9 summer drink recipes –

That summer is synonymous with fun, no one can deny. Warm temperatures, travel and weather makes it the perfect time to bet on drinks delicious at the end of the day – or by the pool at the end of the week.

But of course, always in moderation. “Moderate alcohol consumption is defined as one US cup (14 g of alcohol) per day for women and two US cups (28 g of alcohol) per day for men.” Luana Luz, gastroenterologist and hepatologist. She also gives some tips to put into practice when consuming drinks, to minimize unwanted effects:

TIPS FOR DRINK TIME

Alternate the alcohol with the water. Alcohol acts as a diuretic, i.e. its excess leads to dehydration. Drinking water together avoids effects such as headache caused by dehydration. don’t forget to feed well before and during: opt for options with carbohydrates and foods with a high liquid content. Do not drink alcohol mixed with coffee or energy drinks. Do not mix medications and alcohol. Many medications are metabolized in the liver and so is alcohol. Some remedies may have their effect potentiated or diminished with alcohol. If your doctor says not to drink, don’t!
