Well, it looks like Ron Burgundy was wrong all along.

Researchers in the UK found that milk is actually the perfect beverage to drink during a heat wave.

According to Metro, milk is 87% water and is packed full of electrolytes.

Dr Natasha Fernando, medical director at Medichecks, explained that the sodium in milk helps your body hold onto the water, and actually helps keep you hydrated even longer than water does.

And Dr. Fernando says that if you’re vegan or can't drink regular milk, soy milk works just fine as well.
