there is no evidence to suggest that moderate caffeine intake
(_456 mg) induces chronic dehydration or negatively affects exercise performance, temperature regulation, or circulatory strain in a hot environment (3).
however its known to cause sewious delewium.

I try to drink 2-3 bottles of water (i keep re-filling the medium sized mt.franklin bottle), its the only way i can keep proper track of how much water i drink. But i honestly dont know if its enough or not.

one needs approximately 2ounce of water to survive. perday

but to manage homeostatis e.g cellular resp. we need water.
as it is constantly being expelled from our system an easy way to check is to see how your water system is:
check how yellow your ....excretion is,
the more yellow it is the more dehydrated you are,
the more clear it the better for your body, it's not too acidic it's diluted.

i drink two sips perday btw

I read somewhere that you had to drink 1L for every 20kg that you weigh.

I only drink like 1L of water each day which is bad considering i weight 48kg. But i drink other fluids as well like coffee and fruit juice =)
I weigh 75kg. If I drunk 7.5 litres I'll be as big as a whale. :uhhuh:

HAHAHA. You take two sips of water to get the two ounces to survive?
Um... you do know that most foods contain water, right?

1. pee
2. look down
3. ???
4. profit

...how did you think we worked it out? :confused:
step 3.....
a: you see vag---> look into the toilet bowl
b. you see a massive bog---> prolly not the best time to assess urine, flush and repeat 1
c. you see your bf ---> you enjoy watersports: what colour is the urine? -> step 4
d. you see your penis -> you are not female.

Simple.

1. you get headaches, muscle tension, you're thirsty
generally you get dehydrated before you're thirsty. in severe cases weight loss, your urine has more solutes in it and is therefore heavier and darker


2. long term effects include kidney damage :)

If I don't drink enough water I get headaches and I get cranky.

You do have to train yourself to drink lots of water. It takes a bit of effort and a lot of toilet breaks but it's worth it.

Oh dear... okay that could be added to the possible reasons why I'm having random muscle twitches/spasms in my arms and legs (absolutely no idea what is causing them either).

I kind of just figured it would cause thirstiness or at worst heatstroke or something similar, which is why I was a little confused.
u iz hypocalcaemic

Agree about the training thing. Some people go on diets; I go on water binges. I can never keep it up properly for longer than a week (but trying lol). Rest of the time I get by on like 600ml a day maybe more if I've been exercising.
