Drink water instead of a nightcap:
You will thank yourself the next morning when you wake up with a clear mind and no sign of a headache. It is recommended to alternate a glass of water with each alcoholic beverage, but just drinking a large glass of water before bed after a night of drinking can make a significant difference in how you feel the next day.

Boost your immune system:
With lots of travel during the holidays, getting sick is almost inevitable if you don’t take the right precautions. There is a good reason doctors tell you to drink plenty of fluids when you are sick. Hydration can help you get over a cold more quickly and also avoid getting sick in the first place. Water helps to carry oxygen to your cells, and also works in removing toxins from the body. When you drink more water, the oxygen ensures properly functioning systems and helps toxins from building up. Drinking FloWater can give you added benefits because of its alkaline properties.
