cane vs beet sugar
I heard once that there is a difference in which you use, particularly for caramelizing. Is there?
...But I personally have never noticed a difference.
re: katecm
Nope...at least that's not my experience...
or the experience of other baking pros with whom I've discussed this.
I regularly make creme brulee and caramel. Beet sugar will burn in a brulee, cane sugar will caramelize. Caramel made with beet sugar will crystallize and never form caramel -- cane sugar works brilliantly. Boiled icing is a mess made with beet sugar. I'm a C&H cane sugar girl all the way. The SFGate article Egg mentions above is a good article. If the package of sugar doesn't say cane,
it's beet.
I find that 100% cane is best for pulled sugar work, either kind works well for caramel and, frosting and candies.
For starters, I simply don't like beet sugar. I swear I can taste a difference. But I've also had bad results with beet sugar in icings and candy. As a result I only buy cane sugar, almost always C&H. For the record, I don't think I've ever seen a confectioner's sugar made from beets. That should say something, even if it's only that I'm blind. But I don't think so.
re: Caroline1
do European chefs have the same preference for cane sugar? It's my impression that beet sugar is more common there, with countries like France and Germany being big producers.
re: paulj
I don't know the answer to your question, but I would guess not. Beet sugar is very unreliable for confectionary work, and I don't think that has anything to do with what continent you''re on when you use it. '-)
As far as I know, beet sugar got an impetus during the U.S. food rationing program of World War II. At that time, most U.S. sugar was grown in Hawaii, and the use of fuel for shipping to the mainland was severely limited as part of the war effort. I don't think there was enough Caribbean sugar cane available at the time, but I'm not sure of this. Anyway, home grown beet sugar became the patriotic thing to use. In Oregon, there was even a program that brought Japanese AMERICANS out of those stupid internmnet camps to work in the sugar beet fields. Don't know which was worse: You can stay locked up, or you can break your back working in the beet fields.
re: Caroline1
Its impetus in the USA might date from then, but its start in Europe dates from the Napoleonic wars when England cut the Continent off from sugar from the West Indies. Ever since then sugar beet growers have benefited from import quotas.
Does the French 'bible' (LG) have anything to say about sugar from different sources? LaVarenne Pratique says there's no difference in taste and cooking properties.
re: paulj
The gist of what Larousse Gastronomique says about beet sugar is that a German chemist names Marggraf, discovered sugar in beet juice in 1747. One of his followers, a French refugee names Achard, set up an experiemental factor but basically went broke, then started up again in France at the instigation of Napoleon, in response to the Continental Blockade. From that time it grew into a "big industry."
LG gives a lot of information about saturated sugar solutions, the stages it goes through during boiling (soft thread, large thread, small ball, large ball, small crack, hard crack, caramel), as well as the degree of saturation that can be attained at different temperatures.
It does say that originally there was a lot of backlash against beet sugar in Europe, with claims it doesn't taste good, isn't as sweet as cane sugar, and other complains (though not working in candy making isn't menitioned) until a fellow named Chaptal showed by "irrefutable experment" that beet sugar and cane sugar are identical. After that, beet sugar was accepted and "today" (1960's) is "almost" as big a source for sugar as cane. No mention of beet sugar acceptance or rejection by the general public in the New World.
At the personal experience level, I did believe I percieved in a difference in taste and function between beet and cane sugar some forty or so years ago. But I can't remember the last time I saw anything labeled "beet sugar," so rather than give it another try, I'll just stay with the easily found C&H cane sugar...
re: Caroline1
Beet sugar is never labeled as such in the US. If you're buying sugar that isn't labeled cane sugar, then you must assume that there is a fair to sure possibility that what you are buying contains at least a percentage of beet sugar.
re: Caitlin McGrath
