Report: Beer Really Does Give You Goggles
A new scientific study has revealed that beer really does give you goggles. Researchers at University Hospital in Basel, Switzerland, found drinking beer affects the way we see specific emotions and allows us to see smiling faces quicker. And - confirming Shakespeare who wrote of beer "It provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance," the research also found alcohol doesn't seem to lead to greater sexual arousal. But it does make it easier for people, especially women, to view explicit sexual...

The bedroom – Much More Than a Place to Sleep For Modern Brits
A bedroom is predominantly a place to rest your head after a long day at work and get some good quality sleep, yet increasingly it is becoming a room with a multitude of purposes.
