I enjoy a Good Cold beer myself daily. The only difference during the summer is I don't drink one until after 6PM and then I only have one to three. Use to be 8-12 a day, but those days are gone. Would like to add to some comments, that it is important to drink water, BEFORE doing any outside work in the summer or winter. I don't use any sport drinks, but I will eat a few chips or pretzels that have a little salt on them. For those that have Hypertension (HBP), don't worry, you still need a little salt in your diet. Need to plan your work. I am retired now, but need to take care of the grounds of my property. I only work out side, in the morning and late afternoon.
