It’s a proven medical fact that after a few drinks inhibitions become lower.

People become more willing to ask questions, stupid or otherwise.

Sometimes these questions have to do with oddities of the body or random medical queries.

Unfortunately, most students do not have a doctor attending their parties to answer these questions.

Luckily for these young people, they can now go to “Why Do Men Have Nipples? Hundreds of Questions You’d Only Ask a Doctor After Your Third Martini,” by Mark Leyner and Billy Goldberg, a book that succeeds on multiple levels.

This entertaining collaboration has, as the title states, hundreds of questions that people have asked Goldberg, a doctor, at parties and the answers to these questions. That’s not all, though.

In an effort to make the book even more entertaining, the two authors also interject humorous conversations they had while writing the book or lists compiled relating to a question.

After the question “Why is it bad to insert cotton swabs in your ears?” appears a list of other things you aren’t supposed to do but cannot resist – including touching a hot plate, picking scabs and eating your own young.

This is only one example in the book that makes evident how much the writers enjoyed working together.

Leyner and Goldberg met as a writer and consultant for a now defunct medical series, and the relationship has continued from there.

The two really seem to have enjoyed collaborating on this book with one another, and the result of this good relationship is a text that is very light-hearted and easy to read.

Although the book does seek to answer a variety of questions that a doctor might be asked, the reader isn’t required to have the knowledge of a medical textbook in order to understand the answers.

Most of the answers have some technical medical jargon, followed by a layman’s explanation, and occasionally this answer will be followed by a list of fun facts or extras.

The list of synonyms for “vomit” is not necessary after the question “Why do you throw up when you drink too much?” but does make reading the answer even more enjoyable.

This is not the only drinking knowledge the book covers.

Groupings of questions include inquiries about sex, food, body oddities and aging.

These separate sections make up the book’s chapters, and a table of contents is found at the beginning of the book in order to aid readers in finding a specific question within a chapter.

This makes it much easier for someone trying to quickly find the answer to “Why do people seem more attractive to you when you are drunk?”

Reading goes very quickly with this book. Although the subject matter is not particularly deep, it is presented in an engaging manner that draws the reader in, keeping one entertained while educating.

There are many quotable moments in the reading, and the authors make an effort to stay in tune with readers of all ages.

Although some sections are clearly aimed at a younger generation, many of the questions are timeless, like the answer to why one gets a headache after eating ice cream too quickly.

Almost every reader will feel as though he or she has learned something, even if its trivial.

Sure, you don’t really need to know if it’s possible to lose a contact in your eye forever, but it probably makes you feel a little better to know the answer.

So go ahead and pick up this book. The doctor who you drunk-dialed last week will thank you for it.
