BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

tree decorating

Eighteen percent of people admit to decorating their Christmas trees while hitting the eggnog a little too hard, and 10% of people have reported getting injured while decorating, according to an online survey of 2,050 consumers by ValuePenguin.com.

The percentage of those admitting to drinking while decorating rises for millennials (27%) and Gen Zers (20%). And the rate of men who have done so (25%) is nearly double that of women (13%), according to November survey results released this month.

And while personal liability coverage within a homeowners insurance policy would likely cover bodily injury or property damage after a Christmas tree mishap, ValuePenguin points out that coverage may be limited if alcohol is involved. “It might be best to stick with a steamy mug of hot cocoa while decorating your tree — especially if a ladder is involved,” the personal finance site says.
