Did you know that staying hydrated is important to health? Staying hydrated throughout the day helps keep your body working the way it should!
Thirst is often the first alert that your body needs water, but don’t rely on it alone when you work out hard or in hot conditions—drink “proactively” whether you’re thirsty or not. Other symptoms of dehydration include dry mouth, swollen tongue, weakness, dizziness, confusion, sluggishness or fainting. Dehydration may also lead to muscle cramps in athletes—another important reason to stay hydrated during rigorous exercise.
Alcohol
May cause drowsiness. Alcohol may intensify this effect. Use care when operating a car or dangerous machinery.
You’ve probably seen this warning on medicines you’ve taken. The danger is real. Mixing alcohol with certain medications can cause nausea and vomiting, headaches, drowsiness, fainting, or loss of coordination. It also can put you at risk for internal bleeding, heart problems, and difficulties in breathing. In addition to these dangers, alcohol can make a medication less effective or even useless, or it may make the medication harmful or toxic to your body.
Some medicines that you might never have suspected can react with alcohol, including many medications which can be purchased “over-the-counter”—that is, without a prescription. Even some herbal remedies can have harmful effects when combined with alcohol.

The added benefits are that your skin looks younger, your nails and hair seem to grow faster, and it is also supposed to help you maintain your weight (or lose, for some). It is not medicine, it is NOT a drug, and it has NO side effects, except that you should take it with food so you dont get nauseated.
BTW, someone asked if it is worth it? YES YES YES!!
“The increases in youth drug use reflected in the Monitoring the Future Study are disappointing. And mixed messages about drug legalization, particularly marijuana legalization, may be to blame.

The specific type of birth defect depends on the systems in the fetus developing at the time of alcohol exposure. Organ systems are most vulnerable to damage by alcohol during the period of most dynamic development. The damage seen in animal models roughly corresponds to weeks 3 to 8 in human pregnancy. However, if a woman drinks any time throughout her pregnancy, damage may occur.
