Alcohol & Kids/Alcohol & You

 

Don't Drink Before Using Your Stove, Tools or Heavy Machinery:  Every day, someone has a drink or two, turns on a stove to heat some food, and then sits down to wait and watch some television. And every day, this sequence of events results in fire damage to a home and even loss of life. If you're going to drink alcohol at home, please don't do it before using your stove, power tools, clothes iron or heavy machinery -- particularly if you're also taking any type of medication (including over-the-counter allergy, cold or headache medicine).
