACTrack Vio keychain breathalyzer and app on the iPhone at NPR headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Technology like this, which can help people find out if they're around or over 0.08 BAC, the limit for driving, might even help make a dent in drunk driving rates and the \u003ca href=\"http://responsibility.org/sites/default/files/files/TCC-AIDF_2012.pdf\">10,000 related deaths\u003c/a> every year, the company's president and CEO \u003ca href=\"http://www.bactrack.com/pages/about-us\">Keith Nothacker\u003c/a> tells us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Previously there was a stigma with alcohol testing, and we've been fighting that stigma,\" says Nothacker, who started the company in 2001 as a college senior, and is now based in San Francisco. \"We want people to talk about their BAC and not be embarrassed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The BACtrack app that goes with the Vio takes a reading of your BAC after you blow into the device. But it also allows you to text your friends your BAC. \"So someone can say, 'I am two drinks in, I'm not meeting you there, here's my BAC,' \" Nothacker says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other companies have also begun marketing smartphone blood-alcohol tests to quantified self enthusiasts — any any drinker who wants to be better informed. For example, there's the \u003ca href=\"https://www.breathometer.com/help/faq\">Breathometer\u003c/a>, a device that plugs into the audio jack of the smartphone and connects with an app. It's also about $50.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nothacker might be right that more testing devices in the hands of consumers — rather than just law enforcement — could help bring down consumption of alcohol. But the reading you get will be, at best, a ballpark figure of your actual BAC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of the smartphone devices are as precise or accurate as what the police will use to test your BAC if they pull you over under suspicion of intoxication. According to Nothacker, those devices can compensate for more variables, such as altitude.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one interesting feature of both the Vio and the Breathometer tells you how long it will take to reach 0.0 BAC from wherever you are over 0. \"So if you're drinking late, you'll see that you won't sober up until the next day in a lot of cases,\" Nothacker says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But these companies are clear in their marketing materials about one thing: Don't use this tool to decide whether you should \"operate a motor vehicle or equipment.\" And it's never safe to drink any amount of alcohol and drive, partly because there's a huge variation in how alcohol impairs individuals, even at very low BAC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if these devices can't help you decide definitively if you're too drunk to drive, why would you use it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One public health researcher, who's familiar with the technology, says he thinks these new tools could help people make better decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The key chain Breathalyzer allows people to find out how much they've had to drink objectively. And they can get a pretty good sense of whether it's a good idea to drive,\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.uwpsychiatry.org/ResultsDetail.aspx?EmployeeID=741002171\">Michael McDonell\u003c/a>, an associate professor in the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of Washington, tells The Salt. \"In study after study, we see that just objectively tracking your use of [a substance] will reduce your use.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while a super accurate blood-alcohol test is essential if you're using it to decide whether to send someone to jail,\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>knowing your BAC is 0.041 versus 0.047 is less important for a personal tool, says McDonell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the outcome is to help a person stop using or reduce their use of alcohol, accuracy is less important,\" he says. \"And those expensive devices are never going to get out there to everybody.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McDonell is planning to use the Vio in a study of incentive-based alcohol addiction treatment. He'll give patients the device. They'll measure their BAC and then send it to him through the app. If they blow a 0, they get a reward of some kind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It should allow us to deliver alcohol treatment in people's home, without having them come into the clinic. And that's big because we know most people don't come in,\" he says. The clinic is often too far or too time-consuming or they fear the stigma of being there, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our anecdotal playtime with the Vio certainly made us more aware of the degree of our intoxication. Soon, we were able to more accurately guess our BAC, which the Vio asks you to do before every measurement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We also became more aware of just how much the amount of food in your stomach influences the rate at which you absorb alcohol — the more food you eat, and the slower you drink while eating, the slower your BAC will rise. That rate, though, differs person to person. Check out \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2014/07/10/327854051/alcohol-test-does-eating-yeast-keep-you-from-getting-drunk\">the graphs\u003c/a> from our yeast experiment: The variation between three people of about the same age and weight is pretty significant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But these tools are far from perfect. It turns out that it's a bit awkward to operate both blood-alcohol testing device and a smartphone app in a noisy bar with drunk people around you. And if you're lending the tool to a friend who's never used it before, it can be hard to tell if he's blowing hard enough into the device — the likely cause of several faulty readings of 0.0 one of our friends got with the Vio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Vio is also a bit fussy. We got a lot of error messages. And the company recommends you use it at least once a month to keep it moist and in working order. The texting feature is also a bit clunky, and there's some mixed messages with the marketing of the device. If BACtrack is trying to discourage people from going overboard with alcohol, why encourage them to post pictures of their drunk selves on the Internet through the app?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while BACtrack says to wait at least 20 minutes after eating, drinking or smoking before blowing into the device, that can be inconvenient if you're already intoxicated and need a quick reading. And Nothacker notes it can take up to an hour for alcohol to be absorbed, so your BAC could continue to rise for 40 minutes after a reading.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All in all, though, a key chain blood-alcohol reader is a handy tool to have around. And we can easily imagine a future where people sign their texts and emails with their BAC: \"This email was composed at BAC .06.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe we should even try that here at The Salt: Over and out, with a BAC of 0.0. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2014 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Some of us now monitor our steps, sleep and calorie intake with wristbands and apps.

