Preventable Tragedy

Dehydration sets in - As the sun beats down and the body naturally tries to cool itself by expelling perspiration to cool the skin, the body starts to get dehydrated. Drinking alcohol while dehydrated greatly enhances the rate at which the alcohol is absorbed.

Judgment is impaired - One of the things that drinking tends to do is to make you begin to lose your judgment. After a drink or two people tend to become relaxed and are more likely to perform dangerous acts that they might not normally do if not under the influence. Because their judgment is impaired they may not even realize they are doing something dangerous. This, combined with the other debilitating symptoms previously covered, spells disaster.
