Numerous age-old remedies and commercial products are availableeverything from herbal drinks to IV(静脉的 )dripsand they are all put to good use during the holiday season. But, do t
36、hey work? And what is the cost to employers of all that recovery downtime? The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that excessive drinking costs the US economy more than $ 220bn annuallyor about $ 1.90 a drink. Some 72% of the costs stem from lost workplace productivity, the CDC
37、said. The problem goes beyond the US. In Australia, sick days will cost up to $ 1. 6bn in lost productivity in the last two weeks of the year, with some 10% of the workers polled planning to take up to three sick days off to recover from their celebrations, according to a survey of 1,000 workers by
38、Recoverlyte, an effervescent(冒泡的 )powder made by Sanofi-Aventis Healthcare Pty to “help your body recover from a late night out.“ Of those who did make it to work the day after an office Christmas party, more than a quarter conceded they were functioning at only 50% productivity. In the UK, research
39、ers estimated holiday-season hangovers cost businesses almost 260m. The survey of 1,500 people, conducted for the web travel site lastminute. com, found that about 25% of employees work for fewer than four hours the day following an office Christmas party and another 20% of workers will call in sick
40、. Currently, there is no effective hangover cure available, according to Joris Verster, a professor at Utrecht Universitys Institute for Pharmaceutical Sciences and an author of numerous scientific papers exploring possible hangover cures. “The only way to prevent hangovers is to consume alcohol in
41、moderation.“ The National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, part of the US National Institutes of Health, shares that view. “The NIH is not putting money into treating hangovers. What were trying to do is to prevent people from drinking so much they get a hangover,“ said George Koob, NIAAs

Everyone ca
44、n remember the unpleasant state of these streets and the canal which ran in the center. At the completion of the project there was no denying the practical and aesthetical improvement in these areas. It was like day and night: the difference was obvious. The section most transformed was the area tha
45、t spans the length of the West Collet Canal from Cemetery Road to Dean Street.

This is something that we dont have enough of. While this is surely encouraged it has been observed that one such business
47、has placed barricades(路障 )on the street in front of its entrance. This defeats the entire purpose of the rehabilitation of the Canal Streets which was to provide much needed parking space. Placing these barriers on the street itself deprives motorists of parking and in effect creates traffic problem

This would mean that we would be back to square one. We will have the same problem we had in the beginning w
49、here vendors spread their produce on the street along the canal. It is therefore imperative that the relevant authorities take note and apply whatever corrective measure is needed to curb this immediately. Belize is transforming for the better.
