Brady claims drinking lots of water prevents sunburns

Tom Brady doesn't need sunscreen, apparently.

In his new book, "The TB12 Method," which was released Tuesday, the New England Patriots quarterback credits all the water he drinks with preventing him from getting sunburned.

I think you should market your TB12 Electrolytes as a beauty product." I just laughed.

The book also breaks down various types of water:
