I'm going to put this here too, due to Phil's recent on-air claim of having self-diagnosed "Partial Lactose Intolerance" as his cited reason for not accompanying his birthday cake with a glass of bovine beverage product and his specific and graphic depiction of his symptoms comporting exactly with recent academic research on the subject; I am calling it what it actually is: Alcoholism.
Here are links to the recent study:

The quote from the last link, "Another source of intestinal symptoms could be food intolerance due to incomplete intestinal digestion. This has been recently shown with respect to some disaccharides, mainly lactose. Because of a striking reduction in lactase activity in alcoholics, lactose administration resulted in an increased incidence of diarrhea, cramps and distension."
All these symptoms fall back in line with control groups after 8 to 10 days of abstinence from alcohol. Basically Phil probably doesn't ever go a full week without either binge drinking at least 7 or more drinks several times, or is having 3 or more drinks every single day, or some combination of the two. This likely puts Phil's Gin consumption at more than a gallon a month, or over a liter a week.
