Staying dehydrated is a conspiracy started by Big Kidney Stone™ to create more kidney stones. If your urine is any darker than straw color you need to drink water.
Fr tho the hydration obsession is marketing wank you get you to buy Gatorade, fancy water, water bottles, etc. If you're thirsty, drink water. If you are doing exercise, drink extra water. If you're drinking alcohol, too bad, you're getting a hangover even if you drink a shitload of water because you're in your 30s now.
You laugh, but you should see how often I have to go take a leak.
Always with a water by my side. Always tyrannized by my bladder.
Then how about whenever I start washing dishes, soap in my hands, and I suddenly need to urgently go to the bathroom.
The struggle is real WAKE UP SHEEPLE geez...!
