Haha we all have an inner Homer Simpson. For example, it took every ounce of energy this morning to overcome my impulse to eat the free donut (which would make me feel crappy later) and have healthy cereal. Mmmmm, free donut.
Quoted: The real trick to understanding how to approach Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness, the new book by Cass R. Sunstein and Richard H. Thaler, lies in recognizing the limitations of your inner Homer Simpson and opting out of your own stupid choices.

So you don't really need 8 glasses of water a day! It's an idea that's been around for almost 200 years and surprisingly, no one revisited it seriously until recently.
Quoted: A recent editorial in the Journal of the American Society for Nephrology is getting wide press coverage for debunking the so-called "8x8" theory—the popularly held belief that drinking eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily helps remove toxins, improve skin tone, and increase satiety, among other health benefits. The authors chalk up the belief to folklore.

Articles like this are precisely why I love Slate so much...
Quoted: Hangovers are not serious enough to be considered a medical condition, and there is, actually, no remedy for them—apart from old wives' tales and roast beef. They're neither a bad cold nor the flu, though they're serious enough to keep some in bed. But are hangovers always bad?
