The real question is:
“8 glasses of water a day” is NOT specific! What kind of glass? NO ONE TELLS YOU!
That’s exactly what I was always thinking
I believe an average glass of water is considered 9 oz.
I've always been told 8×8- 8 glasses of 8 ounces.
two shots of vodka
Wendigo Dragon 8x8-8 is just 8x7.
If you must poop, then you gotta pee too.

@@helix2331 Now it is 70, happy?
Daedlus No! WHY WOULD SOMEONE DO THIS
People can lose their sense of thirst, when they're getting older.
So, it's not THAT on-the-nose as Adam tries to put it.
We don’t drink Gatorade because it’s “Rehydrating” we drink it because it’s sweet
It's salty more than sweet. Salt makes you thirsty. So it makes you drink more.
SirDistic no it helps u retain water
It's just drinkable sweat. It restores electrolytes. Not really for thirst.
Salt is lost in sweat, and a lack of salt can decrease the rate at which neurons fire, as electrolytes, such as salt, conduct electricity when dissolved in water. Slower neurons can lower reaction speed, ability to strategize, and ability to communicate. The sugar in sports drinks provide an immediate and easily accessed form of energy. The water is the least important part of sports drinks, besides needing something to suspend the particles in so it's not dust.
The electrolytes in it quench you're thrust in the moment but make you're thirst worse later on

Drinking a lot is good (not too much) but you dont have to.
Drinking a lot is good (not too much) but you dont have to.
We had to call an ambulence for my mother because she drank almost 6 liters of water in a day, cause she was sick and wanted to 'sweat it out'. This was extremly dangerous, she had a serious risk of dying, if we wouldn't have brought her to the hospital in time.
i hope your mom is doing well now, God bless y'all.
Doesn't that cause water poisoning?
Yeah, too much of anything could kill someone. Being sick makes us all do ridiculous/dangerous things, thinking just isn't clear, hope she's doing better.
Hope she's okey, but six liters of waters was kind of overkill mate
Man that sucks
To be fair, if you’re at freaking football practice, you ARE going to feel thirsty every 20 minutes or so.
And that means you should drink. The message was not stop drinking water, it was drink when you are thirsty
I kept telling my mom that I just drink water when I'm thirsty. Wanna know what my mom told me?
Exactly what the coach lady said.

"That's crazy."
Sasha The MMD Potato Same! I keep telling her that you don't need to drink 8 cups of water everyday, just because you read something off it on the internet.

Side note:
Heat Stroke is something that often times can feel unnoticeable on an individual. In southwestern Arizona, the most dangerous thing you can die from during July is attending Fourth of July events and not remembering to sit in the shade every once in a while. Fire crews are always on duty during 4th of July events for reasons *other than fires caused by fireworks.* EMT's are always on active duty and, in July, are called in on heat strokes far too often.
But, Adam is right. Drink when you're thirsty. If you live in an area where July temperatures reach over 120 degrees (Fahrenheit (because your pool would be over the point of boiling if it were Celcius)), remember to take frequent breaks in the shade and cool yourself down. Nothing sucks more than the *bill* of being transported to the ER with IV's stick in you. And believe me, you would prefer the IV's over the hospital bill. Especially if your insurance doesn't cover it.
Something I learned during medical training is if you drink when you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated.
@@calvindreesman4951 depends on the amount of water. I usually drink about 2.5 bottles of water when im thirsty
Not completely related but my I went a a field trip where we had to stay outside for about 4 hours. Our teacher said don’t worry, you won’t get heat stroke. Then one of my friends got heatstroke and went to the hospital.
Of course, hospital bills, which are among the highest in 1st world countries! Adam has a video on the real reason healthcare is so expensive.
funny that adam also has a video exposing the overpriced medical bills
Wait.. So more people have died from water than weed??
Yeah they have
Considering no one has died from weed yes. Lol.
More people have died from unicorns than directly from weed.
Funny, there is a Russian song «It’s not the beer that kills people, it’s the water». But the reasons presented are different.

My problem came from being consistently dehydrated. I forgot what it felt like to be thirsty, so I never felt the need to drink.

