Alcohol and sun: the evils of excess
When alcohol is abused, the body takes a beating
By Katherine Manweiler Kansan staff writer
Common sense could save a lot of headaches for students who plan to drink alcohol during spring break.
Janine Demo, coordinator of health education at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said overindulging in food use causes serious problems for students.
"Most of the problems occur because of decisions made while under the influence," Demo said. "We forget what we know when we drink."
People abuse alcohol when they drink more than three drinks in an evening or when they drink to get drunk, she said.
No matter how much someone drinks, it takes their body an hour to metabolize each drink.
If someone drinks a 12-pack and tries to drive several hours later, the level of alcohol in their blood could be high enough for them to be arrested for driving under the influence, Demo said.
Peanuts have a purpose
People should eat foods with high-protein content before and during drinking because they stay in the formar longer than other foods, Demo said.
"Peanuts are not just sitting there to make you thirstier," she said. "They're high in protein and they help to absorb some of the alcohol."
Drinking beer while sunbathing or skiing can dehydrate the body because people lose body fluids when they ski or sunbathe. Alcohol depletes body fluids instead of replenishing them. Demo said.
People with hangovers should rest and drink plenty of water because their bodies are dehydrated, she said
Foods easy on the liver such as cereals, pasta, fruits and vegetables are the best things to eat during a hangover.
"They shouldn't sleep in too late," she said. "If they are used to eating breakfast, they need to get up and eat something because otherwise low blood sugar will contribute to the headache."
Demo said people who often drank coffee or other beverages with caffeine should have some caffeine the morning after drinking too much
"The last thing you want to do is go through caffeine with withdrawal with a hangover at the same time," she said.
How not to help a drunk
Many myths exist about how to help someone get over a hangover, Demo said.
You can't sober up a drunk, she said.
"You shouldn't walk them - you get a tired drunk," she said. "You shouldn't shower them - you get a wet drunk. You shouldn't give them coffee. You get a wide-awake drunk, and that's the last thing you want."
"We have a bad risk of laughing at a drunk people," she said. "We've got to the attitude that being unhealthy is socially accept-
People also should not laugh at friends who have had too much to drink, she said.
Demo said putting someone under a cold shower was dangerous because the cold water could cause them to go into shock.
Your body's largest organ, the skin, gets most of its sun exposure by your 18th birthday. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer and for many the result of excessive sun worship

Too many rays can cause sunburn immediately, cancer later
By Katherine Manweiler
Kansan staff writer
Whether skiing or hitting the beach, fun in the sun is on the agenda for many students this spring break.
But if people are not careful, they could end up with too much of a good thing.
Jane Levings, program director for the Eastern Kansas division of the American Cancer Society, said that overexposure to the sun was a serious mistake
"Exposure to the sun is cumulative," she said. "Skin cancer is a real risk for college students, but it doesn't show up until many years later in most cases.
"If they have been repeatedly sunburned, then by all means, they need to keep watching the skin carefully for any changes," Levings said.
She said that changes to 100k or included sores that did not neat, changes in the shape or color of a mole and scaly patches of skin.
you and that people could protect themselves from the sun by using number 15 sunblock or wearing hats that covered their faces.
"A lot of skin cancers are on the nose or other parts of the face because those areas are the most exposed to the sun," Levings said.
Skin cancer might be the most serious consequence of overexposure to the sun, but sunburn is the most prevalent among college students.
Candyce Waitley, health educator at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that students were treated for sunburns at Watkins every year after spring break.
"So frequently, people have had no exposure to the sun, and the skin
The sun's rays are strongest from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
doesn't have any tan at all," she said. "When they are exposed to the sun for long periods of time without protection the burn tends to be worse."
Reflections of the sun on water or sand can cause sunburn also, Waitley said.
"You can get a sunburn in 20 minutes if you're out in the sun in those hours without protection," Waitley said. "You can still get a sunburn through the clouds. The sun's rays are not filtered. The majority of people don't realize that."
She said that people should make sure the sunscreen that they buy provides protection from both UV-A and UV-B rays.
UV-A rays penetrate deeper into the skin than UV-B rays, and therefore cause more damage to the skin.
She said that skin creams or Vaseline should not be used to treat sunburns because they slow down the healing process.
The most effective way to relieve pain from a sunburn is to apply cold compresses to the burned area. Waitley said
Waitley said that it helped people to wear breathable clothing, such as cotton, when they had sunburns. Over-the-counter pain suppressants will also decrease the discomfort of a sunburn.
