[LETTERS TO THE EDITOR]If you ski, don’t drink

Published: 18 Jan. 2004, 22:36

I went to a ski resort in Gangwon province last week. There were two men there who caused a lot of unease to others; they were drinking liquor from a water bottle on the ski slope. Later, I was very upset to find that stores and restaurants in the resort were selling liquor. As we know from cases of drunk driving, liquor hampers judgement and movement.
Both the store selling liquor and the people drinking it were wrong. They will endanger others as well as themselves.
There are many children on the slopes. To protect them, drinking should be banned while skiing.
