This is one completely bonkers idea that we could TOTALLY get behind!

The super-villain behind this abomination of vice combinations is a place called Delightful Pastries — which seems innocent enough.

Behind closed doors, however, they're working tirelessly to bring us the most mind-blowingly decadent food they can think of… including the booze-filled donut!

Ahh, the dreaded hangover. While most aren't as severe as the one that made Bradley Cooper a star, they all still pretty much suck.

Thanks to a slew of upcoming holiday parties, a FitPerez reader is anticipating the worst, but is hoping there are ways to ease the pain.

Not drinking too much is the obvious solution, although Margaux J. Rathbun has some other natural ideas that will answer this reader's question:

Margaux, during the holiday season I go to a lot of parties and drink wine, hard alcohol, and champagne. Tis the season, right? The problem is that I get wicked hangovers the next day. What can I do to make sure my hangovers aren't terrible? Any nutrition tips?

According to Margaux:

In case you have a little “too much” fun one of these nights, there are some ways you can relieve your hangover using nutrition. First of all, be sure that you are staying hydrated with plenty of water, before, during, and after your drinking. You can also try some herbal teas to help settle your stomach, such as ginger and chamomile tea.

Be sure to eat plenty of “hangover healing” foods rich in vitamins (especially B vitamins) and minerals. Apples, bananas, limes, lemons, leafy greens, and whole grains are good choices. Some herbs that can help your hangover include evening primrose oil, cumin, and slippery elm bark. While you are drinking, choose light colored drinks. Drinks that are dark in color tend to have more chemicals that form during fermentation, causing the blood vessels to dilate and produce awful headaches.

Nothing like celebrating a failed marriage with redesigning your Minnesota bachelor pad, right guys??

Kris Humphries seems like he's no longer shaken up about his impending divorce, and we can't help but feel like things like this just continue to confirm that the marriage wasn't ever for the right reasons. But then we think about it again, and ask ourselves, "If it takes a while to get over a failed marriage that lasted twenty years, would it really take that long to get over one that lasted 72 days?"

Our answer is no, probably not.

Yuck! This makes us think TWICE about playing beer pong again!

In a recent episode of Life Changers, Dr. Drew is concerned that two twin sisters enjoy drinking alcohol much more than they should.

To prove that there are serious physical dangers of alcoholism, he showed the girls a normal liver and a liver that has suffered cirrhosis, the final phase of chronic liver disease.

We don't want to spoil it for you, but it ain't pretty!

Check out the video above to learn about just one of the dangers of drinking too much alcohol.

But beer and liquor doesn't do shiz! Sorry, dudes!

A study analyzing the relationship between diet and bone density has found that moderate amounts of wine, such as a glass a day, can reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

Researchers came to the conclusion after studying over 1,000 pairs of British female twins in their mid-fifties, explaining:

"Moderate intakes of alcohol from wine were associated with a higher bone mineral density and the consumption of a traditional 20th-century English diet was linked with a lower bone density."

The typical "English diet" included fish and chips, baked beans, meat pies and cooked meats. Surprisingly, the researchers didn't find much evidence that our bones benefit from a diet high in fruit and vegetables either.

Although it wasn't clear how or why wine builds bone strength, previous research suggests it may be due to chemicals, called polyphenols, found in the skin of grapes.
