Video games are one of the biggest forms of entertainment since the internet. With that said, it's no wonder why so many people spend hours or even days in some cases playing video games. Since most people don't take breaks while playing games, including myself, we actually put ourselves at risk! How? Well I will tell you.
Most of us sit down to play video games and some even smoke or drink alcohol while in the gaming chair. I am fairly certain most of us has seen those fact videos and it says something along the lines of "Sitting down for long periods of time will kill you!" but, normally the chances of that happening are very slim.
Smoking a cigarette while playing video games, on the other hand, have had a documented death or two. You can Google it! Someone was playing a game for 10+ hours while smoking a lot of cigarettes and died. So if you are going to smoke and play video games; make sure to take a break every 2-3 hours.
Drinking by itself is dangerous. Honestly, I doubt you would even think about playing drunk. Mainly, because you tend to loose a lot of skill while under the influence. So, if you do play video games while drunk however. Take a break every 1-2 hours.
These aren't the only risks though. You can lose your social life if you play too often. I don't see this being a problem with online games, however. But, many scientists insist that you play for 1-2 hours. But, we aren't going to do that. So, as a remedy for this. Just pause the game if it's not an online game and check your phone!
