Your Dillo Day Fanny Pack

But if there's one thing you don't want to forget about on Dillo, it's food. Let's face it — for most of us, the only thing we're worried about consuming is alcohol (that's a food group, right?). But spending a full day drinking in the sun can be dangerous without some snacks and other edible must-haves in the mix. Here are the five fanny pack food fillers you need to have:

1. Mints or gum

Because nobody likes hot dog/beer/pizza/vodka breath.

2. Advil or Tylenol

Headaches suck in general, but the sun and loud music definitely won't help.

3. Crackers

They'll absorb that alcohol right up.

4. Granola bars

They're filling but not too heavy, so they make a good, quick hunger fix.

5. Something with protein

This can take the form of a protein bar, jerky, nuts, etc. Protein will curb your appetite for hours and help the alcohol absorb more slowly, meaning you won't get hit by that hangover at 2 pm.

Happy Dillo-Daying!
