Where Does the Phrase “Going Cold Turkey” Come From?
Question by Smile!: Where does the phrase “going cold turkey” come from?
Best answer:
Answer by Monty
“”Cold turkey” is an expression describing the actions of a person who gives up a habit or addiction all at once. That is, rather than gradually easing the process through reduction or by using replacement medication. Its supposed advantage is that by not actively using supplemental methods, the person avoids thinking about the habit and its temptation, and avoids further feeding the chemical addiction. The supposed disadvantages related to the abuse of drugs such as alcohol, benzodiazepines, and heroin are unbearable withdrawal symptoms from the total absence, which may cause tremendous stress on the heart and blood vessels and — in a worst case scenario — possible stroke or heart failure.
Do Celebrities Take Drugs to Be Relaxed While Performing?
Question by euphoric(k): Do celebrities take drugs to be relaxed while performing?
Well I always just figured they were good at performing and use to it, but then I was reading this thing about how many people who perform use beta blockers like inderal or peroponolol.. or something like that, which rids themselves of nervousness and helps them to remain calm so they can perform well.
But.. I don’t know, how factual the article thing was, is that true though?
Or do you think that they are just really good at performing

Would It Be a Good Business to Set Up a Center Where Obese People Can Stay and Lose Weight?
Question by Caren: Would it be a good business to set up a center where obese people can stay and lose weight?
There must not be any of those. I’m watching a show called my life over 600 pounds,, and these people go through surgery,, (the learning channel at night)
it would be better if at least they could go to a center that limits food and requires individual excersise.
before the surgery,,, they are at home, with family giving them fattening food.
