The holiday season often includes extra helpings of entrees, desserts, and drinks. Learn about the good, the bad, and the ugly of overeating and drinking. This presentation will discuss binging/abuse, escalation towards addiction, and brain mechanisms that may be major contributors to these behaviors. 

If clear, the telescopes will be open. See a first-quarter moon, double stars, the Pleiades star cluster and the Orion Nebula!
