UK - your expats need you.

It's 35°C here at the moment, so I dropped into our local supermarket to get some tonic water. None left. Then I checked the spirit counter. No gin left.

Just get some water or fruit juice instead....

What gin?

Hendricks.

Most fruit juice, especially the tinned muck, is absolutely riddled with sugar, several teaspoons.

So it cools you for a couple of minutes, until your body starts burning the sugar. And at that point you start heating up again, only ten times worse, like a reentry vehicle entering the Earth's atmosphere!

Same goes for ice cream and ice lollies. I never touch the vile things.
