It is when people use alcohol as an escape route for social, personal or career pressures that abuse or alcoholism can result. Abuse of alcohol, or consumption of more alcohol than the body can handle, can lead to liver damage and other debilitating conditions.
About the Quahog. Quahogs are hard-shelled clams found in estuaries along the Atlantic Coast, from Canada to Texas. Their name, quahog, is a variation of poquauhock, (po-qua-hock) the Native American name for this clam.
Step 2. Add 1 to 2 inches of water to a pot and place it on your burner under high heat. Step 3. Add your quahogs to a steamer basket and set it on top of the pot once the water has begun to boil. If you do not have a steamer basket, you can place the quahogs directly in the water in the pot -- do not fully cover them with water. Place a lid on top of the steamer basket and steam the clams for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the shells have just popped open. Don't overcook, or the meat will toughen.
