Keep Yourself Hydrated

[caudio51]

I've been on some prescription decongestant (sp?) this past week. I started off drinking tons of water with it. Well the past few days have been crazy at work and I haven't been drinking much water. Combined with the heat outside I was getting some headaches. Finally dawned on me I was dehydrated.

So, your public service announcement, drink plenty of fluids. Especially if you are outside and/or drinking liquor.

Rule of thumb when riding motorcycles is once you feel thirsty you're already on your way to dehydration because you don't feel like you're sweating (if you are) because it evaporates so fast from the breeze. Every time you stop for gas or whatever it's advised that you drink at least 16oz of fluid, preferably water or a sport drink.

I carry me a big ass jug of water to work.

Most days I drink 5-8 glasses of water. I try to stay hydrated.

I drink a shittload of coffee and RedBulls throughout the work day.

Oh, you said hydrated? I thought we were talking about staying caffeinated. But I think I read recently that, although caffeine dehydrates you, soda and coffee DO count toward hydration.

First I have to find water that is drinkable in this desert...I try to drink 6 glasses a day and usually fail.:crytears:

I think the heat is breaking here! Very grateful for even ten degrees less. But it was that east coast humidity that was unbearable..Not the "Dry" heat we usually have.

REMEMBER also those decongesants fuck up your blood pressure..........

Yep. Just worked from 7:00 am to 12:30 on refencing the paddock and I tried to drink a lot of water while doing it. By lunchtime I was cramping up.

 

[MithShrike]

I drink a gallon of water a day. It's hot out here.

I drink around a gallon of iced tea (decaf) a day that usually keeps me going strong.
