The 36- day hangover

-

THE average Briton spends a total of 36 days a year hung over, according to a nationwide poll of more than 2,000 adults. Drinkers confessed to being hung over an average of 24 times a year with the average hangover lasting 36 hours. The poll, from supplement company Survivorli­fe, also found that the average Briton drinks eight large glasses of wine per week, or 24 units – ten more units than NHS guidance.

A NEW tracker for children signals an alarm if they step outside a 200-metre radius – and can even control who they speak to.

The device, worn on the arm, also issues parents with regular location updates. Called myFirst Fone R1, the smartwatch also allows for two-way video and audio calls, but only to contacts specified by parents. Children are not able to refuse a parent’s call – the line connects automatica­lly. The company behind the £149.50 watch, myFirst, says it builds an ‘an invisible fence’ around children.
