I was there yesterday...
The water was littered with jellyfish
Reminder
The proper treatment for jellyfish stings is vinegar. Ignore anyone who tells you to pee on it; that's useless.
Voice of experience?
Thanks for the tip!
I'm filled with both!

People misunderstand the folk wisdom
The point isn’t to pee on the stung area of skin, it’s to pee on the jellyfish to teach it a lesson
But if you're male
Make sure to keep your unit far away from the jellyfish's tentacles. Unless you're into that sort of thing.
You are correct
but this is also futile, as jellyfish are kind of kinky, and don't really mind.

Am I alone in wanting pretty much anything BUT alcohol in this heat? Alcohol just makes me warmer and dehydrates me.
Alcohol probably cools you off
but makes you feel warmer in the process. Isn't that how it works? Something about blood vessel dilation in the skin.

That's exactly the mechanism, and it does make you feel warmer initially, but leads to lower body temperature. BUT, alcohol is also a diuretic, which is probably a larger effect.
Those stingy jellyfish
don’t even tip
And unlike ducks, they can't even put it on their bill
Changed "stingy" to "sting-y".
