Grillin' Out 101
Water not alcohol

Tri-state grill masters are gearing up to light the coals this fourth of July.
Be sure to drink plenty of water when grilling out.
In this KHQA Safe Family Health report, water is the best way to stay hydrated while celebrating outdoors...it helps you avoid muscle cramps, heat stroke, and heat exhaustion.
Fitness Instructor Lee Ann Sims says drinking too much alcohol and sugary drinks can cause dehydration even though you're taking in fluids.
Dehydration symptoms include increased thirst, dry mouth, irritability, clammy skin, and an inability to stand or walk.
I'm amazed I could grill out all these years without this important Health tip !!!
