Thursday Block Parties a Great Way for Alcoholics to Get Sunshine, says Doctor

How can drinking lead to good health? That’s a question that Peter Tompkins, MD, has an answer for. “Most drinkers are deficient in Vitamin D, which comes from sunlight,” says Dr. Tompkins. “That’s why the city of Erie’s Block Parties are good. Instead of drinking in a dark bar, you can have your booze and get some healthy sunshine.” Block Party regular John Yawlus agrees. “Man, I hardly ever see the sun.” I usually go right from work to the bar.”
