If you guessed alcohol + Skank, then you could have saved taxpayers $918,856...
CNSNews.com presents this week's "Golden Hookah" to the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism for spending $918,856 to fund a five-year study of "Alcohol and Bar Violence."
The NIAAA, a component of the federal National Institutes of Health, wins this week's award for its $918,656 "Alcohol and Bar Violence" grant. This grant funded a study that determined, among other things, that bar fights tend to occur in venues that are relatively dark, dirty, noisy, hot, and crowded and that are frequented by a clientele of younger, less agreeable, less conscientious, more impulsive heavy drinkers--and that women who get in a bar fights have consumed, on average, four times as many drinks as their normal intake.

Yep, the "Pork" spending abounds, $1 Million and 5 years ...................
I'm wondering what political favor this bought .......
I'm waiting for my grant to study why lap dances from strippers are fun.
Just think, I could have done a whole thesis on this and gotten a million dollar grant from the Govt "drunk hookers fighting in a bar(alley) over a customer"
I missed my calling I tell you.

My other idea was just like the original point of the thread. Only my idea included jello.

I want to know the connections between the beneficiaries of the grant and the politicians.
