LYME REGIS, ENGLAND - MAY 25: People sit beside the sea as they enjoy the fine weather on the beach in Lyme Regis on May 25, 2017 in Dorset, England. Parts of the UK are currently enjoying a blast of warm continental air and sunshine which forecasters claim could deliver the hottest May temperatures since the Second World War. With temperatures possibly hitting 30C (86F) on Saturday, it will make it not only the hottest day of the year so far but could even go higher to beat the record-breaking 32.8C (91F) recorded on May 29, 1944..

We have some of the best beaches right here! So check this out…do you drink while getting sunshine exposure? If you are consuming alcohol you will burn faster!

You can get a sunburn faster while your drinking.  

Researchers measured how much UV light it took to burn their skin after the men consumed about three drinks.

RESULTS:

After drinking alcohol the amount of UV light it took to burn the skin was significantly less.  

Researchers say it’s not exactly clear why this happens, but they believe it has to something with carotenoids… which are the yellow, orange and red pigments that we get from eating fruits and veggies, and help protect us from UV light. https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2019/07/14/741063881/mixing-alcohol-and-sun-beware-a-buzz-begets-a-faster-burn
