Easy on the alcohol…

Just a word of warning to those of you who may come to visit the islands… Alcohol is cheap here. Local nurses say that the cases of alcohol poisoning they see are folks from the states who drink the same quantities they are used to at home, but don’t realize that a rum & coke, for example, contains a lot more alcohol than they are used to. The fruity tropical drinks are especially “dangerous” because it’s harder to taste the alcohol. So when you come to the islands, go easy on the drinks.
