Heartbroken parents have sued an alcohol company. They say their son died after drinking what some have nick-named "blackout in a can" and "liquid cocaine".

One can of the drink Four Loko packs a burst of caffeine and a ton of alcohol. A 15-year-old apparently drank two cans of the stuff before he died. One can of Four Loko is like drinking five beers and four cups of coffee. This teen had the equivalent of beers and eight cups of coffee the night he died.

It's a huge day in the case against Casey Anthony. Dr. Drew gives his thoughts on the compelling family dynamic of the Anthony family and the emotional details coming out of today’s opening statements.

Then, a family profiled in the Toronto Star is shocking the world - the family has two sons, just had a baby and they are raising the baby as “genderless.” They aren’t telling anyone if it’s a boy or girl. They also raise their sons to live out whatever gender they choose. The parents believe they are giving their children the freedom to choose who they want to be, unconstrained by social norms about males and females. Dr. Drew talks to the reporter that broke this story and finds out what impact their parenting choice has on their children.

updated 12:00 PM EDT, Tue May 24, 2011
We often use words such as "shocking" or "surprising" when talking about stories that throw us off a bit.

In the case of Casey Anthony, those words might not be strong enough.
