But until randomised controlled trials are conducted, we can’t know for sure what effect a fan might have – and such trials are not easy to plan. Researchers would need to have everything ready to go as soon as a heatwave began. Even then, they might wait several years until the temperatures are just right. If it is just one beer, it might not hurt you. In various studies, researchers have made people exercise until they’re hot and then compared their recovery when they drank beer with or without alcohol. In one 1985 study of people exercising in a warm, humid environment, as you might expect, the “peak urine output” occurred after the beer which is not good. It shows the body is losing rather than retaining liquid. But compared with alcohol-free or low-alcohol beer the difference was surprising small.

But that doesn’t mean that only the elderly are at risk in a heatwave. Young babies and people with chronic health conditions are more likely to have issues aswell. So is anyone with mobility issues, simply because it’s harder to walk to the window to open it or to fetch drinks to replace the liquids lost through sweating. If it’s hot during the day and the night, it can be hard for the body to cool down at all. The European heatwave of 2003 is estimated to have killed at least 30,000 people; some figures put the total as high as 70,000. Of the 15,000 who died in France, 1,321 were under the age of 64.Here’s another sledding offshoot and one of the more famous extreme cold weather sports that was actually taken out of the Olympics due to its danger to competitors. You go diving headfirst down a hill using nothing but a tiny sled that resembles a skeleton (hence the name) to do it. You can use any sled you want, but for the love of all that is holy, please put on a helmet and a mouthguard. If only to reduce cleanup later on. Ski Biking View in gallery via lenzsport.wordpress.com So, you’ve gotten yourself a pair of skis but hate the idea of hitting the hill along with every other snow bunny, waiting in long lift lines, and contending with inebriated souls who class drinking in the snow as one of the primary cold weather sports. Then it’s time to attach yourself to a horse, a motorcycle, a set of dogs, or anything else that moves to find the unbridled fun (read: stark terror) of being drug along like a water skier over the unforgiving ground. Make sure you add in some jumps for good measure. Yukigassen View in gallery via travelalberta.com The amateur version of this is the polar bear contests held every year where grizzled old men tempt death by heart failure by leaping into the freezing water in their skivvies. However, for real cold weather sports enthusiasts, there is an upgraded version. All you need is insulated diving equipment and a desire to see sea life under the ice. Speed Flying AKA Blade Running View in gallery via infinitelegroom.com The breeze of a fan feels like welcome relief. Fans don’t cool the air. They move it around, with the aim of creating a breeze to increase the efficiency of the body’s normal methods of keeping cool via convection of heat from the skin and evaporation of sweat from the skin. Drinking plenty of liquid is the right thing to do during a heatwave: it’s essential to stay hydrated to protect the kidneys. But there is debate over whether that drink should be ice-cold or hot.

In the 1958 film Ice Cold in Alex, Sir John Mills’ character looks forward to escaping the desert and drinking an ice-cold beer. When he eventually arrives, he sits at the bar and is served a glass of lager. Downing it, he famously says: “Worth waiting for.”But there is one possible problem with these findings and that’s the the method used to measure the temperature. The brave volunteers were given rectal thermometers. As Ollie Jay, associate professor in thermoregulatory physiology at the University of Ottawa, has pointed out, the liquid from a cold drink goes straight to the stomach, not far away from the rectal thermometer. It’s little wonder, therefore, that the temperature appears to go down.
