During hot weather, people look for ways to cool down and quench their thirst, but not all common methods are effective. According to TVNET, a major mistake is choosing alcohol or sugary drinks, as they promote fluid loss from the body. Coffee consumption should also be monitored—one or two cups will not harm a healthy person.

Many opt for ice-cold water to drink and cool off simultaneously, but this choice is not the best or safest. The article states that ice-cold water is not recommended, though it does not explain why. Instead, it leaves readers with a question: what type of water is best to drink in hot weather? While no answer is provided, the key takeaway is to avoid beverages that worsen dehydration and opt for moderately cool water or other suitable fluids.