Thanks, Caitlin. I can't remember a time when I didn't exclusively buy and use C&H Cane Sugar. My mother did the same. But I did have beet sugar at someone's house when I was a kid... No idea whose, just that beet sugar was presented with pride, and I thought it tasted strange. That was a very very long time ago, and I have to assume that refining processes have changed a great deal. On the other hand, if I haven't tasted beet sugar since that long ago occasion, why should I leap to such a shaky conclusion? Maybe the power of my expectations made it taste strange? '-)
re: Caitlin McGrath
"Beet sugar is never labeled as such in the US."
Perhaps not "labeled as such" on the FRONT of the package, but I have a 10 pound bag of 'Great Value' brand sugar which lists on a side panel: "Ingredients: Beet Sugar."
ETA: I'm in the PNW/USA...daughters ex room mate did a lot of baking and left behind several packages of various sugars. Evidently roomie couldn't recall whether or not she had enough of a particular sugar on hand, so bought more.
re: Caitlin McGrath
At least here in Michigan, beet sugar is often labeled as specifically beet sugar, with a little picture of a beet. And this is for store brands, like Meijer's, WalMart, etc. Certain locally produced brands produced by the Michigan Sugar Growers Coop aren't labeled per se, buts its pretty obvious.
re: Caroline1
my dad worked on a beet sugar farm in nebraska before entering service during ww2.
when losses decimated volunteer japanese american units in europe men were drafted out of camps as replacements. units were segregated then.
my brothers fil makes chocolate commercially and insists on c&h cane sugar.
i just got some brown sugar on sale not my usual c&h. it has a very strong smell though i haven't tried it yet.
re: Caroline1
You can find confectioners sugar made from beet sugar in the US. One particular company, Big Chief, here in Michigan makes it with wheat starch instead the typical corn starch. I can find it occasionally under their own name brand, but most often they pack it for others as the store brand. I stock up whenever I can, since I'm allergic to corn/corn starch, and I don't want to pay the ridiculously $$$ amount for confectioners sugar made with tapioca starch...$4/lb+shipping or $1.25 for a 2 lb bag locally, which reminds me, I need to buy some more when I go shopping this afternoon.
I'll try to dig up some threads on this for you - there has been some discussion of this and I remember Candy weighing in - particularly about baking w/ one vs. the other.
Edit - http://www.chowhound.com/topics/445574
i live in ND, where sugar beet is grown by the ton. there is chemically no difference between the two sources, they just come from different plants, just like fructose is found in many fruits and lactose is found in different animals (and human) milk. There can be slight variations in the way the sugar is extracted and processed that can affect the taste/quality. Moisture levels at harvest for either can differ, making a slight difference. most people would never notice this as it's so very slight.
however, since cane sugar isn't grown as extensively in the US cane sugar growers like to hype their product as being somehow better such as "grown in soft tropical breezes" ...yeah, like in TEXAS??? not so tropical. they also attack lower quality brands of beet sugar for their flaws, ignoring there are many low quality cane brands. one i heard was that beet sugar can't be really brown sugar, it's just sprayed with dye. any kind of brown sugar is white sugar mixed with molasses, which both plants produce. in fact, to get molasses from cane sugar it has to be further refined, extracting it from the less refined and quite untastey, bitter sludge called sorghum. if this process isn't done perfectly, the molasses can be impure.
either sugars can be made into powdered sugar, or super fine, etc. it's only a matter of grinding. you can make your own powdered or super fine at home using a coffee grinder, food processor or mortar and pestle.....if you make it at home you can avoid the anti caking additives store bought powdered sugar has in it.
also, there's no requirement to state what source the sugar comes from. some may be either or if they're a generic brand. generally it's name brand cane sugars that like to draw your attention and wallet to "PURE CANE SUGAR"
