Hydration is important.
I have been drinking tons of fluids lately. Mostly water. I’m peeing right now, in fact.
Yes, I have a 14h reminder to drink 1L of water, which is my entire daily intake. I have this reminder because without it I may well drink nothing at all and not even realize.
No and I’ve been trying to drink more lately. Good looking out OP 🤝
It’s super hot in here. I drink lots of water. Two 5 liter bottles (idk if they’re bottles anymore when they’re that huge) run out within 1.5 days.
No not yet, only had 3 of the 4L the doctor wants me to drink.
I drank coca cola and like half glass of water
I drink ridiculously large amounts of water… I should probably drink less.
You can get Hyponatremia from drinking too much water too fast. I don’t know about drowning.
It’s not about too much too fast. It’s being in a dehydrating situation while hydrating with only water without any salts in it. Mineral water for instance has electrolytes, so you would never get hyponatremia from drinking tons of mineral water.
So for instance in the army, when doing water supply, we’d add a spoon or two of salt to the 30 litre jugs of water.
And no, no drowning when you drink. We drown when we breathe in water, not when we drink it. Too different organs; lungs and the stomach.
Thirty degrees is fucking cold.
-20 degrees is fucking cold, 30 is hot
I’ll show you a real unit.
Two inches of American steel.
Not yet, but it’s not even 10 AM yet…
I had a very long and active day, and kept my fluids up. I can answer “I think so.” which I guess really means, “Probably not.”
I had a series of inexplicable migraines when I was 15. A doctor asked what I was doing before they started.
“Surfing.”
“How long?”
“Most of the day. Around 5-6 hours.”
“And did you drink any water?”
“Eh, nope.”
“You’re dehydrating yourself but probably aren’t realising it because you’re in water.”
I started coming in every couple hours to drink a litre. Problem solved. Felt like an idiot.
Not an idiot - you had an issue, you asked someone with better knowledge/training/experience, you listened and acted on their advice. Sounds pretty smart to me 👍
Probably stupid but I feel like I’m weird and don’t need as much water as the health officials recommend. Like I’m a more efficient model lol. I also get kind of bloated and gurgley if I have too much water. I’ll drink when I’m thirsty or if I know I’m going out for a while in warm weather.

Let’s hope your right, otherwise you’re going to experience kidney stones sooner or later. And also all the other effects of sustained dehydration which are no fun and some are irreperable
This is me too. I oddly have like 3 cups of water every day and have been fine. No abnormal labs or anything. Only drink when I am thirsty. Only increases in hot weather or exercise.
…no
grudgingly sips
I’m drinking my fourth beer of the afternoon as I write this. Does that count?
