A detail really... To me all the fuzz about drinking lots water has one single effect: Crowded restrooms.

I beleive that when the body wants something to drink, it will let you know. Extra water will be rejected & want to exit ASAP.

But if it helps people avoiding sweet drinks (Coke etc) its excellent.

Was just a detaill. The other stuff you wrote was excellent.

I for one thought the same regarding water. Then I lived where the humidy was low (the desert). If you wait for the body to tell you you need fluids, it is too late. That is one example where the body can't warn you in time.

If you expound or use up fluids faster than the body can react to warn you, you will also find that you again are too late. The efficency of the body does have a tolerance to fluids being less than ideal, however there is point that when the fluids drop in the body, the efficency of the body drops.

For example in the desert, no sweat noticed, but yet it is being evaporated quicker than you can notice it forming. A cold drink sitting out in 104* sun and no condensation forming?

Drink plenty of water if you come to the desert or you won't be playing golf, you will be side lined.
