The water was littered with jellyfish

The proper treatment for jellyfish stings is vinegar. Ignore anyone who tells you to pee on it; that's useless.

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.

but this is also futile, as jellyfish are kind of kinky, and don't really mind.
Another reason to avoid that area

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.
Yep

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.

Changed "stingy" to "sting-y".
