SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — The Illinois Liquor Control Commission is warning about the dangers of drinking too much when temperatures are so high.

Spending even a short time outdoors in excessive heat can be problematic, but when you add alcohol, the risks are even higher says Commission Executive Director Lisa Gardner.

Gardner recommends drinking a glass or two of water for each adult beverage you have and limiting time outside from 10 a.m. to four p.m. when the sun’s rays are strongest.
