This is why too much alcohol can lead to suffocation and death, especially in younger drinkers who are more likely to experiment with their capacity for alcohol. I'm Tom Britt. Swartzwelder says just because alcohol is legal for those over 21 does not mean it is safe. Many people have an artificial dichotomy about drugs. They break them into legal and illegal.
Illegal ones are bad - legal ones are okay.
Of course that's false from a biological standpoint, but many people don't think about that. Tom Britt has more. If your kids are like most who are out of school for the holidays, they've probably been either lying around the house with nothing to do, or they've been constantly on the go. Either way, their daily routine has been disrupted, and so has their sleep pattern. Duke University Medical Center pediatric nurse clinician Nancy Murray says the thing to remember is that the excitement of the holidays is only temporary, and trying to force the kids to keep their school-day sleep schedule is most likely a lost cause.
