Overeating
Holiday Drug Dangers, Alternatives
Monday, December 29th, 2008Over-the-counter meds interact with prescription drugs and alcohol, leading to 2 million “adverse drug reactions” each year. Reactions to properly prescribed dugs kill over 100,000 people per year in the U.S. Mistakes and overdose kill another 100,000.
