Take it from a nation of drunkards who live in the heat- You want low ABV beers.
Under 3.5%, around 2.7% - it’s low enough in alcohol that it stops being dehydrating, it won’t hydrate you but you’re not actively dehydrating yourself either.
There is a reason the top end of Australia drinks XXXX which is 3.5%. It’s only us down in the south that can get away with drinking full strength during Winter (now!)
OK, so only drink radlers and “tinto de verano” got it.
Wine spritzers are the way to go.
Or do my absinthe spritzer:
- pint glass
- muddle some mint in 50-100ml elderflower cordial
- add proper original absinthe, 50ml
- add St Germaine elderflower liqueur, 50ml
- add lemon or lime juice, 50ml
- add ice
- fill to the brim with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda (7Up etc.)
- enjoy
super refreshing, low ABV(ish). For even less alcohol, swap absinthe with Absinthe NV.
Refreshingly diabetic.
why would it be diabetic?
Don’t you want drinks that actually hydrate you though?
Yes but there aren’t any alcoholic drinks that do that and we are trying to get buzzed out here
Wouldn’t then drinking hard liquor for buzz and something hydrating be a decent option?
In france we drink a lot of beers above 7% :x
Surely this will solve the problem
TIL Europeans are alcoholics.
Dislike this the solution should never be “legalistic” in scenarios like this.
Just like with COVID, if people don’t have the good sense to regulate their own behaviors, when it affects the general population, then the state should intervene. During the height of COVID people with serious conditions were turned away from
historianshospitals because they were full of infected people that weren’t vaccinated. That, in turn, drove occupancy limits and mask mandates.Edit: autocorrect
Not the same thing at all drinking and suffering heat issues doesn’t infect others with heat stroke don’t police stuff like this public education.
If the hospitals are jammed because 1 million people have heat stroke it starts to affect others.
Contagious or not, their personal behaviors are clogging up hospitals. Public education should be a component but they’re already in the middle of a health crisis. Education campaigns take time to create and even more time to fully disseminate throughout the population.