also, just fyi...cane sugar grown in many tropical places, since it's such a "superior above ground crop" are subject to the attentions of many pests, including a venomous cane toad....the cane workers in lower tech growing areas love those...and the burning of the cane they have to sometimes do if there's a boom in the toad population, just so they can run them out and go back to cutting the then burned cane and taking it to be processed without getting bitten. ...or they just poison them. beets are safe underground until the mid to late fall when the temps get colder, as the sugar content improves in colder conditions, making us northern states and countries ideal growing areas. we have plenty of cold to go around. ...plus the left over plant matter from the sugar beets is used as a wonderful and highly prized cattle feed. nutritious and delicious, too! so every part is used in the beets. how nice! even better, no cane toads! :)
re: kota
There are slight but important chemical differences between beet and cane sugar, and these differences are responsible for the differences in the way beet and cane sugar behave in cooking and baking.
Most notably, beet sugar will not caramelize; it burns instead.
The molecular differences are in the carbon atoms of the molecule: C4, C3 differences, and in the ratio between the 13c and 12c isotopes. These differences are slight, but enough to cause differences in the way the two sugars react chemically in recipes. The lack of caramelization and beet sugar's tendency to crystallilze when making buttercream frosting (among other examples) are described in the San Francisco Chronicle story linked to above. They look similar when ground, of course -- therein lies the rub.
re: maria lorraine
Can you point us to more in depth discussion of how isotopic differences affect chemical processes like this. I know that isotopic differences affect physical processes like evaporation and condensation, and the flow of gases. But I thought isotopes behaved the same in (most) chemical processes, since those are controlled by the electron, not the weight of the nucleus.
Even where isotopes affect physical processes, the differences are so small that it requires sensitive equipment to detect or utilize them.
re: paulj
Here's are two science links that talk about the chemical differences between
cane sugar and beet sugar:
re: maria lorraine
"In terms of chemistry, biochemistry, human nutrition and health,
there is no difference between cane and beet sugars once they have
been purified to the colorless crystalline materials we recognize
as granulated or caster sugar."
Food: the chemistry of its components By Tom P. Coultate
It goes on to say that mass spectroscopy can be used to distinguish
between the two sugars via the isotopes, and this can be used for
regulatory purposes. But why would expensive mass spectroscopy be
needed if the carmelization properties were vastly different?
The differences are isotopic, not chemical.
re: paulj
There are profound differences in chemical *reactions* when cane sugar vs. beet sugar is used. What causes the differences? Help me find out. I don't
have the answers and am curious.
Are they due to the plants being entirely different species -- sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) vs. sugar beets (Beta vulgaris)?
What makes beet sugar blacken and burn rather than turn brown and caramelize like cane sugar does?
Are these differences in chemical reactions due to isotopic or molecular differences, or differences in trace minerals between the two sugars?
Why does cane sugar have a lower melting point?
Why does beet sugar tend to come out of solution and crystallize or get grainy?
As nearly every professional baker know, the differences in results between the two sugars are obvious. If you can provide some help in finding the answers, I'd be most grateful.
re: maria lorraine
The informed opinion in this eGullet thread is that differences between the sugars are due to refining details, most notably crystal size.
As best I can tell, all claims of a real difference between the sugars trace back to that 1999 SFGate article.
re: paulj
Paul, I edited my post above.
I don't believe the eGullet posters in your linked thread, except for the poster who contributed the processing link and the hard candy maker, are informed on the latest-known differences between the two sugars.
I've encountered several executive food technologists at major manufacturing companies who insist on cane sugar on the production line because of the problems listed above with beet sugar.
So far I have not come across the answer to why the two sugars behave vastly different in recipes -- there has to be a physical explanation. Any home cook attempting to make buttercream frosting with beet sugar or who has tried to caramelize beet sugar, knows beet sugar does not work for these techniques. Again, the question is why.

