Night-time Fall in S'Illot: When an Argument Turns Deadly

Answer

Does alcohol increase the risk of serious falls at night?

Yes, alcohol can make falls more likely because it affects coordination, balance and risk awareness. At night, those effects are even more dangerous if someone is moving across uneven ground, roofs or stairways. In Mallorca, where many incidents happen in tourist areas and apartment blocks, drinking can turn a bad decision into a serious accident.
