Falling down drunk
Things that go bump in the night. Then scream, bleed, and are rushed to the emergency room. You guessed it: Drunks, and more alcohol science.
It has now been scientifically proven that drinkers fall down more than non-drinkers. Those who drink are four times more likely to be hurt in accidents within the first 6 hours of drinking. Within 24 hours of drinking, the drinkers are over twice as likely to have accidents. Interestingly, the risk of injury did not increase with type or amount of alcohol consumed, but those who mixed types of alcohol increased their risk of injury substantially.
So, next time you’re about to consume an Irish car bomb, a sake cocktail, a sangria or an atomic Jager bomb, follow these simple drinking safety rules: cover all surfaces between shin- and head-bumping height in white rubber, remove all sharp and/or pointy objects from the vicinity, and avoid contact with hot surfaces and mean drunks. Now, it’s party time!

Oh, sorry about the swearing, I was drunk. You can edit that the “crap” or “hell” if you like, those are PG-13.