These are really tasty little snack bars - contain only a few ingredients, all of which are healthy, and much better for you than the granola/energy/diet bars out there. They're very filling, too...great for eating between meals to keep hunger in check. Also good as a dessert option. They're soft, so they crumble easily when you bite into them, but that's part of the enjoyment of eating them!

Moon, directed by British advert tyro Duncan Jones, is a modest science-fiction film with major aspirations. Jones' debut is pleased to engage genre behemoths — 2001, Solaris, Blade Runner— as well as B-movie classics like Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
The tale of a lonely spaceman might have made an excellent Twilight Zone episode, but Moon's premise is even more suggestive of a song by Jones' father, David Bowie, whose 1969 hit "Space Oddity" took a depressed astronaut as its protagonist. Occupying an even more obscure corner of the cosmos, Sam Bell (a hirsute Sam Rockwell) is introduced running laps on his lunar-station treadmill. Like its lone inhabitant, this mining base seems a bit seedy — in fact, it's little more than a slag heap. Bell, alone save for his chaperone, Gerty, an ungainly robotic valet with the soothing voice of Kevin Spacey and a smiley face on its TV monitor, has been there for nearly three years and, having almost fulfilled his contract, desperately wants out.
Night is eternal and the sense of isolation palpable. Not only is the base a dump but Gerty is a greatly diminished version of HAL, despite a repertoire of a half-dozen expressions including tearful empathy. Even the tantalizing video messages Bell receives from his wife and daughter back in suburban Connecticut seem designed to exacerbate his alienation. The movie is a virtual solo for Rockwell, whose shambolic Everyman is already prone to hallucination and perilously close to a nervous breakdown when he totals his lunar Land Rover while out on a repair mission.
Bell wakes up in the infirmary and, motivated by an obscure urge to investigate, tricks solicitous Gerty into allowing him back outside. Revisiting the scene of the accident, he finds another guy in the crashed vehicle: him. At this point, Rockwell's one-man show turns into a doppelgänger act. Bell's attempts to engage his other, battered self are greeted with sullen animosity. The clone refuses to shake hands — accusing Bell of being a hallucination or worse — although the doubles do eventually play a hostile game of Ping-Pong and engage in other forms of competitive weirdness, notably a dance set to the manic '80s pop song "Walking on Sunshine." The vaudeville is complicated by intimations of conspiracy as well as madness.
Referring to the mining company that employs them, one Bell complains that "they haven't even fixed the fucking communication satellite!" That's more or less the problem. Like its protagonist, Moon feels stuck. The situation is naturally oppressive — this is, after all, the story of a man in prison — and the stir-craziness proves contagious. Impressively pulled together on a modest budget, Moon has a strong lead and a valid philosophical premise, but despite Bell's fissured psyche, the drama is inert. Ground control to Major Tom: Moon orbits an idea, but it doesn't go anywhere.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- At every Brad Paisley show you'll see three things: boots, hats, and blue jeans.
Also at almost every show, his biggest fan.
"You get to a point where you say, 'wow, this did happen right? It did happen,'" said Doug Paisley, Brad's father.
It has been an adventure for Brad and Doug, one that began long before the sold out concerts and cross country tours.
For 37 years, Doug worked on the highways of the mountain state for the Department of Transportation.
"I started out in the right of way division, and then I was the right of way administrator," said Doug.
However, five years ago, he traded one country road for another, hoping on the bus with his son for good.
"It wasn't an easy decision, but it was made easier by the grandkids," said Doug.
Doug calls it retirement, but with his hours, sometimes working 8 a.m. to midnight, it's nowhere near it.
With the jack of all trades title, Doug helps out where he can, but the real earnings come off-stage.
"We've gone to go-kart tracks at 12 midnight and raced for a couple hours," said Doug.
Dven Brad agrees, there's never a dull moment.
"We've gone through many levels," said Brad, "levels of, you know, he can do no wrong, he can do no right, back to no wrong."
"Definitely the word is blessed," said Doug.
While it's a long ways from home and the state fairs brad started out playing at, it's part of a bigger journey; one made mile after mile, together.
"It's very satisfying to be able to see that and for me, to be a part of it," said Doug.

