HOT WEATHER DRINKS

There is no known way of avoiding summer. Even at the North Pole it gets above freezing in the month of August-or perhaps it was January, the Poles are so contrary-and so the best thing to do is to drink beverages which will encourage metabolism and furnish an illusion, at least momentary, of autumnal comfort.
