    “Only 1% is available for drinking.” Me: suspiciously looks at my bottle of water
  • @adollfordolls
    I went about 48 hours without water or any drink (I was in a very stressful situation) and had zero hunger pangs, the thought of drinking disgusted me, and I'm pretty sure I had a migraine for a straight 10 hours at least. It twas fun. sarcasm

    Why don't we just add pepper to the water to balance out the salt?
  • @lottieplaysnintendo
    When you’re watching this because you’re currently trying to commit suicide by dehydration.. and you want to be prepared so you looked up the symptoms..
  • @AbiZolanski
    Yeah if you don't drink anything or eat anything at all your pee comes out brown and it hurts really bad.

    Drink water! Here's my story: One day, I woke up at exactly 6 AM, not from an alarm. I woke up feeling extremely sick I ran to the bathroom and threw up. Threw up for 4 hours! It was around 10:30 when I stopped. I remember looking in the mirror and seeing I had barely any color in my face. I went to the emergency room and had to get an IV. And it was all because I was dehydrated. I did drink water, but not enough to keep me healthy. But the reason that I threw up that specific day was because: the day before, I got a drink at the mall. It was a big drink, but I didnt drink all of it. I drank around one fourth of it. So the next day I threw up, because I drank a lot of liquid suddenly. Dont be like me
