How much water should you drink every day? Not as much as you've been told. This summer, like many summers before it, has seen a rash of articles warning us not only that is dehydration is dangerous, but that it is also ubiquitous. Real dehydration, when your body has lost a significant amount of water because of illness, excessive exercise or sweating, or an inability to drink, is a serious issue. But people with clinical dehydration almost always have symptoms of some sort.

Facebook’s UK operations paid only £4,327 in taxes last year, less than the average worker. The small bill was despite the company being able to pay its 362 UK-based employees an average of £210,000 in pay and bonuses.

LARPing, or live-action roleplaying, is a game in which people create characters and act out storylines within fictional worlds, in real time, in costume. We go LARPing and meet Jon Gallagher, a LARPer with Asperger's syndrome, and see how LARPing helps him make friends, learn social skills, get a job, and in many ways, saves his life.

There’s a holy grail in the world of digital cameras. Alongside all the incremental things our cameras could still do better – higher megapixels, enhanced low-light performance, and so on – the one thing that would really transform everyday...

In the arid plains of the southern New Mexico desert, between the site of the first atomic bomb test and the U.S.-Mexico border, a new city is rising from the sand. Planned for a population of 35,000, the city will showcase a modern business district downtown, and neat rows of terraced housing in the suburbs. It will be supplied with pristine streets, parks, malls and a church. But no one will ever call it home.

The New Mexico secretary of state, who oversees campaign finance reporting and once bemoaned a "culture of corruption" in the state, has been accused of using her election fund as a personal piggy bank at jewelry stores, ATMs and casinos.

Sure you can make a great dinner in the slow cooker, but you don't have to stop at that. Try making dessert in your crockpot too. This white chocolate bread pudding will quietly cook away while you do other things

To be clear, it’s not like you can’t find a pint of Sam Adams in this town. In fact, its ubiquity is one of the reasons that finicky barkeeps such as Toste and Lanigan choose not to serve it. As anyone who’s been to Faneuil Hall can tell you, Sam Adams’s Boston Lager is a fixture at the city’s faux Irish pubs, sports bars, and hotel lounges. After all, Koch’s company is America’s number one craft brewery—by a pretty large margin.

The news comes straight from Bloomberg, which reports that in the coming months and years we'll be facing a beans deficit unlike anything we've ever faced. The reasons for this are threefold. First, consumption is rising greatly. Blame the Pumpkin Spice Latte for enticing new coffee drinkers if you must. Second, climate change is affecting the way farmers and growers produce the coffee beans. And finally, decreasing prices are motivating some growers to get out of the business.

When Jessica Elm, a citizen of the Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin, was studying for her master’s degree in social work, she frequently heard about how genes were responsible for the high risk of alcoholism among American Indians. But her own family’s experience — and the research, she discovered — tells a very different story. The "firewater" fairytale that Elm came to know all too well goes like this: Europeans introduced...

America is an exceptional country when it comes to guns. It's one of the few countries in which the right to bear arms is constitutionally protected, and presidential candidates in other nations don't cook bacon with guns. But America's relationship with guns is unique in another crucial way: Among developed nations, the US is far and away the most violent — in large part due to the easy access many Americans have to firearms.

While Jeff Turner's 64-square-foot cottage turns the heads of tiny home enthusiasts everywhere, it was originally built to solve a very inconvenient problem.

In 2003, the renowned, 52-year-old French chef Bernard Loiseau, then one of the most famous chefs in France and an inspiration for the chef Auguste Gusteau in the Pixar film Ratatouille, shot himself in the mouth with a hunting rifle amid speculation that the Michelin restaurant guide was about to pull his restaurant’s third star.
