I love candy, and I love sweets. And because of that I was like, ‘Okay, if I drink water it’ll balance it out.’ That’s kind of been my justification for eating desserts and candy.

Sweeney, who reveals she doesn’t drink alcohol, says her ideal night off includes the comfort meal.“Sometimes I’ll find myself making hot dogs and mac and cheese on a late night and watch a movie," she says.Her overall routine and water-drinking habit makes her latest collaboration with Bai a perfect fit. The campaign also honors the brand’s newest flavor, Pilavo Pineapple Mango, which is one of Sweeney’s favorites because of a previous project.“I absolutely love the Pilavo Pineapple Mango because when I was filmingWhite Lotus, I ate pineapples like every single day. So whenever I drink it, it makes me go back to how amazing of a time I had onWhite Lotus,” she says, adding that the Brasilia Blueberry flavor is another fave because she grew up eating blueberries “all the time.”The brand’s collaboration with Sweeney will be celebrated on June 14 at the Baidration Boardwalk event in New York City. As an actor, theHandmaid’s Talestar doesn’t get much face-to-face time with fans, so she says she' excited for the event.“I get to see people in passing or whenever I’m out, but being able to share an experience with people and hopefully get to know people more is definitely unique,” she adds.For any Bai fans who can’t make it to the Big Apple, they can participate in the Baidration Challenge (starting Wednesday), a social media campaign in which fans can share their daily Bai drink in efforts to show their “commitment to flavorful hydration all summer.”
