It just makes sense. If you’ve decided to drink and be out in the sun, you probably forgot to put on the sunscreen. And that can have deadly consequences. This study comes from Florida Atlantic University, and it’s not just a drink that can cause you to forget to put on the block.
Gov't Study Shows Young Adults Under 30 Not Taking Skin Cancer Sun Exposure Warnings Seriously KEY BISCAYNE, FL - MAY 10: Lia Calavro (L) and Jamie Sadler sit in the sun while laying on the beach on May 10, 2012 in Key Biscayne, Florida. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention released a report that indicated that although protective behaviors such as sunscreen use, shade use, and wearing long clothing to the ankles have increased in recent years, sunburn prevalence remains high, with 50.1% of all adults and 65.6% of whites aged 18-29 years reporting at least one sunburn in the past 12 months.
