N2  - Between 7 and 8 o'clock has been defined as "the danger hour" of the Copper Works in Perth Amboy. Thirty-seven of the 205 accidents in the past 6 months having recorded for trhat hour --  the first hour of the day shift. It is known that more accidents occur on Monday morning that at any other time; also that more accidents occur on mornings that follow holidays than on the mornings of other days...To any man who can think in a straight line, the above statistics mean just one thing. It is a plain fact, and we will state it plainly. Too much drinking at night means foggy eyes and unsteady nerves next morning. Then, the accidents pile up...cut down the booze, and as surely as day follows night, you will cut down the accidents.     <p>Cited in: Burnham JC (2009).
