Summertime is reminiscent of beaches and backyard barbecues accompanied by coolers filled with alcoholic beverages. Indulging in a cold cocktail on a hot day may seem like a great way to cool down, but alcohol is a known diuretic that can cause dehydration – especially when combined with higher temperatures.
