No matter what types of games or activities we all participate in during the summer, we need to remember that summer activities and alcohol do not mix. Camping, hiking, water, driving and many other things we enjoy during the summer can be, when mixed with alcohol, a lethal combination, whether it's a senior activity or one for the entire family.

That is so true and I imagine this can affect seniors even more so. I see people going out in boats all the time in the heat of the day and have their cooler loaded with beer. Alcohol can hit the system a lot faster and harder when it is really hot out.

On a boat, you are prime targets for all sorts of accidents, ranging to collisions with other water craft to fish hooks to swimming accidents. Seniors have lots of experience, no doubt, but alcohol sends wisdom and knowledge packing.

I only have the occasional glass of wine when I'm at home. I'm the driver of the family and can't afford to neglect the safety of my loved ones.

You hear such sad stories on TV nowadays that I am afraid of the very smell of alcohol. I worry about my senior parents but luckily they only share the glass of champagne at New Year's.
