Drinking Wine in the Desert

from Question of the Week, from the Naked Scientists · host Dr Chris Smith

Should you drink wine in the desert? Would an alcoholic drink dehydrate you faster than no drink at all? If so, should you let the alcohol evaporate first, and how long would this take? This is the subject of this week's answer, and we ask how long you could survive in a sealed car, and should you switch off your TV in a lightning storm? Like this podcast?
