The Importance of Hydration-ism!

[BaileyisDarcy]

I just realised as I was walking home from school today how thirsty I was, then thinking about how thirsty I'd been that morning.

That led to me wondering just how long it had been since I'd had any water.

The answer: I don't know when the last time I had any water was. It's been at least a week.

So I get home, have a glass or two, jump on my laptop (it is still working, thankyou) and started writing this take.

So, after jumping on my laptop then successfully turning it on with no damage whatsoever done to it. I opened GAG, hit Share My Take, then sat and wondered.

How do I word this in a way that people will care?

How about.

Stinky pee. Dizziness. Fainting. Seeing snow. Cramping. Migraines. Lacking in blood pressure. Unusually dark piss. Unexplainable fatigue. And being extra cranky and nervous.

Those are just the mild symptoms.

You then go into:

Dry skin. Less appetite. Constipation. Delirium. Tongue swelling. Unconsciousness.

In extreme cases - Death.

You can bloody die.

Okay, so I myself am being very hypocritical by writing this take. I have spent over half my life dehydrated. My liver is most likely stuffed. Just wait until I start drinking the hard stuff.

But I have suffered the consequences. I have had heat stroke twice due to the day being over thirty, and me being an idiot and not drinking any water whatsoever. Let me tell you, heat stroke sucks. It makes you feel like shit. You want to throw up, but you can't because there's no juices to make taking what food you've eaten back up. It kind of just gets stuck. You're overheating, your mouth is dry with that sticky feeling. And once you get to that point, you can't drink any water because if you do, you're just gonna bring it back up. So small sips of lemonade are in order, which is horrid in my case because lemonade to me is like eating dirt. It's disgusting.

Alright so, how much water should the average human drink every day?

2 litres.

That's fourteen litres a week.

twenty-eight litres a fortnight.

fifty-six litres a month.

six hundred and seventy two litres a year.

That's a lot of bloody water.

So, this is a chart with hydration levels of... well... piss. Mine is like the one in the middle. So I s'pose I drink more than that guy over there with the fake tan coloured pee.

He must have been stuck in the desert for a few weeks if he drinks less than I do.

I don't have much else to say right now, so drink up everyone!
