PSA: My wake-up call about hydration came during a heat wave.

Honestly, I got so dizzy I had to sit down right there. Now I sip water all day, even when I'm not thirsty.

Tbh, once you're that low on water, it takes forever to feel right. Sipping all day is the only way to stay ahead of it.

Yeah my buddy who does outdoor construction thought he was fine just chugging a couple bottles at lunch. Last summer he nearly passed out tying rebar, said his vision went all spotty and his knees just buckled. Turns out he was working in full sun for hours with basically no water in his system. The scary part was his pee was dark like tea even after that, doctor said he was way behind. Now he carries one of those big gallon jugs and forces himself to drink even when he doesn't feel like it.

Dark pee like tea can also come from vitamins, not just being short on water.
