Why is it better to refrain from consuming alcoholic beverages in a hot season?

Dehydration 

In the heat, the human body loses water faster due to active sweating. Alcohol intensifies this process, causes a feeling of heat, from which we sweat even faster. Don't forget that alcohol has a diuretic effect.

Heart problems

In the heat, together with water, electrolytes, which are necessary for the heart (potassium and sodium), are excreted from the body. It is difficult for the cardiovascular system to work in such conditions, the vessels dilate and the pressure can drop.

People with heart disease are strictly forbidden to drink in the heat, the risks of stroke and heart attack increase.

Sports activities

Alcoholic drinks are not compatible with active sports, especially in the summer. They only increase the risk of getting into trouble due to lack of concentration and coordination problems.