Overexposure to the sun also can age the skin, giving it a leathery, yellow appearance. Waitley said.
It is also important for people to protect their eyes with sunglasses when spending time peaking uprays.
Waitley said that people whose eyes were exposed to direct sunlight for an extended period of time placed themselves at high risk for cataracts.
able."
A sober person needs to stay with the person who has had too much alcohol and try to keep them still and comfortable. Demo said.
They should not lie on their back because if they vomit, they could die from breathing vomit into their lungs, she said.
"Alcohol is a depressant," she said.
"They can go into some type of respiratory or cardiac arrest as a result. If you detect any problems whatsoever with their breathing, they need to get medical help immediately."
It is important for someone to monitor the drunk person's breathing.
Take an aspirin?
Demo said taking aspirin before going to bed did not prevent a hangover.
They may avoid a headache for them two hours, but they're going to wake up when it is.
She said aspirin could be taken for
the pain, but it often upset the stomach, causing vomiting.
Drinking a beer to get over a hangover is a sign of a serious drinking problem, Demo said. If someone drinks too much and does not get a hangover, it is probably because the alcohol level in their body is stable.
"People who have to drink in order to feel normal the next morning are not feeling normal," she said. "Unfortunately, time is the only thing that's going to get you through a hangover.
No amount of coffee or trying to sober up is going to help that process."
Julie Dolan, president of Promoting Alcohol Responsibility Through You, said too much alcohol caused abuse and unsafe sex and grunk driving.
Dolan said it was important for students to remember to use designated drivers if they were going to drink.
"Be responsible," she said. "Keep in control and be aware of the people around you."
Zoom succeeds by trial and error; Soulfood needs experience
Bv M. Olsen
Special to the Kansan
Being an underage fan of live music in Lawrence can be tough. Besides the Outhouse, there are really no TVs that regularly put on all ages shows.
The first concert in the series was a recent show featuring two local acts, Zoom and Soulfood. Although the turnout for the show was disappointingly smaller than expected, the small crowd made the event more intimate for those who did show up.
A new series of concerts at the Burge Union will create another way for fans of all ages to take part in the burgeoning Lawrence music scene.
Soulfood opened the show, playing all originals except for one cover thrown into their set. This was the band's fifth show in front of an audience so the musicians seemed timid at first, but the evening's relaxed "rec-center" atmosphere and the receptive, friendly audience soon put them at ease.
The group's original songs, such as "Crush" and "Daze," built slowly and then exploded in a wash of sound, providing a fine background for singer Rachel Owens' rapsy wall. This band still is developing and is definitely one to keep an eye on.

MUSIC REVIEW
Zoom already has established itself firmly in the Lawrence music scene. The band formed a little more than a year and a half ago with what lead singer/rhythm guitarist Mark Henning described as "just a really good attitude."
Even if you've seen Zoom before regardless of what your opinion of the band was - the group is worth checking out again. As bassist Jeremy Sidener said, "We always try to do something different so it doesn't stagnate and get lame."
Proving Sidener's point that "Songs we wrote a long time ago we play totally different now," the band ripped through revamped versions of "Dead End Story" and "Our Lady's Pride." The new versions of these older songs aren't exactly 'heavier,' they are just more straight-forward rock.
The band also played some of its newest material, including the swelling, oceanic "7:30" and "Slip Hammer Drive," which Sidener explained as a "fictional tale about Mark's inability to hammer a nail."
Zoom, which also includes guitarist Steve Tubert and drummer Chris
Cosgrove, refuses to be pigeonholed into any one style. The final portion of the group's set featured jarring monolithic riffs and extended jackhammer jams. The band members obviously were enjoying themselves to the fullest. Then they capped off the set with a spirited triple-time version of Blondie's "Talentphone."
When trying to define Zoom's overall sound, Henning said, "I think of what we do like testing lab rats almost trial-and-error. We're not doing this on any set path. We're just doing this to have fun and maybe do something worthwhile."
"We have such a good time playing our tunes," Sidener said. "We don't want to be the next big thing on (record label) DGC, we just want to
take the music to its fullest and do as much as we can as a group. If that means just touring extensively, going everywhere we can, even if we don't get a record, just playing forever and seeing the country - that's cool enough for me."
"I think that's the most," said Henning. "We've seen so many cool gas stations."
