Why Hydration Matters
Let’s be honest, as much as we love bourbon, staying hydrated can be challenging, especially during an event-filled weekend like SIP. Bourbon and other spirits can cause dehydration because they make your body expel more fluids than usual as it tries to remove the alcohol from your system. This leads to frequent potty breaks and increases the risk of dehydration symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, nausea, and general weakness.
The byproducts of fermentation, which give bourbon its delightful taste and aroma, also contribute to these unpleasant symptoms. If you don’t drink enough water or hydrate in other ways while consuming, you’ll increase your chances of dehydration symptoms.
The Importance of Hydration
While drinking water is essential, it’s not always enough. For a quick and effective solution, consider vitamin IV hydration. Vitamin IV hydration, sometimes called “IV drips,” delivers vitamins, electrolytes, and fluids directly into your bloodstream while bypassing the digestive system, to replenish and hydrate your body much faster than drinking water alone. This can help you bounce back quickly and get back to enjoying the festivities.
So can you just drink water? Yes! Is that enough? Well, maybe. It’s up to you, what you’re comfortable with, how fast you want to feel better and how much you like water (on the rocks is not enough!)
5 Quick Tips to Stay Hydrated at SIPosium
- Drink Moderately: Remember, the bourbon won’t run out! Make sure to take breaks between drinks. Pace yourself and enjoy each sip without overindulging.
- Take Sips of Water Throughout the Day: With every pour, tasting, or cocktail, make it a habit to take sips of water.
- Start with a good breakfast: Sitting in your room with just coffee doesn’t count!
- Choose a Lower-Proof Bourbon: This may be tongue in cheek, but don’t stick to cask-strength options all day
- Schedule In-Room IV Hydration:
- Scheduling private in-room IV hydration for early morning or late evening helps ensure you’re well-hydrated and ready to enjoy each day of the SIP weekend.
