Drinking alcohol every day cuts the risk of heart disease in men by more than a third, a major study suggests.

The Spanish research involving more than 15,500 men and 26,000 women found large quantities of alcohol could be even more beneficial for men.

Female drinkers did not benefit to the same extent, the study in Heart found.

Experts are critical, warning heavy drinking can increase the risk of other diseases, with alcohol responsible for 1.8 million deaths globally per year. Read the full story

Houston’s first club for everyone (especially dancers). No bouncers will mess with you, and drinks are insanely cheap! $1 beer, $3 you call it!! Bottle prices are also cheap! Club Thursdaze is a place for everyone to enjoy.

Are you bored of the same stuff you see at every club? Well we will give you something never seen before! From hot go-go dancers to hot crews, we are simply the hottest in the city!

If you want your crew to perform, no pre-registration is needed. Simply bring a CD with a single mix on it, and get in contact with Sway during the event to let him know you, and or crew, want to perform.

Music will be given to the DJ and your crew has the stage to show Houston what you’ve got! (Keep in mind everything is being recorded so bring your best)

If you’re a singer, or upcoming artist, you can perform as well. (You will need to call Sway in advance to hear your music.) If chosen, you will have a live show during event night every Thursday!
