It is when people use alcohol as an escape route for social, personal or career pressures that abuse or alcoholism can result. Abuse of alcohol, or consumption of more alcohol than the body can handle, can lead to liver damage and other debilitating conditions.
About the Quahog. Quahogs are hard-shelled clams found in estuaries along the Atlantic Coast, from Canada to Texas. Their name, quahog, is a variation of poquauhock, (po-qua-hock) the Native American name for this clam.
Ocean quahog clams are well known to live to be very, very old, but itâs not certain why that is. Like other long-lived animals, such as the naked mole rat, the animal has been a subject of much research, in hopes of applying their long-life secrets to humans. The previous Guinness record-holder for oldest clam, before the upstager Ming came along, was a 220-year-old ocean quahog clam pulled from American waters in 1982. A 374-year-old clam, collected in 1968, is also displayed in a German museum, National Geographic reported.
