Knee-slapper Effects of Consuming Too Much Alcohol

Cheers! Drinking has always been part of any celebration and is a welcome opportunity to come together. While most people drink for social reasons, others drink because consuming alcohol makes them feel good and temporarily blocks thoughts of their present problems. Whatever is the reason for binging on alcohol, the effects on drinkers can be unpredictable or predictable for people who perennially witness the same personalities get drunk.

For Voluptuous Celebrity (VC), alcohol brings out the opposite of her sober image. Away from acting, expect VC to match wits and to speak in straight English. VC has always been known to be articulate and well versed in speaking the foreign language. Sometimes, she even puts on an accent, which is more amusing than irritating. Her ideas can be thought provoking, and she can hit the sensitivities of her audience with her words. At times, she has been noticed to be quite orderly when it comes to things and choosy with how she expresses her ideas.

Other than her daring reputation, VC also has a reputation for loving alcohol. Stories about her behavior after a few rounds are sometimes funny, but should be taken as a warning that such behavior might affect her career. One time VC impressed waiters with her impeccable English as she ordered from the menu. Upon serving, the waiters made sure all the forks, spoons, plates, and glasses were in correct alignment, as they did not want to hear VC comment on details that they do not know how to arrange such utensils.

One drink too many, and soon, VC was losing her language inhibition. Her drunkenness was confirmed when the waiters realized that VC was already speaking to them in Filipino, and was interspersing curse words in her sentences. She was losing her poise, but the servers just kept still and did their job. They acceded to her requests and did not mind her expletive-laden local language comment on their unisex comfort room, which she said was unclean and sticky as she almost slipped on the floor.

The effect of a night’s drinking can be a horrible hangover, and most would prefer to stay in bed the next morning. However, VC did not back out of her responsibility. Still having the smell of smoke on her hair and alcohol on her breath, VC went to her shoot and presented herself. Then, she got surprised when the scene required her to be physically close to an actor. VC panicked, as she realized the actor might squeal if he smells her. She called for a few minutes of timeout, and the set had to wait until VC cleaned herself and she resorted to spraying cologne all over her body to mask the smell of a night’s revelry. Given her love for partying, this incident might not be the last for VC, as she knows how to get away from such smelly situations creatively.

Hereditary Cancer Test Debuts in Philippines

According to a report by the Philippine Cancer Society (PCS), specific cancers, such as breast cancer and colon cancer, can be linked to genetics for a few individuals.

Based on 2008 rates, the PCS said that 13 out of 100 males and 12 out of 100 females in the Philippines would have had some form of cancer if they would have lived up to age 75.

The same report showed 10 out of 100 males and 7 out of 100 females would have died from cancer before age 75.

But the situation is not hopeless. The PCS added that for such individuals with an inherited cancer risk, "cancer is not inevitable. If they avoid the cancer promoting substance, and strengthen their defenses by maintaining healthy lifestyles from childhood, they will win."

A cancer test that can detect gene mutations associated to eight major types of cancer has recently debuted in the country. In an exclusive interview with CNN Philippines, Dr. Jon Atacador said that the Myriad myRisk Hereditary Cancer test covers eight different cancers — including that of the breast — which he cited as the number one [cancer] in the Philippines.

Other forms of cancer covered by the test include endomitral, ovary, gastric, pancreatic, colorectal, prostate, and melanoma.

Melissa Ongsue-Lee, VP for Sales and Marketing of Hi-Precision Diagnostics, said that the test is the same one used by Angelina Jolie in 2013.

The test is not that complicated. "It's actually a blood test. It's just like you're having your sugar tested," explained Atacador.

Despite it's simplicity, Atacador added that the test is "99.9% sensitive." Apart from giving a complete report, the test also gives medical management guidelines to the patient's doctor.

Atacador explained that certain genes, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2, are very specific for cancer.

"If the patient is tested positive, meaning [that] there's a mutation for this gene, the lifetime risk is about 80% to develop breast cancer and about 50% for ovarian cancer."

Nevertheless, he pointed out that genes are not the sole factor in determining cancer risk. "Breast cancer, for example…it's like only about 15% to 20% hereditary."

"But you need to review the family history of the patient. If there's really a strong family history [of breast cancer] then it's advisable that they should undergo the test."

The test is not cheap. But Ongsue-Lee pointed out that it's a matter of setting priorities. "We're talking about health. People spend more money on their handbags than actually in their health."
