On an absolute tangent, every kid today has a water bottle. It's a constant priority for us when we leave the house, and when we arrive at the destination, it's "stack yours with the rest of the kids'". I never had a water bottle growing up. Was I just constantly dehydrated? Seems like it.
The more I age the more important hydration turns out to be. Gastric issues, joint pain, blood pressure, weight problems, kidney stones, bad breath, constipation.. and now brain issues too? Do yourself a favor, and start drinking a ton of water!
> start drinking a ton of water! But not too much as you don't want water poisoning!
I think it is an interesting finding and it would be interesting to hear more about the implications from someone in the field.
I only broadly understand this is some kind of peeking behind the curtain of some process that was not fully understood before

7 litters...
I recently upped my water intake and can report that my skin and mood feel better. I caffeinate with a strong coffee and 2 cups of tea in the morning, and around 12 I switch to pint glasses of water every 2 hours or so until 6-7 o'clock.

Some schools don’t allow children to leave the classroom to get a drink of water unless it’s at recess or between classes. So that’s why they carry water bottles nowadays.

Though I don’t remember not being allowed to drink something between class breaks ever being a problem growing up. Classes aren’t that long.
The other thing is that we mostly only had glass bottles back then, so of course kids wouldn’t carry those around.

...Not that much... 3ish liters spread out over the day is good. Too much water will strip your body of electrolytes and salt.

Yea 2.5-3l seems to be the proper amount. Only drawback is having to pee every 30 minutes.
Please correct me if wrong but this has almost nothing to do with broad human dehydration or hydration.
