This may also help some, although most members here have probably been around long enough to know anyway.

Hi,
Doesn't matter what you come up with some one comes up with something different, I believed the colour thing but have recently read that it is a myth, also read that more people have died from drinking too much water than from dehydration. That came out when a lost hiker was found dead from too much water and not exposure as expected. I had never heard of anyone die from drinking too much water. I know you have to take it easy when you get to water when you are desperate.
Water a little bit of which can spoil a lot of good Whisky. But then I am a teetotaller, so wouldn't know.
RegardsHugh

You have raised an interesting question here and in fact in the broader scheme of things too. For example how many things are there that were done for centuries and then we are suddenly informed that we shouldn't be doing this. We shouldn't eat eggs, milk and any number of different foods.
I have long been annoyed by people (mainly SWMBO) telling me I must drink more. By and large I drink (water) on demand: Demand of my body. This means that in winter I tend to drink less and in the hot summer months more; A lot more.
I would be guilty at times of not drinking enough, as a flushing process occurs as the result of drinking and this I'm sure is good for you, but I don't believe my water intake is particularly bad. I am aslo guilty of not replenishing salt as I add almost no salt to my food. There is another contentious issue as the common salt we buy is not a good salt. (Compare it to rock salt and even better Himalayan salt.)
If so much water is neccesary, I feel sure the nomadic tribes of North Africa (Tuareg, Bedouin etc) would have died out. Of course I acccept they had/have become acclimatised to their environment in a similar way those who live at altitude adapt.

Paul, it does sell a lot of bottled water.
When my FIL was in for an operation the nurses had this rigid attitude to how much water he had to drink. The surgeon told them it was a guideline only and was dependent on how much he took in from other sources such as food, coffee etc.Cheers,

Well you must be better at listening to your body than most blokes.... or blokettes that I know. I remember hearing somewhere that most people interperate the " I am thirsty" message from their brain as " I am hungry". I recon if you front up to a glass of water and you drink it like its the best thing ever I probably needed it.

Intresting. I have Sports drinks on hot days if I am near a shop. Or fruit saline at home. You can also get Gaterade powder that you add to water. Its not fizzy. Perhaps if you are really rehydrated then Gastrolite (for people with dehydration from gastro ) would be the go. You can get icy-poles(to put in the freezer) for kids that won't be made to drink sure a salty drink. (At the chemist).

Odd, here in the wrong hemisphere, it was 84° F (29° C) here today. The garage was 66° F when I opened the door and the temperature rapidly rose to 78° F (26° C).
Here in Southern California we're having a winter that is more like our usual Spring or autumn. All the while the middle of the continent is using their snow removal equipment to the fullest.

A little bit warm.
001c.jpgas you can see our last winter was mild as well, we usually have a couple of -7 & -8.

That's my village just out of the water.
Think I will build a boat and start collecting animals.

Ours contains recycled sewerage, treated and pumped below ground into the aquifer.

My old man always said "water was only fit for dogs to drink and wimmins to wash in"
I'm guessing he knew what the peons in our State Govt and at the Water Authority were up to!

My Shed/Garage.
Hi All, John,
Have 2 of those Thermometers that push whatever it is up, but stops at the Highest Temp.
Wed. I checked, late afternoon 44Deg.on one, & 45Deg. on the other.
Thur. was exactly the same as Wed.
Well, No, I didn't even give it a thought to go there, even early morning.
Books were good for awhile, then time to check the Emails + Forums, Had a Ice Cold Coffee, time for the Movie on GEM. Sleep sometime or other, Dog needed to water the Lawn, more TV, more PC, more I/Coffee, Dog again. In amongst all this I had to fill the Evaporate Cooler. No Aircon here.
Desperately hard, hard Day. Lost a couple Kilo's, so that was good.
LOVE THE HEAT.Regards,
issatree.
Have Lathe, Wood Travel.
