Believe it or not, Brits have been advised to avoid drinking alcohol when the weather is in full swing.
Some experts have advised against it because drinking an ice-cold beverage during a heatwave is undoubtedly the most British thing to do.
Doctors typically encourage us to stay hydrated as the temperature rises, as many of us are aware.
Alcohol is a diuretic, meaning it causes you to urinate more when consumed in excess.
And when you urinate more, your level of dehydration rises.
Alcohol advice site Drinkaware explains: “Alcohol is a diuretic, which means it encourages the kidneys to lose extra fluid.
“That is why you tend to go the toilet to urinate (pee) much more when you drink alcohol. Alcohol also makes you sweat more.
“The combination of sweating more in the heat, and going to the toilet more, means you lose more fluid than you take in and become dehydrated unless you replace that lost fluid by drinking water.”
