Don't drink and fry

Luton Picture the scene: after a good night out and a bit worse for wear, get home and feel hungry! Head for the kitchen, start merrily cooking up a feast, move to the lounge to wait for the food to cook, but instead doze off. Things are starting to get messy in the kitchen. The smoke alarm starts its shrill wail, but because of the alcohol and in a semi-comatose state, that shrill wail just does not wake you. After all, alcohol is a powerful toxin, a central nervous system depressant, which affects our judgement and dulls the senses, resulting in not hearing the smoke alarm, or smelling the smoke.
