Wine spritzers are the way to go.

Or do my absinthe spritzer:

• pint glass
• muddle some mint in 50-100ml elderflower cordial
• add proper original absinthe, 50ml
• add St Germaine elderflower liqueur, 50ml
• add lemon or lime juice, 50ml
• add ice
• fill to the brim with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda (7Up etc.)
• enjoy

super refreshing, low ABV(ish). For even less alcohol, swap absinthe with Absinthe NV.

XXXX is 100% trash. QLDer here and always drink higher ABV that's in better beers. Just drink water in between to stay hydrated.

XXXX which is 3.5%

That's Mid (strength), XXXX is 4.4 but was stronger for a long time. I don't care, I like Ales. Coopers uses brackish water, so it's rich in electrolytes, stepping around the problem, as long as you 'zebra stripe' (drink some damn water along the way) as the next gen says.

OK, so only drink radlers and "tinto de verano" got it.

Don't you want drinks that actually hydrate you though?

In france we drink a lot of beers above 7% :x

Just like with COVID, if people don't have the good sense to regulate their own behaviors, when it affects the general population, then the state should intervene. During the height of COVID people with serious conditions were turned away from historians hospitals because they were full of infected people that weren't vaccinated. That, in turn, drove occupancy limits and mask mandates.

Edit: autocorrect

You can still buy alcohol and drink it at home. I mean you can order as much alcohol as you like online, delivered to you the same day.

It totally makes sense to restrict alcohol in public during a heatwave.
