I've heard people from other countries say that Americans don't know how to drink. To be fair, it's been mostly Australians and Irish people who say that, and they can say whatever they want when it comes to drinking. Still, when I went to Belize they said the same thing. American don't know how to drink? Have you ever seen a white girl named Bethanie stumbling around Hollywood at midnight in a stained cocktail dress after drinking 18 birthday cake shots? She knows how to put them down, although I wouldn't be taking any drinking tips from Bethanie unless you want alcohol poisoning. To find out which state may be best for your drinking style, here are America's drunkest states according to a recent study. #1 is a total shocker!
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
