Because boozing and snoozing don't mix. "The adage 'Tie one on for a good night's sleep' isn't true," says Gerard Lombardo, M.D., director of the Center for Sleep Disorders Medicine & Research at New York Methodist Hospital. Alcohol will help you fall asleep faster, but it also inhibits deep REM sleep, so the slightest noise or movement can wake you. What's more, alcohol relaxes your throat enough that the brain may think you're choking and jolt you awake. How to ensure a good night's sleep? Stop drinking at least 4 hours before going to bed, Dr. Lombardo says.

Old wines that have been cellared properly will contain sediment due to the aging process. By properly decanting the wine, the sediment will remain in the bottle.
Young full-bodied red wines can benefit from decanting. When the wine comes in contact with oxygen, the aromas present in the wine are released. The decanter in this case should be a wide bottomed decanter. Wide body decanters provide more surface area for oxygen to allow aromas from the wine to be released.
The presentation of wine in a beautiful crystal decanter adds to the ambience of a beautifully set table and prepared dinner
Update January 31, 2009: It's too late to get the glasses mailed to you buy calling the number listed in the press release. Obviously they are being sold on EBay and elsewhere, but if you haven't given up hope of getting your mitts on the glasses for free, here's a separate post with a list of participating retailers per Sobe where you can hopefully obtain a pair.
There seems to be enough interest in this that I figured I would just do a separate post. I'm not sure if there's anything 3D in the Super Bowl other than the Monsters vs. Aliens trailer, but I finally watched the commercial that's been airing in the playoffs for the 3D glasses. According to the ad they will be available at Pepsi and Sobe displays at your favorite retailer, though all that's displayed in the commercial is a Sobe display that definitely gives Chuck some promotion!
Q: I'm gunning for a promotion and I'm scheduled to play golf with the big boss, who's totally a duffer. I'm a six handicap. Do I take a dive? Bill, Pheonix, A
Q: I think my buddy has a drinking problem. We go out together, though. So I'm wondering how I raise my concerns without sounding like a complete hypocrite? Chris, Rochester, MN
The Super Bowl stopped being a game a long time ago. Now, it is an event. Therefore, you can't approach your Super Bowl Party n the same manner that you would some semi-meaningless Week 7 game between the Texans and Browns.
No sir. You want your Super Bowl party to rock. And you want your party to be equipped for the fact that more than half of the Super Bowls ever played have been blowouts. And the best way to do that is to have several Super Bowl party games handy in case things get out of hand.
Depending on how rowdy or reckless your group is willing to be there are numerous drinking games at your disposal. Just remember to keep the rules simple, keep the rules light, and make sure they are clearly stated beforehand.
But here are a few suggestions for Super Bowl party games that could help you maximize your viewing experience. Yes, all of my games involve either drinking or gambling. But what do you expect? If you aren't doing one or both of those things on Super Sunday you aren't really celebrating The Game:
Click here for super-bowl-squares.pdf for a printable grid: This is a must-have. Basically, if you are at a party where you don't have betting squares you are a Communist. You can play for anywhere from $1 to $50 per square but the best way to go is generally to settle at $5 per square, giving you a $500 kitty. Just make sure that everyone knows to bring cash to the party. There's always one guy that wants to play on IOU or credit. Never works out.
Q: I have the job, the house, and the dog, but my wife hounds me that I need to mature in my music tastes. Do I really need to grow up my tunes? Tony, Springfield, MA