Technology like this, which can help people find out if they're around or over 0.08 BAC, the limit for driving, might even help make a dent in drunk driving rates and the \u003ca href=\"http://responsibility.org/sites/default/files/files/TCC-AIDF_2012.pdf\">10,000 related deaths\u003c/a> every year, the company's president and CEO \u003ca href=\"http://www.bactrack.com/pages/about-us\">Keith Nothacker\u003c/a> tells us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Previously there was a stigma with alcohol testing, and we've been fighting that stigma,\" says Nothacker, who started the company in 2001 as a college senior, and is now based in San Francisco. \"We want people to talk about their BAC and not be embarrassed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The BACtrack app that goes with the Vio takes a reading of your BAC after you blow into the device. But it also allows you to text your friends your BAC. \"So someone can say, 'I am two drinks in, I'm not meeting you there, here's my BAC,' \" Nothacker says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other companies have also begun marketing smartphone blood-alcohol tests to quantified self enthusiasts — any any drinker who wants to be better informed. For example, there's the \u003ca href=\"https://www.breathometer.com/help/faq\">Breathometer\u003c/a>, a device that plugs into the audio jack of the smartphone and connects with an app. It's also about $50.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nothacker might be right that more testing devices in the hands of consumers — rather than just law enforcement — could help bring down consumption of alcohol. But the reading you get will be, at best, a ballpark figure of your actual BAC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of the smartphone devices are as precise or accurate as what the police will use to test your BAC if they pull you over under suspicion of intoxication. According to Nothacker, those devices can compensate for more variables, such as altitude.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one interesting feature of both the Vio and the Breathometer tells you how long it will take to reach 0.0 BAC from wherever you are over 0. \"So if you're drinking late, you'll see that you won't sober up until the next day in a lot of cases,\" Nothacker says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But these companies are clear in their marketing materials about one thing: Don't use this tool to decide whether you should \"operate a motor vehicle or equipment.\" And it's never safe to drink any amount of alcohol and drive, partly because there's a huge variation in how alcohol impairs individuals, even at very low BAC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if these devices can't help you decide definitively if you're too drunk to drive, why would you use it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One public health researcher, who's familiar with the technology, says he thinks these new tools could help people make better decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The key chain Breathalyzer allows people to find out how much they've had to drink objectively. And they can get a pretty good sense of whether it's a good idea to drive,\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.uwpsychiatry.org/ResultsDetail.aspx?EmployeeID=741002171\">Michael McDonell\u003c/a>, an associate professor in the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of Washington, tells The Salt. \"In study after study, we see that just objectively tracking your use of [a substance] will reduce your use.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while a super accurate blood-alcohol test is essential if you're using it to decide whether to send someone to jail,\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>knowing your BAC is 0.041 versus 0.047 is less important for a personal tool, says McDonell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the outcome is to help a person stop using or reduce their use of alcohol, accuracy is less important,\" he says. \"And those expensive devices are never going to get out there to everybody.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McDonell is planning to use the Vio in a study of incentive-based alcohol addiction treatment. He'll give patients the device. They'll measure their BAC and then send it to him through the app. If they blow a 0, they get a reward of some kind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It should allow us to deliver alcohol treatment in people's home, without having them come into the clinic. And that's big because we know most people don't come in,\" he says. The clinic is often too far or too time-consuming or they fear the stigma of being there, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our anecdotal playtime with the Vio certainly made us more aware of the degree of our intoxication. Soon, we were able to more accurately guess our BAC, which the Vio asks you to do before every measurement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We also became more aware of just how much the amount of food in your stomach influences the rate at which you absorb alcohol — the more food you eat, and the slower you drink while eating, the slower your BAC will rise. That rate, though, differs person to person. Check out \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2014/07/10/327854051/alcohol-test-does-eating-yeast-keep-you-from-getting-drunk\">the graphs\u003c/a> from our yeast experiment: The variation between three people of about the same age and weight is pretty significant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But these tools are far from perfect. It turns out that it's a bit awkward to operate both blood-alcohol testing device and a smartphone app in a noisy bar with drunk people around you. And if you're lending the tool to a friend who's never used it before, it can be hard to tell if he's blowing hard enough into the device — the likely cause of several faulty readings of 0.0 one of our friends got with the Vio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Vio is also a bit fussy. We got a lot of error messages. And the company recommends you use it at least once a month to keep it moist and in working order. The texting feature is also a bit clunky, and there's some mixed messages with the marketing of the device. If BACtrack is trying to discourage people from going overboard with alcohol, why encourage them to post pictures of their drunk selves on the Internet through the app?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while BACtrack says to wait at least 20 minutes after eating, drinking or smoking before blowing into the device, that can be inconvenient if you're already intoxicated and need a quick reading. And Nothacker notes it can take up to an hour for alcohol to be absorbed, so your BAC could continue to rise for 40 minutes after a reading.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All in all, though, a key chain blood-alcohol reader is a handy tool to have around. And we can easily imagine a future where people sign their texts and emails with their BAC: \"This email was composed at BAC .06.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe we should even try that here at The Salt: Over and out, with a BAC of 0.0. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2014 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/85256/key-chain-blood-alcohol-testing-may-make-quantified-drinking-easy","authors":["byline_bayareabites_85256"],"categories":["bayareabites_301","bayareabites_13306","bayareabites_1332","bayareabites_1244","bayareabites_4084","bayareabites_1245","bayareabites_10916","bayareabites_2035","bayareabites_119"],"tags":["bayareabites_8359","bayareabites_11015","bayareabites_13625","bayareabites_13624","bayareabites_8276","bayareabites_13623","bayareabites_10921"],"featImg":"bayareabites_85257","label":"bayareabites"}},"programsReducer":{"possible":{"id":"possible","title":"Possible","info":"Possible is hosted by entrepreneur Reid Hoffman and writer Aria Finger.
