The consumption of alcohol and exposure to excessive heat can be a dangerous mix as locals gear up to celebrate the Fourth of July.
According to medical experts, heat waves or periods of excessive heat are already dangerous, so consuming too much alcohol increases the risk of dehydration, heat exhaustion, or heat stroke.
The Fourth of July holiday will fall during the middle of a dangerous heatwave, and despite warnings about the heat, people will still drink to celebrate the holiday. To prepare for the festivities, Widner said they drink lots of Gatorade and Propel to ensure they will enjoy the day.
