Most of us have woken up after a night out wanting to jump in a time machine to the moment before we ordered that round of shots, and just go home instead.

And while most of us curse the heavens and yell ‘NEVER AGAIN!’ into the toilet bowl, we always manage to find ourselves back there again.

While there’s nothing wrong with letting your hair down now and again, the latest figure from the World Health Organisation (WHO) have revealed some really scary facts about alcohol.

According to WHO, dangerous alcohol consumption was responsible for 3.3 million deaths worldwide in 2012.

“This actually translates into one death every 10 seconds,” Shekhar Saxena from WHO said.

On average, every person in the world age 15 and older drinks 6.2 liters of pure alcohol a year, according to the report.

However, less than half the world’s population drinks any alcohol, which means people who do, drink an average of around 17 litres of pure alcohol a year.

Scarily, binge drinking among women, including those living in Ireland, is on the rise.

And according to the graph, Ireland ranks in the second highest category of worldwide alcohol consumption, with an average intake of between 10-12.4 litres per person over the age of 15, in 2010.

Prince Harry made the headlines recently for his shock split from long-term girlfriend, Cressida Bonas.

But apparently Harry doesn’t seem too heartbroken over the break-up, as rumours are now surfacing that the Prince hooked up with a local Tennessee girl, two weeks ago.

Harry went to the wedding of his pals, Guy Pelley and Lizzy Wilson with his big brother, William.

While reports suggested that both brothers had a great time at the wedding, Harry may have had too much fun.

One source said that Harry spent the night trying to woo a local Tennessee girl, even trying out some unusual dance moves to grab her attention.

“The girl comes from a wealthy family in Tennessee. There was lots of drinking,”

It seems that Harry was successful, as the socialite spent the night with the prince and has been bragging about it since.

“She stayed overnight. She’s been bragging about it to friends.”

But apparently Harry isn’t keen to jump into a serious relationship just yet, as sources have revealed that it was “just a hook-up” to the Prince.

If your bucket list doesn’t have ‘visit Machu Picchu’ on it then something is amiss.

Located 7,000ft above sea level, this 15th century Inca site (see how we slipped a little bit of history in there…) sits above the Urabamba Valley in Peru and definitely has the wow factor!

This video beautifully shows off one of South America’s most incredible and popular tourist attractions in such a way that you’ll be booking the next flight out of here – well maybe not the next…

Poor Khloe, as it seems wherever she goes, her ex Lamar is sure to follow.

This time it seems that her ex-husband Lamar, was spotted outside the same nightclub, where Khloe was out partying with her new boyfriend, French Montana. Awkward!

It seems, if it wasn’t for French Montana’s security team, she would’ve most definitely had an awkward run in with her ex.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashian’s star then went on to send a cryptic tweet about last night’s events and about how much Lamar had hurt her.

But Khloe quickly moved on from her sad tweet and went on to tweet happy messages to her fans.

We hope Khloe is doing ok, a run in with your ex is never easy.

Selena’s representative has been forced to deny rumours that the 21-year-old singer was pregnant with Justin Bieber’s baby in 2012.

American magazine, In Touch  are currently running the story that Selena Gomez was pregnant with Justin’s child.

A source apparently told the magazine that Selena was pregnant with Justin’s baby and the singer saw it as a sign that her and Justin were meant to be together forever.

“In 2012, she got pregnant and miscarried Justin’s baby. Nothing in her life has been the same since.”

Well, we wonder what Justin would make of this rumour.

J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will be released in November 2016.

But we can’t wait that long!

The book was published in 2001 as one of Harry’s Hogwarts textbooks,

It will be adapted by Warner Bros. and set years before the arrival of the famous boy wizard, played by Daniel Radcliffe in the movies.

CEO of Warner Bros. Entertainment Kevin Tsujihara previously revealed the book will be turned into a movie trilogy.

He said, ”Three mega movies are planned. The main character will be a ‘magizoologist’ named Newt Scamander. The stories, neither prequels or sequels, will start in New York about seven decades before the arrival of Mr. Potter and his pals.”

The casting, or who will direct the ‘mega movies’ has yet to be decided, but we can’t to see who is lined up for the wizardly roles!

Rowling has sang the CEO’s praises for agreeing to pen the first of the spin-off movies.

She said, ”When I say he made Fantastic Beasts happen, it isn’t PR-speak but the literal truth.

”We had one dinner, a follow-up telephone call, and then I got out the rough draft that I’d thought was going to be an interesting bit of memorabilia for my kids and started rewriting!”

Rihanna felt so guilty about breaking L.A. Police Commission President, Steve Sobornoff’s phone that she decided to donate $25,000 to a charity fund for police officers.

The singer accidently smashed Steve’s phone at a basketball game last Friday, when he tried to take a selfie with Rihanna.

Steve Sobornoff soon became famous after Rihanna tweeted an apology to the police officer.

“Sorry I broke your phone @SteveSoboroff :)”

Since then, Steve has been keeping his followers up to date on the phone saga and revealed yesterday that Rihanna had planned on making a large donation to the police officer charity.

Steve also revealed in another tweet that he planned to auction the broken phone to raise further money for the charity, which Rihanna had autographed with another apology: “Sorry! I love LAPD!”

There is disappointing news for Ashton Kutcher today as it has been revealed that this season of Two and a Half Men will be the last.

Ashton has starred in the show since taking over from Charlie Sheen back in 2011.

However, the ratings for the show have been decreasing every year, and now creator Chuck Lorre has said the show will get a “season long finale,” similar to How I Met Your Mother did.

Two and a Half Men has been the longest running comedy on US broadcast television so we have no doubt this comes as sad news to all involved in the show.

We wonder what Charlie will have to say about all of this…
