Ah yes, the weekend. So many things to do and yet so little time to get them all done...why not just take some time to relax? Its too hot outside to do much and hydration is the best thing anyone can do in this heat. So, why not make yourself a nice cold drink and stay in the shade or in the air-conditioned room? Here are some good drinks (that pair very well with ice cold water...remember hydration is KEY) and are very easy to make, provided you have the supplies handy to make them.
