Alright, here's the answer to the trivia question from Sunday/Monday.

Switching it to summertime heat safety (with a big heatwave incoming here in the mid US this week). Which of the following liquids should you not drink to stay hydrated during a heat wave?

Answer: C. Caffeine and alcohol are two things that should be avoided at all costs during a heatwave. Water and electrolyte drinks (such as Gatorade) are your best bet. Lemonade also tastes good this time of the year.