A federal appeals court has reinstated a lawsuit alleging that a Kansas social worker's inaction led to the beating death of a 23-month-old girl.
The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver Wednesday reversed a ruling by a Kansas court throwing out the lawsuit against Linda Gillen. She no longer works for the Kansas social services agency but the state is defending her in court.
The maternal grandparents of Brooklyn Coons of Coffeyville allege in the lawsuit that Gillen intentionally ignored their complaints about their granddaughter's care. The girl was beaten to death in January 2008. Her father's girlfriend, Melissa Wells, was convicted of murdering the girl.
The appeals court said the remaining issue is whether Gillen intentionally failed to act on the grandparents' complaints.

Election Day 2014 is 17 months away, but if I were in charge of U.S. Sen. Kay Hagans reelection campaign, Id be losing sleep already.
Of the 35 Senate seats on the ballot next year, Hagan, a Democrat, is probably the third most vulnerable incumbent. She rode into office in 2008 on Barack Obamas coattails and the most fired-up Democratic base North Carolina had seen in decades. Republicans have dominated here ever since, taking the legislature in 2010 and backing Republicans Pat McCrory and Mitt Romney last year.
As Republicans calculate how to pick up the six seats they need to seize control of the Senate, every scenario hinges on taking Hagans. That means the Republican nominee can expect to benefit from millions of dollars of outside spending.
The GOP has reason to be optimistic. A poll this month by the Civitas Institute showed Hagan trailing 44-42 to a generic Republican.
But thats the question: Will the party nominate a generic Republican? Their failure to do so could be Hagans biggest hope.
Principle over politics, still?
Republicans lately have shown a knack for seizing defeat from the jaws of victory. In 2010, they nominated tea party favorites such as Christine ODonnell in Delaware and Sharron Angle in Nevada over establishment candidates. In 2012, they backed Richard Mourdock over longtime Sen. Richard Lugar in Indiana and Todd Akin to take on Claire McCaskill in Missouri. All four lost to Democrats in the general election. Tea party candidates did win some seats in recent years, but not in swing states like those.
That should be a warning for N.C. Republicans. There are few states more purple than North Carolina. Obamas 14,000-vote victory over John McCain here was the countrys closest, and Romneys narrow defeat of Obama last year made North Carolina the nations third-closest race. The states fastest-growing group in voter registration? Not Democrats, not Republicans. Independents.
Nominate a serious-minded centrist, and Republicans could have Hagan on the ropes. Nominate a Richard Mourdock type, and hear the champagne corks popping in the Hagan camp.
Surely Republicans realize this. No?
Part of being a tea party candidate, its principle over politics, said Jennifer Duffy, who analyzes Senate races for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. Theyd rather stick to their principles and lose than compromise and win. Im wondering what its going to take to get past that and start capitalizing on winnable seats.
Karl Rove, George W. Bushs strategist, was in Charlotte Saturday night for the N.C. Republican Party convention. After Republicans disappointing performance last fall, Rove said the party needed to nominate more moderates, and the Republican National Committee concluded the party needed to broaden its message. Bob Dole said last month that he doesnt think he, Richard Nixon or Ronald Reagan could be successful in todays Republican Party.
The reaction from the most vocal conservatives to all that was predictably negative. But the party ignores that advice, at least in centrist North Carolina, at its own peril.
A fresh chance to define themselves
The Republican primary is May 6, 2014, and the field is still taking shape. House Speaker Thom Tillis of Mecklenburg County is in. So is tea partier Greg Brannon, a Cary obstetrician. Among those said to be considering a run: U.S. Reps. Renee Ellmers and Virginia Foxx; Baptist minister Mark Harris of Charlotte; Raleigh businessman Jim Cain; and state Senate leader Phil Berger.
Not one is well-known by most voters. That gives them a fresh chance to define themselves, or for Hagan to define them first. My guess is theyre currently judging how far right they want to veer for the primary and whether tacking back toward the center for the general election is shrewd or selling out.
Longtime Republican strategist Jack Hawke thinks the nominee will have to appeal to the middle to win. But hes not sure positions on issues matter most. He recalls Tom Ellis, another Republican strategist, saying most campaigns are determined by who has the most teeth and the most hair.
And, Hawke would add, who is most likable. Hawke advised McCrory last year, and said opponents wanted McCrory to lose his temper in public. Id walk him to the podium, whispering in his ear, Put a smile on your face, relax your body language, be happy, dont let em get to you. So thats part of it.
Teeth, hair and a likable personality. But first, a moderate view of the world.

Chris Baker joined the Lucky Gunner team in 2011 and, among other things, serves as the editor of Lucky Gunner Lounge. If it's on the blog, Chris either made it or gave it his stamp of approval. Unless you hate it, in which case, some irresponsible intern probably published it when Chris wasn't looking. As a defensive handgun and concealed carry instructor, sometime action pistol and 3-gun competitor, and occasional hunter, Chris' interest in firearms and shooting spans a broad range of topics. Some might call him a jack of all trades of firearms knowledge, although his colleagues have repeatedly chosen to ignore his preference for the title "tactical beard of all trades".

We thought this was a pretty interesting study about status.
A new survey compared the top status symbols from the '80s to the top status symbols today. Interestingly enough, only one thing was the same: Sending your kids to private school.
Here are the top 10 status symbols today…
1. A fancy car.
2. A designer watch.
3. A swimming pool.
4. Flying first class.
5. Owning a second home.
6. Having a tennis court.
7. Sending your kids to private school.
8. Having a vacation home.
9. A home with electric front gates.
10. A nanny.
Here are the top 10 status symbols from the '80s...this will crack you up as some are just things we all have now…
1. A car phone.
2. A dishwasher.
3. Sending your kids to private school.
4. Having two cars.
5. Going overseas for a vacation.
6. Having a sunroom.
7. Owning a horse.
8. A color TV.
9. Diamond jewelry.
10. Having a cordless phone.
Here is yet another example of why The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon rules…this blows me away that he and his crew were able to edit this up as well as they did. Check it out…Brian Williams edited so that he is singing Snoop Dogg!

