    all this talk of water is making me thirsty
    Unless it ends in indictment or inoperable it's insignificant, so get over it

    Read a book last year "The body's many cries for water". The author claimed that many symptoms of illness are really just signs that we are dehydrated and that as we age, our sense of thirst when we need to drink diminishes. His suggestion was drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water a day. I tried it for about two months but it just seemed a bit much. Then a nurse friend told me that it may cause heart problems. Now I'm into seltzer - it seems to work for me. During exercise I use water with powdered gatorade, 1 1/2 scoops per quart. I was told during a wilderness first aid course that that is what to do as the suggested three scoops on the container contain more sugar than necessary.
