THE ILLINOIS LIQUOR CONTROL COMMISSION IS WARNING ABOUT THE DANGERS OF DRINKING TOO MUCH WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE SO HIGH.
SPENDING EVEN A SHORT TIME OUTDOORS IN EXCESSIVE HEAT CAN BE PROBLEMATIC, BUT WHEN YOU ADD ALCOHOL, THE RISKS ARE EVEN HIGHER SAYS COMMISSION EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR LISA GARDNER.
GARDNER RECOMMENDS DRINKING A GLASS OR TWO OF WATER FOR EACH ADULT BEVERAGE YOU HAVE AND LIMITING TIME OUTSIDE FROM 10 A-M TO FOUR P-M WHEN THE SUN’S RAYS ARE STRONGEST.
GARDNER SAYS IF YOU START TO FEEL DIZZY OR SICK YOU SHOULD GET OUT OF THE SUN, REST AND DRINK MORE WATER.
