Page 6-B Truthful Advice For All Drinking Drivers The holiday season is party time. When the party’s over, you’ve had too much to drink and you need to get home, what’s the best advice? The North Carolina Medical Society says to wait untQ you sober up or let someone else drive you home. Many people believe hot coffee, a cold shower or a jog around the block will act an antidote to the alcohol and help you sober up. Not true. Hot coffee will make you a wide awake drunk. A cold shower will make you wet and cold. A jog around the block could be hazardous to your health. You could trip and fall, or get run over. Time is the only method of sobering up. An ounce of alcohol, one drink or one beer, take approximately one hour for your body to eliminate. The best thing to do is let someone sober drive you home. Now the morning after becomes a painful reality. You need a reliable hangover cure. Edenton Upholstering and Antiques Quality Workmanship 1 Come In And Browse....

You guessed it: preventine medicine! The only way to cure your hangover is before it happens! Don’t drink!!! If you don’t drink too much, you won’t get a hangover. It’s that simple. The following “cures” DO NOT WORK! 1. Vitamins: Some say superdoses of vitamins will build up your body’s ability to fight off the hangover. It doesn’t work. 2. Tranquilizers: The only thing you might accomplish this way is an overdose of tranquilizing drugs on top of the overdose of alcohol. 3. Drink alcohol: “A bit of the hair of the dog that bit you,” they call it. Os course if you drink enough, today’s cure can be tomorrow’s hangover. 4. Inhaling pure oxygen is supposed to help your system oxidize the alcohol. It doesn’t,work. In fact, your hangover is partly the result of oxidizing alcohol. 5. Exercise: Suffering may help jfoßr guilty feelings, but your hangover will survive the exercise better than you will. 6. Stuff yourself with a gigantic breakfast, and if you keep it down, you will still have your hangover - plus a very full feeling. 7. Drink something disgusting: After your concoct the awful drink and manage to swallow it, the taste is supposed to make you forget your hangover. Drinking alcoholic beverages tends to Caution, Common Sense Are Best Fire Prevention Methods Nothing could be safer than snuggling up close to a roaring Are on a cold win ter’s night, right? Wrong, reports the U. S. Consumer Safety Commission in a recent study on fireplace hazards. Thousands of people suffered from in juries occuring around the fireplace last year, the majority of the victims being children. The ac cidents, which ranged from minor cuts to serious burns that required emergency treatment, occurred most frequently when clothing or other flammable objects caught fire from being too close to the flames. Other mishaps, especially burns, were blamed on improperly loading logs in the fireplace or in reaching for a hot poker or other fireplace equipment. A little common sense and caution will prevent most of these accidents, but the North Carolina Medical Society wishes to pass along some additional safety tips for the avid fireplace user: 1- Don’t discard old aerosol cans or other closed containers in the fireplace, as these will burst when the vapors inside of them are heated. 2 - Don’t use gasoline or other flammable liquids to start a fire. Not only are the vapors dangerous to use inside, but can explode at high temperatures. Coal and charcoal can beused ONLY if they are very well vent- Tiateurr 'T 3 - Make sure the damper is open and working properly before you begin a fire. 4 - When using artificial logs, use only one at a time, since they generate more heat than real wood and can be dangerous in some fireplaces if there is too much heat. 5 - Use a screen to cover your fireplace. This will help prevent fires that may be caused from flying sparks. For this reason, it’s a wise idea to stack old newspapers and other flammable materials you may want to burn in a cool place AWAY from the THE CHOWAN HERALD dehydrate the body.
