Not even milk will help says Dr. Eugene LeBlanc, a pharmacologist at Toronto's Addiction Research Foundation. He suggests that you limit yourself to one drink an hour instead. Coffee is another folk tale about cure for drinking.

Yea. To Principal John Plumpton of Jane Junior High School in North York for trying to get more students to read books. Twice a week staff and students are given 50 minutes of the day just to read - anything they like. Some of them may discover that reading is a joy, even though it's a little more work than watching a TV scree. It's a nice idea.
