Alcohol heat volatile summer mix
Daily Illini
(U. Illinois)
CHAMPAIGN, I11.(U
Wire)-- With some students try
ing to save money on air condi
tioning and consuming substan
tial amounts of alcohol this sum
mer, dehydration and heat
exhaustion can become a major
concern.
Some of the most obvious
ways to cope with the heat are
wearing loose-fitting and light
colored clothing, drinking plenty
of fluids and staying out of the
sun, said David Lawrence, med
ical director of McKinley Health
Center at the University of
Illinois.
Peggy Gates-Wieneke, a fit
ness education coordinator at
SportWell Center, added trips to
the pool as a way to stay cool.
Swimming is the best way to
exercise in the summer, Gates
Wieneke said, because the water
regulates body temperature.
Gates-Wieneke also recom
mended exercising in the morn
ing or evening and avoiding the
afternoon heat.
Access to the Intramural
Physical Education Building is
available to all students enrolled
in three or more hours of classes.
Thosestudents who are not tak
ing summer classes can pay a
$41 campus recreation fee to
gain unlimited use of IMPE over
the summer.
Dehydration is a common
occurrence in the summer
months, and alcohol consump
tion can greatly contribute to
this.
When a body sweats, it cools
the skin and keeps the body tem
perature cooler than the air sur
rounding it, Dr. Lawrence said.
Dehydration occurs when the
fluid intake is not enough to
compensate for the loss of sweat,
he said.
Alcohol makes kidneys
unable to reabsorb water well
and is a poor replacement fluid
for the loss of water through per
spiration Lawrence said.
"You end up drier than if you
had nothing," Lawrence said.
Clear liquids, particularly
water, are best to combat the
heat. Lawrence said they do treat
heat exhaustion and dehydration
at McKinley, though not often.
Some signs of heat exhaus
tion are fatigue, anxiety, nausea,
pale color, dizziness, headache,
blurred vision, muscle cramps
and fainting, according to a
McKinley Web site.
The proper treatments for
heat exhaustion are lying down
flat in a cool or shady area with
one's head slightly elevated,
removing excess clothing, drink
ing small amounts of water every
few minutes and avoiding heavy
activity, the McKinley Web site
said.