If you're a Simple customer, then you probably already know that the company has been making major changes to its service as of late (and if you don't, you should probably start paying more attention to your bank). While the majority of that has been behind-the-scenes, today's app update is a very forward-facing change. Simple v2.0 is now available for both iOS and Android, which brings a complete revamp of the app to both platforms.
Earlier this summer word got out that Mozilla was working on a media streaming stick of its own that's intended to be a more open option than Google's Chromecast. The device would allow anyone to cast to it, regardless of their platform or the content they're hoping to cast. Yet even with these big plans, the organization has still taken the time to bake Chromecast support into Firefox, starting with the nightly builds.
Developer Klinker Apps, the folks behind the Talon Twitter client and the EvolveSMS messaging app, have just released Blur, a free launcher replacement that takes the approach introduced by the Google Now Launcher and opens it up to other apps. With Blur, any app that adds on support for the launcher can have its own dedicated page that rests right on a person's homescreen. In practice, this means users can swipe to the left to access their Twitter feed, text messages, a basic calculator, or a dedicated Google Now page that the Klinker brothers MacGyvered to imitate the GNL.
In a world where Facebook has become so ubiquitous that even hating on Facebook has in and of itself become a tired cultural phenomena, talking about Facebook at all anymore is sort of like lamenting the quality of food at McDonalds - it's there whether you like it or not, so it's probably best to just not say anything at all.
Still, Facebook, like McDonalds, is a part of the daily lives of a great many tens of millions of people (McDonalds claims nearly 70 million), and has seemingly become a requisite cog in the increasingly connected machine that is human existence.
Far be it from me to tell you what to do with your hard-earned money, assuming of course that you worked hard to earn it. If not, please disregard and just do what I say. For everyone else, consider this—you can spend your money on nothing and just have money, or you can exchange it for goods and services at a lower than usual cost. In this case, you get apps.
A lot of phones have a method of opening the camera quickly when the device is asleep, but not all of them are reliable or all that easy. Snapshot aims to make camera access quicker by starting it up as soon as the phone wakes up, provided the device is in landscape orientation (i.e. the way you're supposed to be taking pictures). It doesn't matter how your phone wakes up—it just so long as it does.
LG would like to remind you that the G3's Quick Circle case is definitely not copying the S View case. I mean, look—no corners. As we all know circles are totally in right now, and you can get a bit more functionality out of the Quick Circle case for the G3 with Quick Circle Apps.
One of the weaknesses of the LG built-in functionality is that you need to use the stock apps, but Quick Circle Apps gives you a little more freedom.

And now, one of these sources is Android Police. That's right, you can find our extensive Android coverage right within Drippler and in a format that is both mobile-friendly and Play Store-friendly.
Regardless of whether you use Amazon's app store for Android, there's no denying that a free app every day is a good deal. Of course, sometimes the deals are better than usual. Today's free app of the day is Servers Ultimate Pro, which is normally $8.99.
For those not acquainted with the app, it allows users to run servers from their mobile device, with over 70 protocols supported (see the full list in the app's description), and a heaping handful of network tools.
Time flies. Summer is almost over and the new school year is upon us. While you may have spent your last months indulging in our 5 entertainment and boredom-curing apps, it's time to fire up your neurons again and use the video medium for more than gushing and awing at the latest cute kitties. Whether you're going back to school, university, or you graduated a long time ago but are still interested in learning new skills, the following selection of apps should provide you with enough grey matter-moulding content to last you years.

Irish actor Gabriel Byrne has revealed that miniskirts led him away from the priesthood.
Byrne - who plays Dr Paul Weston in the HBO smash series "In Treatment" - was sent to England when he was just 11 to train to be a priest.
However, Byrne said he left the priesthood four and half years later because of his love of women.
"I went down to London during a break and we got on the bus and I walked up the stairs behind two girls in mini-skirts and that was the end of it for me," he said.
Byrne, who was talking on Irish TV at the weekend, also said he was stunned at the amount of drinking going on in Ireland.
"I think we've a huge problem in this country with alcohol and depression, they are often intertwined," Byrne said.
"I walked down Grafton Street a couple of months ago on a Saturday and it was scary beyond description."
"It's really sad to see young people vomiting in doorways".
"There is this plague of binge drinking where the idea is to get as out of it as you possibly can as quick as you can. That's alcoholism. Part of the disease is to remove yourself from reality as quickly as possible."

DreamRift co-founder: publisher piracy fears lead to unambitious games

The mere belief amongst some publishers that hardcore gamers are frightful pirates is why the DS and 3DS are given over to safe bets like licensed games and sequels, according to Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion developer DreamRift's co-founder Peter Ong.
