If you’re like me, and I think you and I are a lot alike, Internet, then you value some “healthy” competition whilst shoveling booze into your system. Drinking games can often be the best part of any get-together where beers, wine, shots, absinthe, and more […]
According to statistics provided by the U.S. Bureau of Investigations, an average of 89,000 rapes are reported annually in the United States, although an alarming 60% of rapes go unreported, and an even more baffling 95% of college rapes are never reported. Date rape drugs […]
