new year's eve

Ever had a little too much to drink one night and felt horrible in the morning? There are numerous ways to cope with a hangover, some far healthier than others.

With the New Year upon us a LOT of people will be dieting and based on what I've seen the most popular diet fad right now is the Paleo diet. So what is a Paleo diet?

I'm a goal setter and if I'm not careful, I can create a crazy list of goals that are completely unattainable. So this year, I'm making New Year's Resolutions that are actually FUN!

Last week, one of the questions that came in for my Ask Chris column came from someone who was curious about how Batman celebrated New Year's Eve, and really, that's a pretty interesting question. I mean, we have plenty of comics, cartoons and even one goofy-ass movie about how he spends Christmas, but stories that address whether or not he watches the ball drop and toasts a cup of kindness are significantly harder to come by. Fortunately, we have Batman #247, a classic from the Bronze Age that addresses exactly this question. As it turns out, Batman spends his New Year's Eve punching out criminals.

What you are about to see is something that actually happened on live TV on New Year's Eve in LA.  It's the biggest TV train wreck I've ever seen.  It's amazing!

Everyone knows about the ball that drops in New York City's Times Square to mark the start of a new calendar year.

According to the doctors, 'When a champagne cork flies, you really have no time to react and protect your delicate eyes." GAH! Shield yourself with the nearest anything!!!

It's hard to believe 2012 is coming to an end, and we're gearing up for another year of photobombing, pranking and costuming our pets.  We have a feeling 2013 will bring even more hilarity and entertainment, so ringing in the new year is definitely a cause for celebration. This usually involves party hats, tons of noisemakers and a bit of prep, like any sort of holiday.

Every year, Michigan’s Lake Superior State University asks people which words and phrases have been so overused that they should be essentially banished from the English language. The school just released their list for 2012, and it’s certainly stirring up debate.

Have you ever been on vacation and your almost to your hotel room and all you want to do is (in this case, it's New Year's Eve and you just want some booty with the stranger you've brought to your hotel) sleep! I've been there, but what if your hotel key didn't work?  Not so horrible, right?  But what if EVERYONE'S hotel key didn't work and the hotel could do nothing for you because it was a compu

This is bound to be the best news you’ve heard all year — experts say that giving up drinking for the month of January to detox from holiday binges is a bad idea.

Happy New Year!  OK now that I got that out, it's time to start the dreaded road to your resolution. We've all made this mistake.  For example:  Working out for 60 minutes a day sounded easy after you finished off that bottle of Patron.  What you didn't take i ...
