My cat drinks only running tap water.How can I train her to drink from the bowl?
Q. My cat likes to drink water from the running faucet. But I've NEVER seen her drink from her water bowls (and I have 2 for her - one next to her food bowl and another one in a corner where she likes to hang out). I'm worried that she doesn't drink enough water. Should I be? Can cats get dehydrated? Does anyone know how I could train her to drink from her bowls?

A. Get a Drinkwell water dish. It runs like a faucet. My cats love it! PetsMart carries it. You can also get an extra tank to attach to it. It's really cool.

How to drink energy drinks behind my parents back?
Q. I had a monster a couple times but i got in trouble for drinking it. It is like a drug for me! I need it! Im craving it! My parents wont let me have them so how can i buy them and drink them behind my parents back?

A. There isn't an age limit to buy it like cigarettes and alcohol so go to the store and buy it yourself and if you don't want to get caught by your parent's drink it at school and have your friends buy it...personally I wouldn't recommend hiding this from your parent's. Why not talk to them and see if they would let you have like one a day?

When I drink milk, I get a painful lump in my throat that feels a bit like heartburn. Why?
Q. Whenever I drink milk or eat yogurt or ice cream, I get a painful lump in my throat and esophagus that feels a bit like heartburn. It only happens when I drink milk. The lump hurts and I produce a lot of phlegm. Why does this happen and what can I do to stop it?

A. With the phlegm, it might be a mild allergy reaction.

An alcoholic beverage is a drink containing ethanol, commonly known as alcohol — although in chemistry the definition of alcohol includes many other compounds. Alcoholic beverages are divided into three general classes: beers, wines, and spirits.
