Bere rece pe caniculă: De ce senzația de răcorire nu trebuie confundată cu hidratarea
Drinking cold beer on hot days may feel refreshing, but it does not hydrate the body effectively. Alcohol can lead to dehydration by increasing urine output. Health authorities recommend limiting alcohol intake in high temperatures and suggest alternating alcoholic drinks with water. Older adults and those with chronic conditions should be particularly cautious, as dehydration can impair the body's ability to cope with heat. Water remains the best choice for hydration during hot weather.
