This is the time of the year-- EVERY YEAR--that I ask myself that question. I suppose the answer is that I haven't gone some other place. The secret to being as comfortable as possible for me is to stay as cool as possible and drink as much liquid as possible. Water , of course, is the logical choice, and it is a good choice. However, our gourmet world offers many options. Below find a couple of drinks that can be made at home--with a little help from Gourmet Gallery.
