Today, I was telling my wife how being told to drink water all day when you're not even thirsty is "such a scam". Suddenly, I felt an excruciating pain in my abdomen. The ER had to give me IV fluids because I was so constipated from dehydration. The bill was over $2000. FML

Given that humans are 70-80% water (I forget the exact figure), it makes sense that we need to drink some to replenish what we lose. Were you not taught this in school?

Besides staying hydrated, you also need sufficient daily fiber in your diet to AVOID constipation....

yeah, that's not really how this works... dehydration is actually incredibly difficult state to achieve (if you can call it achieving) in humans, OK must have REALLY not liked the idea of drinking lol

So, you paid $2000 for a bag of water. Well, the prevention may not be a scam, but the cure certainly is (well, more of a price gouge than a scam, but you know, semantics).

A shame they don't live in a developed western country where subsidized universal healthcare is a thing

What if instead of the IV the ER would’ve used an enema on you. Wouldn’t that scare you more into drinking water in the conventional way? Just sayin’

Water you gonna do cooking forward? Drink more what are from now on. Seriously, carry a 32oz what are bottle and force yourself to drink it all day. You should have to fill it again half way through.

that's actually a myth. different people need different amounts of water depending on size and environmental factors.

The sensation of thirst is actually the first sign of dehydration. you are supposed to drink enough fluids so that you actually never really feel thirsty...

8 glasses of water is kinda a scam. Still then you're thirsty. Humans don't tend to overdrink (unless their holding their wee for a Wii), and if your thirsty you will seek out water (unless you mistake that for hunger). Too little can also cause blood clots and DVTs
