There is nothing more relaxing than your favorite drink on the beach. If you haven’t set off on your long-awaited summer vacation yet, then you probably drank a glass of your favorite alcoholic drink or a cocktail that you like to refresh yourself on the beach while sneaking into your dreams on vacation.
However, drinking on the beach can be a lot more dangerous than you might think. There are several reasons.
If you are planning to enter the water, you definitely should not have consumed alcohol. Alcohol confuses the brain, due to which you cannot accurately and accurately determine the position of your body in the water. So you can lose orientation, where is the shore, where is up and down? This puts you at serious risk of drowning. Even if you get hit by a small wave, it can be potentially life-threatening if you are intoxicated.
If you plan to enter the water on a boat or other watercraft, again, alcohol is not the best option. Driving any vehicle after drinking alcohol is life-threatening. It is dangerous even if you are close to the coast. All sorts of unforeseen situations can arise. Doing them while intoxicated is more difficult and risky.
In addition to these risks, the fact that alcohol acts as a diuretic must also be considered. It dehydrates the body, which is a bad factor in the summer heat. Alcohol on the beach, sun, wind and salt water are the conditions for dangerous dehydration of the body, which can lead to serious consequences, especially when drinking in large quantities. If you drink alcohol on the beach, it is extremely important to drink more fluids and water.
Alcohol also increases the risk of skin cancer, which already exists while you are on the beach and in the sun for a long time. This is because alcohol predisposes the skin to burn more easily, which subsequently leads to an increased risk of skin cancer. Alcohol is one of the factors to consider on the beach. Remember to apply sunscreen more often if you drink alcohol.
