Alcohol

If drinking alcohol, do so in moderation.

Alcohol can negatively affect every part of your body. Alcohol can contribute to overweight.

If you decide to drink, here are a few tips:

  • Make sure that if you have a celebratory drink following your tennis game, make sure you rehydrate first with water
  • Eat some food when you drink
  • Dilute alcoholic drinks with mixers or water, with plenty of ice
  • When you are hosting a party provide non-alcoholic drinks like iced-water, fruit juice, soft drinks, as well as food.
  •  If you happen to have a big night drinking alcohol, drink plenty of water before you go to bed. Also a sports drink the following morning can help rehydrate you.
