A recent study suggests that millions of women drink alcohol before having sex because they lack confidence in their bodies. Almost half of the women questions said they preferred sex while they were under the influence of alcohol because it helped them to loosen up, have less inhibitions, and be more adventurous. The Herald Sun reports that of the 3000 women surveyed from ages 18-50 had slept with an average of 8 guys, but were durnk for at least 5 of them. 4 out of 10 said that they were under the influence when sleeping with a partner for the first time. The study went on to find that 75% of women liked to drink before sleeping with their husband or boyfriend, and 6% said they had never had sex sober. More then half claimed that drinking with their potential sexual partner was “part of the dating process”. Kathryn Lakeland of Femfresh, which conducted the study, said the results showed women lacked confidence. She went on to say, “The fact alcohol plays an integral role in their love lives shows that women are looking for a boost in self-esteem when it comes to their bedroom antics,” and ” in doing so many women will be losing self-control, and this is when drunken one-night stands are more likely to occur.”

It is Tila Tequila season, but not the reality tv show. This time she is claiming that her boyfriend and NFL star Shawne Merriman tried to choke her. According to Merriman’s lawyer, he was trying to keep an intoxicated Tequila from leaving the apartment and getting into a car to drive. Tila claims via Twitter that this is not true, and that she is allergic to alcohol, and it has been public for years, going on to say she CANT drink.
Merriman responded with the statement ,” At the time, I was concerned about her welfare given the intoxicated state she appeared to be in and I encouraged her to stay until safe transportation could be provided.” To further support his claim, James Brennan, the owner of the Stingaree nightclub where they were at prior to the incident, does not agree with Tila’s claim that she hadnt been drinking. Several of his employees claim to have seen Tila Tequila taking shots of vodka and non other then …tequila. Doesnt is seem like that would be the Tila Tequila shot? Guess Merriman didnt get the Tila Tequila shot of love. Brennan went on the tell the AP ” She wasn’t like falling down or anything of that nature, but she was visibly intoxicated” and further ” it sounds like she is allergic to the truth”

SALABERRY-DE-VALLEYFIELD, Quebec — Roger Walsh, 57, was sentanced to life in prison by a Quebec judge recently. It was the 19th conviction for drunk driving, according to the courts. This is the first time that a life sentance has been given by a judge for a drunk driving conviction, says Prosecutor Joey Davis. Walsh struck and killed Anee Khudaverdian on her 47th birthday last year. Khudaverdian, who was in a wheel chair, was out walking her dog when she was struck by Walsh and sent into a ditch. After the incident, Walsh drove away until he was arrested almost 6 miles away after driving himself into a ditch. The Judge, Michel Mercier, declared the man incorrigible and said it was likely that he would commit further crimes. In all, Walsh has 19 impaired driving convictions, and 114 other convictions ranging from assault, threats, breaking and entering, and even theft. The prosecution was only asking for a 10 year sentance, but the judge thought this deserved a life sentance. It is unclear whether or not Walsh will appeal.
