    FOR MUM AND DAD Among the old men who secretly came to this “house of the sleeping beauties,” there must be some who not only looked wistfully back to the vanished past but sought to forget the evil they had done through their lives … among them must be some who had made their successes by wrongdoing and kept their gains by repeated wrongdoing. They would not be men at peace with themselves. They would be among the defeated, rather—victims of terror. In their hearts as they lay against the flesh of naked young girls put to sleep would be more than fear of approaching death and regret for their lost youth. There might also be remorse, and the turmoil so common in the families of the successful. They would have no Buddha before whom to kneel. The naked girl would know nothing, would not open her eyes, if one of the old men were to hold her tight in his arms, shed cold tears, even sob and wail. The old man need feel no shame, no damage to his pride. The regrets and sadness could flow quite freely. And might not the “sleeping beauty” herself be a Buddha of sorts? And she was flesh and blood. Her young skin and scent might be forgiveness for the sad old men. —YASUNARI KAWABATA, House of the Sleeping Beauties CONTENTS TITLE PAGE DEDICATION EPIGRAPH PROLOGUE: LIFE BEFORE DEATH PART I: LUCIE 1.

  • Drinks with a Boost: Alcoholic Energy Drinks Trends in Alcohol Marketing
    Drinks with a Boost: Alcoholic Energy Drinks Trends in Alcohol Marketing EUCAM report 2008 Content Introduction 3 Dangers of Alcoholic Energy Drinks 3 Marketing of Alcoholic Energy Drinks 4 Protest on Alcoholic Energy Drinks 4 Conclusion 7 References 7 2 Introduction After the raise of energy drinks in the nineties, we can see that mixing alcoholic drinks with energy drinks such as Red Bull are increasingly popular. Alcohol producers actively make use of this trend by launching Alcoholic Energy Drinks on the market from 2003 onwards. A study by the University of Messina for which 500 students were interviewed indicated that 57 % of the Italian students consumed energy drinks; nearly half (48 %) of these reported mixing energy drinks and alcohol; and 36 % had consumed that combination more than three times in the preceding month (1). Critics explain the popularity of these alcoholic energy drinks by the marketing which is believed to be highly appealing to young people (1). Some popular canned energy drinks with alcohol that are currently on the American and European market include Sparks, Tilt, Budweiser Energy Drink, Hyphy Joose. The largest alcohol producers are behind some of these drinks. James Mosher, an attorney with the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation who researches the effects of alcohol marketing campaigns on youngsters, says in an interview with ABC News in April 2007 to expect that more of these alcoholic energy drinks will likely enter the market soon, as other major breweries add their own products to the mix (2). Dangers of Alcoholic Energy Drinks Recent research conducted by the Wake Forest University School of Medicine in May 2007 shows that college students who drink alcohol mixed with so-called “energy” drinks are at dramatically higher risk for injury and other alcohol-related consequences, compared to students who drink alcohol without energy drinks.
