[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1699744, member: 32753"] So, has anyone in this thread posted HOW someone properly hydrates? Allow me to share what we were told in our PCM: As a rule, you are suppose to drink 2/3rds your body weight in ounces; at the time of the PCM, I was 240lbs, so i should have been drinking 160 fl oz everyday. In addition, you should drink 4-6 oz of water for every 20 mins of exercise, which roughly equals one 16.7 oz bottle of bottled water. When you drink certain liquids, you should drink additional water to compensate for the amount of water used to process those liquids. The worst was for a can of monster, which required an additional 64fl oz to process ON TOP OF your daily requirement (2/3rds your body weight in ounces) and what you should drink while exercising/doing strenous activities (bottle of water every hour). This was all eye-opening to me, as I've drunken two gallons of water before and yet was still pissing Guiness draught; I began to think dark urine in heat was just normal, because SURELY I was hydrating. I wasn't even drinking what i was suppose to to function normally! [/QUOTE]
