Sick fans bet on when Gazza will die
It may be a grave situation, but for many punters it's a dead cert - members of an internet fan forum are taking bets on when England football legend Paul Gascoigne is going to die.
Gascoigne, known to millions as Gazza, has had very public issues with alcohol and mental health problems since he quit the game.
But now, supporters of Scottish club Celtic - the bitter rivals of Rangers, a club Gazza once played for - have invented a sinister betting game when participants can guess the time of his death. The game appeared on the 'Huddleboard' website after the latest lurid story involving Gazza, who once took centre stage at World Cup 90 and Euro 96, reported that he had drunk a bottle of whiskey for breakfast.

Man spent $1,000 a week on beer?
And I thought I drank a lot!
"SYDNEY (Reuters) - An Australian man convicted of his seventh drink-driving charge was spending about A$1,000 ($972) a week on beer -- enough to buy more than 2,500 small bottles a month, a newspaper said Tuesday.
The heartbroken construction worker began drowning his sorrows after breaking up with his partner five years ago, the Northern Territory News said, quoting his defense lawyer as telling a court in Australia's remote, tropical north.
The magistrate declined to jail the father of four, Michael Leary, noting he had quit drinking since his latest arrest, but he banned Leary from buying or even holding a beer for 12 months.
The magistrate also poked fun at Leary's favorite beer, Melbourne Bitter, in a part of the country where drinkers can be as loyal to beer brands as they are to football teams.
''(That is) poor judgment on two counts there -- drinking that much and drinking Melbourne Bitter,'' magistrate Vince Luppino was quoted as saying." And I thought I drank a lot! ... more -

The Disease of Choice
I bet you know someone who is an alcoholic or addict. You may be the father, mother, daughter, brother, husband, wife, friend, colleague, or acquaintance of an addict. You may be one yourself. If you are, I salute your fight and commend your determination to beat your affliction. I lost my brother to alcoholism and I never understood (and I am continually on a quest to learn more about) the battle he fought each and every day of his life. His struggle was right in front of me; yet at the same time, a million miles away, and always the question lingered, "why?" Why do people become addicted? Is it a choice? Is it a disease? If an alcoholic chooses his destiny, do we deplore his choice to drink? If it's a disease, then do we lend a helping hand, and bestow our forgiveness? This video explores these questions. I bet you know someone who is an alcoholic or addict. You may be the father, mother, daughter, brother, husband, wife, friend, collea... more
