That also takes you to our second danger:. Drinking provides a false sense of security, leading to taking risky decisions and behaviors. Drinking and swimming can make you take life-threatening decisions that you would not likely take if you were sober and in your right frame of mind.
The third danger of drinking while swimming arises from the creation of illusions. How would you be able to swim right then? Have you ever wondered why this happens? This is because of the illusions that make it difficult to see or walk straight. Thus, the situations can go haywire in seconds under such circumstances. When a person is drunk, he is more in danger because of a poor reaction rate. As alcohol is a depressant, it is known for impairing the normal thinking capacity of a person, and the brain is able to process information rather late than at a normal rate.
It makes sense, right? But make sure when you are drunk and heartbroken, you stay away from swimming all the more. This is yet another major danger of swimming after drinking. If anything goes bad while swimming, the chances of resuscitation on alcohol are diminished. How are hypothermia, alcohol, and swimming related to each other? Hypothermia is associated with low body temperature.
When you swim in cold water or in a cold climate, usually, your body reacts to the sudden change in temperature, and your blood rushes from your limbs to your vital internal organs to keep your body temperature in control and prevents hypothermia.
However, if you are under the alcohol influence and swimming, the presence of alcohol in your body deprives your body of this bodily feature. You can suffer from hypothermia, thus making situations worse.
Until your body temperature returns to normal, you will be in danger and could catch a serious cold. This is also the reason that one should avoid hot tub baths along with a glass a wine. Drinking, when combined with hot water spas and bath, cause you to feel sleepy and drowsy.
You may fall asleep in the tub itself and slip down under the water accidentally. So, should you stock up on bottles of vodka to clean your pool? Here's what pool professionals think. The short answer is you may have guessed it : no.
It's not the best idea to clean your pool with vodka. Michael Dean, Co-Founder at Pool Research , a site that provides expert advice on all things related to pools, spends a lot of time advising people on how to clean their pools. Here's what he had to say: 'I would never recommend my clients to clean their pools with vodka.
It is unwarranted, and if done repeatedly, could actually contribute to a chemical imbalance of the water, leading to bigger issues further on. Chemical imbalances in your swimming pool are not to be taken lightly, as they can actually make the water unsafe to swim in.
Besides, there's another, simpler reason why vodka just isn't your best choice for pool cleaning, according to Michael: 'while it may look like a cool "hack", it isn't very cost-effective; simple, regular maintenance is a lot cheaper than the cost of several bottles of vodka. Nor is it a particularly efficient or thorough way to clean your pool: 'this trend seems to be considered a DIY quick-fix for pools which are in need of a deep clean.
Sure, a few bottles of vodka might clear the algae, bugs, and plant matter from the surface of your pool, but often after months of neglect there are issues beyond the surface that require a more delicate and considered approach. Michael lays down the basics of pool maintenance , which, he says, are 'much more effective' than using vodka: 'skim leaves and debris once a day, brush sediment from the side and floor of your pool once a week, use the pool pump daily, and check your pool's filter weekly for debris.
And regularly test your pool water to measure the chemicals. If you want a low-cost, DIY hack for cleaning pools, then consider baking soda. A non-abrasive cleaning solution of water and baking soda works wonders on pool tiles and grout.
It can also be used on a pool surface made of cement or marble. It is arguably the most straightforward and least expensive method of organically cleaning your pool. When your pool is covered and not in use, it's a good idea to remove leaves and branches, as well as other dirt from the top.
A buildup can cause damage, algae development and limit the life of your pool cover, in addition to being unsightly.
