A nice, crisp, refreshing beer may seem ideal on a hot summer day – or any day – and many people would agree that this brew is delicious. The most popular alcoholic beverage in the world is beer – believed to be the oldest too – and ranks third to water and tea as the most consumed beverage. It also takes the top spot in the United States, and even though Americans’ beer consumption has declined over the past 20 years as wine and cocktails have gained popularity, beer remains the top alcoholic drink in the U.S. where over 6.5 billion gallons was consumed in 2023.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie who is looking for her forever home. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

Thick and syrup-y margarita mixes are the last thing we want in our glasses this summer, but many people who are unfamiliar with crafting tequila beverages default to these because they are unsure where else to start.
