Question 1

what are the effects of purple drank?

Accepted Answer

Sorry: I don't know what purple drink you are referring to.

Question 2

have red/ purple dots on feet and ankles, have been drinking a lot of soda, and drank alcohol the other day, they showed up around that time. ?

Accepted Answer

I don't think: The soda and or alcohol consumption is related. I can't see the lesions you describe so would refer you to a doc to look at them.

Question 3

after drinking alcohol what has looked like a malar went a purple colour, felt hot and made face look awful. woke up & it's gone. sound like lupus?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not: That scenario is not consistent with lupus.

Question 4

do people really use bromfed (brompheniramine) dm syrup as a "lean" drink?

Accepted Answer

Do Not!!!: The medication is not labeled to be used for such and should not be. Pass this on to those involved in this practice please.

Question 5

is drinking 1 vodkatonic healthy?

Accepted Answer

Not particularly: Alcohol in low doses (1 standard drink/day in women and older men, 2/day in men under 60) may increase our "good" cholesterol - hdl, but exercise does this much better than does alcohol. Red wine contains a chemical (resveratrol) that may be heart-healthy, but red grape juice has it too.  Amounts over the above recommended limits rapidly cause problems that outweigh any good.

Question 6

drinking of farnail will need to die?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely deadly: I think you are asking if drinking farnail is deadly? Well, probably not deadly but not recommended. If it's a young child it depends how much was consumed. I couldn't find out the ingredients online. 
How is the child/person feeling?
Have they vomited?

Question 7

why should the drinking age be 21 >18?

Accepted Answer

Drinking age: The idea is that with greater years, people might be more self-responsible about their drinking.  In adolescence, most people don't realize that they aren't invulnerable or that harm can happen to them.  I don't think this recognition happens magically at 21, but maybe raising the drinking age is an attempt to give more people time to grow up in a healthy way.

Question 8

disagree the drinking age should be 18?

Accepted Answer

Two problems: 1) how do you stop underage drinking and driving.  Motor vehicle crashes from dwi are a terrible problem and adding younger drivers, drinking, will increase that.  2) how do you stop the less than 18 year old crew from drinking?  If the law enforces the dwi laws in place and penalizes those who provide alcohol to minors, then I am for lowering the age to 18.

Question 9

my nailbeds are purple, what is the cause?

Accepted Answer

Nails: Purple nail beds may be due to hypoxia or lack of oxygen. See you physician and get a definitive diagnosis

Question 10

According to the U.S. National library of medicine, vitamin a has many health benefits, ranging from improved vision to the healthy development of soft tissue, skin and bones.
