Did the Titanic Never Sink?
The Titanic story has been making the headlines for a century now, and much has been written about the ill-fated ship, that hit an iceberg and sunk on its maiden voyage on April 15th, 1912. 1500 people out of 2200 onboard, died in that tragic accident. Being the largest ship at that time, and being called unsinkable, the news of its destruction shocked everyone and made it the subject of much fiction and non-fiction over the following years. Although the events happened when our grandparents and great-grandparents were young, the story still attracts many readers and fascinates everyone. Monuments have been erected for the dead and museums have exhibited artifacts found on the wreck. There is probably no person nowadays, who does not know about the Titanic tragedy.

You know I hate it when I can’t find anything. Well, let me correct myself. I hate it when I am desperately looking for something and it’s the 9th hour and I have procrastinated looking until the last minute. Often it is also when I was too lazy to put things where they belong so that if the need arises in the future, I wouldn't be in the situation I am in right now. What is that you ask? I am about to lose my damned job, well, that is if I don't lose my mind first. Somehow I lost that dark guide. What is that you ask? It is a little black book that contains a lot of valuable information. My boss keeps track of everything in that book. I keep it locked in his office in the safe that looks like a stack of books on the bookshelf and as of 3 hours ago, it was not there.

Joseph D. N. KendrickPublished 6 years ago in Proof 10 Signs You're an Alcoholic
The sun shined the wrong way through your disheveled blinds, waking you from your stupor as you sweat your way through your sheets. Somewhere your alarm clock is going off; you're late for work, and your stomach is churning bile over and over at the bottom of your throat. You're counting the number of times your headache can pound inside your head until you're ready to get out of bed, and you taste blood running from your cracked lips as you pull yourself off your pillow. Swinging your legs off the bed, you try to stabilize yourself on your end table, knocking over beer bottles and soaking your carpet in alcohol. Now the race is on to get to the bathroom before you wretch all over your bedroom, tripping over clothes and empties from the night before. Admittedly, I've done this. It might even be safe to say the majority of people have done this. If you do this every morning though, it may be one of the signs you're an alcoholic.
Ryan WhitakerPublished 6 years ago in Proof10 Signs You're Drinking Too Much Alcohol
Like most adults I like the occasional alcoholic drink, but when does it become too much? Everyone drinks for different reasons—some do it socially, others to relax, and some do it through dependency. The line between acceptable consumption and overdoing it is very easy to cross. Most people fail to recognise if they have crossed that line.
Strange Hangover Cures That Actually Work

We all like to drink (hopefully not too much), and more often than not, hangovers are the result of far too much drinking when a person either hasn't eaten, hydrated enough, or simply lacks responsibility in knowing when to stop. For these reasons, hangovers ensue with the wrath of God behind them. Fortunately, there are a host of ways to remedy your pain, just not all of them are for everyone.
