As we were told that Peters friend is on the large side, he may well be diabetic for all I/we/you know!

I don't think I recommended sugar ... besides for a diabetic beer is just as bad. All I recommended is an electrolyte replacement. I too have a bit of experience in heat related illnesses. Not from a medical stand point, but I have been part of developing electronic equipment specifically to monitor body core temperatures of workers in occupational settings and I have close ties with one the two biggest producers of electrolyte replacement drinks. Even in occupational settings were heat related illnesses are common, education is still far behind the problem.
It wasn't my intend to jump on you, BTW!
