Hangovers Can Be Hazards Most people realize that if they've had too many alcoholic drinks they don't function the way they normally do. But many people don't realize that they may not be functioning normally the entire day after drinking too much. The North Carolina Medical Society advises that the period during a hangover, as the condition is called, can be as hazardous as the time period immediately follow ing heavy drinking. As long as alcohol is in your system, your judgement will be affected and your coordination will be reduced. The morning after a night of heavy drinking can leave you feeling thirsty, wuli a headache and possible nausea. There are some measures you can take to reduce the misery of a hangover; - Drink less. - Try to eat something before, during and after drinking. - Remember to drink several glasses of water before going to bed since drinking alcoholic beverages causes loss of water to the body's tissues. ? You can try antacids if your stomach is upset. But recovering from a hangover takes time and until the symptoms of the hangover are relieved, you should postpone activites such as driving or using complex equip ment. " I E Home of the Rev.

But the holidays may find some people singing the blues. "Many people find themselves feeling lonely and isolated, par ticularly when there is holiday ac tivity going on all around them," says Dr. Leo Hawkins, extension human development specialist at North Carolina State University. This is related to the high expec tations people hold for the holidays. "The usual problems of living in a family are accelerated, especially around Christmas," the extension specialist says. Because there is so much to be done, there is an increased need for communication, organization, rules and regulations. It is also a time to offer emotional support to other family members and to take care of self-esteem. These are often weak areas in the family, and pro blems become worse at a time when people are expecting more. "There is also an increase in symbolic expressions during religious holidays. If a person is not accustomed to this type of ex pression, he may experience a sense of meaningless without realizing where it came from," Dr. Hawkins points out. More people are also under con siderable economic strain this year. "Those who don't have the money either go into debt or feel I frustrated," Dr. Hawkins says. Going into debt results in anxiety during the holidays followed by depression when the bills come due. The holiday blues can be lifted if family members and friends are alert. "Try to notice if one person is quieter than usual and go to them. Be sure to include them in everything that's going on," Dr. Hawkins recommends. "Sometimes people don't realize what is happening until tempers flare or someone is crying. They would know if they were in the habit of listening, planning and checking with each other."
