DANGEROUS – transmission of word usage – DANGEROUS :
“The heat alert comes with advice, to drink plenty”.
Medically we know that the consumption of Alcohol – irrespective of weather type – does dehydrate our body.
In the case of excessive high and humid weather conditions – people would be endangering them-selves – to overly or excessively consume – ALCOHOL.
This WRONGNESS – if participated in an open heated extensive sun bright location – adds to the probability of a reaction to the Body – working overtime – through a dehydrated position – bought on by lack of Fluid – in this case the bodies – need of WATER.
DRINK a Lot – YES
BUT Water excessively – and NOT – Alcohol.
