Don’t Drink and Dive

Medical experts are the first to warn that alcohol and recreational activities on the water don’t mix. Ten people drown on an average day.  Alcohol combined with water recreation is a factor in about one third of the adult drownings.

That’s why it’s important to understand the dangers alcohol consumption can pose, especially near the water. When people drink alcohol, their judgment and inhibitions are impaired. That is a dangerous situation, especially near water. Medical experts recommend you never drink alcohol before or while swimming or boating, so sipping spirits between laps and dips in the pool is not a good idea.
