Likewise, the head of the health portfolio took the opportunity to invite people to live these holidays in peace, with all the care and responsible consumption of intoxicating beverages to avoid losing self-control. It is worth noting that, during these festivities, the number of people who, after ingesting spoiled drinks and food, resort to emergency centers increases.
It is important to keep in mind that adulterated drink can cause severe poisoning and even death. That is why identifying it is crucial. Some signs include suspiciously low prices, stamps and labels of dubious quality, and strange or overly strong flavors. Being attentive to these signs can prevent risks and ensure responsible consumption.

It is worth remembering that last year, the behavior of citizens was not the best during the parades and other activities. Some people who were under the influence of alcohol started fights on 42nd and 5th streets, in the downtown area, and even in the Manuel Murillo Toro park. For this reason, a call is made to the community so that this edition is enjoyed in peace.
