Great series
Dr. Donner, last fall I was at a party which took place near a creek. I wanted to show off my ability to swim in cold water on a dare. I had a few drinks earlier and had not eaten since breakfast. I also had only slept 3 hours the night before. I was so weak after a minute in the water that I could barely move. Could you highlight the dangers of combining cold water, sleep deprivation and alcohol?
Don't do that shit again.
in cold water "YOU HAVE TO WEAR A LIFE JACKET", 👍🏽
