Correspondence With My Astronomy Professor. (Mar 22 2005)
Prof. White:
I told a friend of mine that there's going to be a partial lunar eclipse on my 21st birthday (March 14, 2006), and he told me that people react to alcohol more (so it requires less alcohol to become totally smashed) during eclipses; he said it had something to do with gravity changing the blood or alcohol flow to the brain, like the tide cycle. This sounds like complete crap to me; could it be true?

You are right, Rebecca. This idea is complete and unadulterated crap. You'll still be able to enjoy your birthday, though! Cheers,
Jay
