Bradley Hospital in Providence. And stopping at a bar with colleagues for a postwork drink can make the situation worse; studies show that it takes less alcohol to make people drunk when they are tired...

As long as oil prices make the gamble worthwhile, today's explorers will apparently go to any depths to unleash the next great undersea gusher...
