The research, published in a journal quite literally called Deviant Behaviour, found that some men reported feeling pressure to perform a role stepped in hedonistic enjoyment when they'd presumably have preferred a quiet night at the pub.The two authors of the report studied different stag dos in central Europe, on a Spanish island and in a northern English city. Peer pressure to drink excessively, go to strip clubs and push your body to its extremes in the name of banter all cropped up as shortcomings of the stag experience.Body Slam A DANISH TOURIST GOT BITTEN BY A CROCODILE AFTER HE FELL ON IT He'd been trying to take a photo of the croc and slipped on a water bank

(via)An 18-year-old woman died in Newcastle on Sunday, after she fell ill at a club in the city's Byker area early that morning. She was taken to hospital once police are called at 4.40AM, but died. Police say they believe she may have taken MDMA before she fell ill, and say they've arrested a 19-year-old man in connection with her death."The initial police investigation into this young woman's death indicates that she may have taken some kind of drug and had a fatal reaction to the substance," said a chief inspector. "We believe it may have been MDMA and we need anyone else who was at this nightclub and who may have taken any drugs to go to hospital immediately and get checked out."This tragic news comes at a time when Fabric was forced to close after two people sadly died on the club premises, where the city council hadn't made drug testing available. Currently Secret Garden Party is first festival in the UK to offer drug testing on-site, and a scheme has been piloted offering drug testing kits at Newcastle University.
