Aftershave: smells good, tastes bad

Filed under: Fragrance, Beauty, News, Makeup

Russian men like to drink vodka -- or at least I thought they did.

British researchers revealed that nearly half of Russia's deaths among working age men are due to dangerous drinking habits. But it's not vodka they're indulging in -- it's aftershave. Oddly enough, these drinking-related deaths aren't due to toxic chemicals, but are, in fact, due to the extremely high alcohol content (97%).

The study found that men who drank heavily or who drank this non-beverage alcohol, were six times more likely to die than similar men who did not drink at all or did so in moderation. And for those drinking non-beverage alcohol -- not vodka -- the risk was even higher -- 9 times higher to be specific.

My guess is that this trend won't catch on in stateside anytime soon. I can't imagine Eau du Derek Jeter takes very good.
