Tag: Alcohol and heat

According to research from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it is impossible to cook out all the alcohol from a dish or drink through heating. Even after extended cooking times, a residual amount of alcohol will remain. This dispels the common misconception that heating an alcoholic beverage, such as mulled wine or a hot toddy, completely eliminates its ethanol content.

According to the CDC, heat waves are becoming more frequent and intense globally, making proper hydration more critical than ever. Choosing the right beverages is essential, as certain drinks can actively work against your body's efforts to stay cool and can worsen dehydration, which is why it's vital to know which drink is not suitable during a heat wave.
