1) Summary: Why can't baseball players stop spitting?Name: Tanner Garrity InsideHook
Category: Lifestyle and FitnessEmail: query-b2c9@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: InsideHook
Deadline: 4:00 AM EST - 27 July
Query:
Certain MLB players have vowed to continue spitting during this
season, despite new COVID-related regulations from the league.
What psychological factors are at play here? Do ballplayers have
any medical justification to keep spitting? Or is their spitting
simply habitual? (Obviously sunflower seeds, gum, etc plays a
role.) Meanwhile, are there any athletes (in sports with far
more running, perhaps?) for whom spitting is physically
essential? Like runners, or soccer players. If so, what do we
make of players who run quite a bit inside (basketball players,
for instance) who can't and therefore will not spit?
Requirements:
Sports psychologists, medical experts, respiratory doctors,
coaches

Query:
I live in New Orleans, a famously drunk locale. We also have
tattoo studios everywhere. I, personally, have never gotten a
drunk tattoo, but I have seen many other folks stumbling into
tattoo parlors. Is this okay?
Here are my questions: 1. Is it okay to drink before getting a
tattoo? If so, how much? 2. I heard that alcohol thins your
blood and that you might bleed more if you get a tattoo if you
have been drinking. This makes sense, but also, how serious is
this? 3. Honestly, to me getting a drunk tattoo seems like a bad
idea because most folx don't make very good decisions when
they're drunk and a tattoo is a really long term decision to
make poorly. Even if it's not bad, health-wise, it just seems
un-wise. Thoughts on this? 4. Could getting a tattoo drunk
impact healing time? 5. What else do people need to know? 6.
What is your name, specialty, location, pronoun, and any
academic affiliation.
PLEASE RESPOND DIRECTLY TO THIS POST. PR folx, I love you, but
please do not add me to your mailing lists. Thanks!
