There's something special about summer. Garden parties stretch long into the evening, festivals fill the calendar, weekends are spent camping, and barbecues become the perfect excuse to get friends and family together.

With all the excitement, it's easy to forget one simple thing – staying hydrated.

Spending more time outdoors, warmer temperatures and being more active all increase the amount of fluid your body loses. Add a few alcoholic drinks into the mix and keeping hydrated becomes even more important if you want to feel your best and make the most of every summer occasion.

From garden gatherings to festival fields

Whether you're hosting a barbecue, dancing at a festival or enjoying a weekend under canvas, hydration often slips down the priority list.

You might be reaching for another burger, catching your favourite band or relaxing at your campsite with friends, but your body is still working hard to regulate its temperature and replace the fluids lost through sweating.

A reusable water bottle is one of the easiest essentials to pack alongside the sun cream and picnic blanket.

Enjoying a drink? Remember the water too

Summer often goes hand in hand with a glass of something chilled.

While there's nothing wrong with enjoying a drink responsibly, alcohol can contribute to dehydration by increasing fluid loss. A simple habit of alternating alcoholic drinks with water can help you stay better hydrated throughout the day or evening.

And if you're feeling a little sluggish the next morning, rehydrating with plenty of fluids and replacing lost electrolytes is a sensible way to support your recovery. It's worth remembering that electrolytes aren't a cure for a hangover, but staying hydrated is an important part of looking after your body after a late night.
