Sun, beach and alcohol

Beach and sun are the most popular attributes of vacations. Men sometimes tend to drink one or two glasses beer on holidays. An American scientist found that the risk of skin irritation after sun exposure is higher after alcohol consume. The mechanism of the phenomenon is not yet known. People who are more sensitive for the sun can avoid stronger sunburn using less or no alcohol on the beach. Source: (Mukamal K. et al, J Am Acad Dermatol 2006, 55:584-589).
