I love alcohol and I want to know more about it, so I search for alcohol on Wikipedia. While reading on alcohol I find another article I am interested in (hangover) and in that article I find another (diarhhea), and so on. This is just one of many wikipath's that may originate from the article on alcohol:

*Alcohol
*Hangover
*Diarhhea
*Infective diarhhea
*Immodium AD (loperamide)
*Opioid
*Opiate
*Codeine
*Ceiling effect
*Morphine
*Morpheus
