  • How bad is binge drinking for an athlete?

    I play football and run track. I don't want to hear about the legal matters, but rather the physical ones. I binge drink about once a week(5-10 drinks). How bad is this one night of partying on me in the long run?

    Throughout the week, I don't do anything negative(weed, tobacco), I am very healthy actually. I lift and am very hydrated and nutritious and run track every day. Is this one night so detrimental, that it is not worth it?

  • Hydrocodone + Diazepam? Low Dose Okay?

    I am so sore from football, and my Dad who is a Doctor told me I could take 1 tab of 7.5mg/500mg(Hydro, Aceto). I found a pill of diazepam, and decided that would help out a bit too.

    I then realized these two are a bad combo. I heard people die from benzo + opiate combinations.

    Will I be okay? I am 5'11, 17 years old and 140 lbs. I took 7.5 hydro and 5 diazepam.

    Thanks, I just want to be sure before I go to sleep. I have taken both in the past, but not much. Maybe like 5 times each(separately) in the past year. I just ate a meal and drank gatorade to quell the effects hopefully. I'm slightly worried I could have a negative response to these medications even though they are in low dosages. Thanks in advance.

  • What are the chances that I have mono?

    Today I asked for a sip of my friends gatorade and afterwards he realized that he might have mono. He went to the doctors and he told me that he has mono.

    1. What are the chances I will get mono?

    2. I know the symptoms take a month to show, but would a blood test determine if I have EBV?

    I have never had mono before. Thanks

  • Ouran? Will there ever be a second season to Ouran Highschool Host Club?!?

    Okay, so I have read the manga, watched the anime, and I still really want another season. I know this question has been asked on multiple occassions, but honestly I hope it is true. I am aware of the Japanese drama coming out, but the fun-ness of the anime cannot be captured live in my opinion. I know there is enough manga to make another anime season. Please anyone? Any hope?

    Thanks Guys

    Also, is there any anime with developed characters like OHSHC that is as lighthearted and humorous while remaining slightly similar?

    I just am a huge fan of the anime of OHSHC

  • Can I testify in my parents Divorce Trial?

    My Mom is suing my Dad for divorce. Can I testify in favor of my mom against my dad, so she takes his money? He is such an asshole, I cannot begin to explain, and we both believe he is bipolar. He treats us like **** basically. He acts like he's a good dad too which is ridiculous. It has gotten to the point where i told him I was going to kill him, thats how bad he is. My mom has no job and he always threatens us financially because that is his only hold on us. I try to have a relationhip with him but I can't. Sorry this is disorganized but I got into a huge fight with him a few minutes ago and I'm just typing my thoughts. i cannot begin to start about how bad of a dad he has been. Basically he had a bad childhood, and takes it out on us now. He seems to have so many problems, and he never can get work done. He threatens me all the time with financial stuff and just walking out and leaving.

  • My Friend Got Raped, what should I do?

    Okay, so I don't know that much about it, but I am a guy and my friend who is a girl got assaulted and raped in her room. The cops are involved but so far the kid is denying that he did anything and I think he is winning. I can't decide between beating him with a baseball bat or leaving him alone? Any suggestions. She is a good friend of mine, and no one here is going to influence what I do in the end but I do what the right decision is, and I want to hear what your opinions may be.

  • Can I potentially run Division 1 Track?

    My PR's so far as a junior:

    100m- 11.2

    200m- 23.05

    400m- 51.68

    LongJump- 20'7

    TripleJump- 42'0

    110h- 16.3

    300h- 41.2

    Polevault- 9 Feet(Did it Once)

    I'm not talking like LSU, Florida, Texas

    I was talking schools that may be a bit better academically, but worse athletically because I am certainly a student athlete.

    I was interested in like: UVA, BC, Gtown etc.

    Maybe even Ivy's if I get my grades up a little bit(4.3 Weighted Private School right now)

    I was wondering because I looked at Div 1 NCAA times and it was un-inspiring because the times were way faster than me(low 10's, low 21's, low 48's etc).

  • Can Irun this 400m time on Saturday?

    I am always running in the 52.3 to 53.4 range in the 400m. I end up running a very unevenly split race(like 23 for 200, 30 for last 200). If I go balls to the wall and run a good split race could I go low 51's? I just ran a 52.8 today but I jogged the first 100m. then sprinted the next 200m and died the last 100m. I am a 16 year old sophomore guy. THanks

  • How much muscle can I gain by football season?(click for more details on me)?

    I am 5'11 and I play football, basketball, and run track. I am so skinny, about 130 pounds. My diet is not very good and I do alot of running so I don't expect to gain muscle during the track season. In about 4 months, when I dont run a lot, and I do more short sprints how much muscle can I gain. I have a bad diet at the moment and I don't lift. I am very fast though, 23.2 200m. If I change my diet around and have a good workout routine can I reach 150 pounds by football season? Thanks

  • How long will these marijuana withdrawal symptoms last?

    I am 16 years old and have been a light, daily marijuana user for only about 8 months.

    This is good compared to some much heavier users but still have caused me some symptoms.

    I have insomnia and an upset stomach. I am restless and sometimes angry easily. It is only day 3.

    When I said light, I didnt mean light habitually, but light in amount smoked. I smoked only after homework at night around 11ish. I also only smoked about .2-.3 grams per night, about a bowlpack. 5-7 medium hits. How long will these symptoms last, what can i do to help them subside, and will I be able to concentrate in school this week and do debates? Thanks

  • Does weed really decrease lung capacity by aliot?

    I am a sophomore and I run track and have been smoking weed daily for about 6 months. I specialize in 100-400. I dont smoke alot just about .2-.3 grams a day, just like a bowlpack before i get to bed to wind down. I go through about a gram and a half per week. Would smoking that little amount affect me negatively in races like the 400? or does weed barely affect lung capacity