"TREASON!"
So then just eat when youre starving, only follow basic health guidelines when youre sick, and only shower/wash your hands when people start avoiding you
I drink a lot because i like the taste of water
Me to!
you mean mineral water.
I have SIADH type c and chronic hyponatremia. I drink a lot because I have bad kidneys that make me thirsty all the time. I also drink a lot because I have anxiety and drinking reflex calms me down.
@@Majestic469 actually normal water also has a taste because your tongue gets used to the amount of salt that is in your saliva or water that's why you don't taste your saliva because your body is used to it. Even though water doesn't have a taste it still tastes different than your spit so you can taste it.
yeah, but I really love mineral water
8 glasses of water makes me feel so bloated...Im down with the "drink when Im thirsty" method
A lot of people have died from water by drinking too much water, it's called drowning duh
I know someone who with your name
Kenny Anderson they probably mean throughout the day not just in one sitting
I’ve never followed the drink 8 glasses of water a day rule because I thought ‘’Why not just drink when you’re thirsty’’ AND I WAS RIGHT
You should learn about the "breath when you suffocate" method
A very recent study from Harvard suggests 4-6 8oz (1 cup) glasses of water a day. Of course drinking when you’re thirsty is the right way to go for most people, but for anyone with mental illnesses or developmental disorders that make it difficult to sense and correctly interpret the signals your body sends (autism and adhd are both examples of this), or if executive function problems make you forget to act on those signals (major depression is an example) it’s very easy to not REALIZE you’re thirsty, or to forget to get up and get a drink when you are. So, in that case it could be helpful to count glasses and if it’s been a few hours since you had water, have another cup.
I'll tell you more, most people wouldn't feel thirsty just because of all the stress we receive constantly. I might just be overwhelmed with all the things I have to do, so I wouldn't really notice I didn't eat or didn't drink or even go to the bathroom. The problem isn't dehydration, the problem are long distance problems, such as blood clogs, high pressure because blood isn't fluent enough, heart diseases as a consequence.
8 glasses of water throughout a day wouldn't ever cause u a problem. Cases Adam described here happened because athletes were drinking more than 8 glasses and in shorter span of time.
And yes, it should be water, a simple water, not gatorade, coffee, tea or what have u.
"A recent study from Harvard"

Sit down unless you've got that study bud, because the ones found on Google say to drink when thirsty.

Yea there is a thing called over hydration it’s drowning

Thank you for all the likes don’t get over hydrated 👍🏻
Yeah there are a lot of situations where this doesn't count. You have people who are constantly thirsty and should thus drink like 3x the amount compared to other people and people who rarely feel thirst but should really not forgot to drink water (elderly and some individuals). Some people (myself included) need to regularily drink water against migraines/headaches even if you're not feeling thirsty at that time because you'll regret it if you don't.
Thank you! This. Exactly. I have a medical condition where I have to drink a lot more water than people ever think is healthy when I tell them how much I need to just function. If my primary care and specialist doctors never complained about my water intake...why would I care about what others have to say, people n*not* in charge of my care? Especially when most people I know don't drink water on a regular basis.
Drinking a lot of water can cause migraine
@@CLJlovesmal There are medical conditions where people should not go out into public spaces because they could die. General advice like this is nullified when talking about conditions
@@werewolfchampion drinking little water is worse, believe me
Feel thirsty and have dry mouth all the time is called diabetes.
Two important things from someone in Arizona:
- You will absolutely have to drink more water in the Arizona desert than you had to in colder climates even if you don't go outside much, because it's just that much drier here. It's kind of a brutal adjustment for someone used to any other climate. Your thirst response will need to adapt for the first couple days.
- Important though it is, more water won't save you from heatstroke if you're out in the sun all day, and heatstroke can absolutely be deadly. Stay in the shade whenever possible.
People in temperate climes know this effect as "summer". It's hotter and you drink more because you sweat more and get thirsty more^^
@@maukschilol people in the desert call this "any season"
@@maukschilol what about desert summer, those aren’t always fun
@@Haiesta my comment was more to the point: it's warm you drink more. Happens every summer in temperate climates. In the desert / extreme hot climates? Well you better have a lot to drink on hand... Or you're ficked
But it is okay to exercise take a little break to drink water then get back to exercise?
Did you know that 100% of drownings are caused by water...
...Take that into consideration next time you sip your precious liquid.
Im never drinking water again
You can drown in any liquid though, not just water. The safest thing to do is not drink anything at all! Or, if you have to, make sure you're drinking solids.
well...ima just stick to my Gatorade now...
FALSE! Your sorrows can also drown you.

If you don’t get thirsty enough, you should probably drink every couple hours anyway. People make dehydration a bigger deal than it is but if you don’t drink for an entire day than that’s just not good at all
I don't feel thirsty ever. As a child I twice ended up severly ill due to not drinking for days at a time.
My parents 'solved' this by allowing me to become addicted to cola.
As an adult I drink a lot of tea and check the colour of my urine.
So if I followed the 'drink when you're thirsty' advice I'd just die.
I always heard that by the time you’re thirsty you’re already somewhat dehydrated. I also heard that if you’re craving something salty, that means you’re thirsty. 🤔
Being thirsty is the natural, biological way your body alerts you that you need to drink something. The idea that you should drink enough to never be thirsty is just nonsense invented by drinks companies, with no scientific basis whatsoever.
Did you know water contains dihydrogen monoxide? That's why we're so addicted to it! And that's not all - the addiction became so bad, that if you don't consume dihydrogen monoxide - you'll die! Overdosing on it will cause you to die aswell!
Dihydrogen monoxide literally means 2 hydrogen a and 1 oxygen. So it's Jst water

+Caboose Banana i put the reply as an acknowledgement to that
I'm a runner and a heavy sweater. I've lost 8-9 pounds on long runs, even though I had plenty to drink. On my first marathon, I dehydrated and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. Second marathon, I was a lot more diligent about hydrating in the days leading up to the race, and everything was great.
I'm not shooting for a set number of glasses per day. Essentially, I'm drinking when I'm thirsty. However, it seems like drinking more causes me to be more thirsty.
But if i drink only when thirsty I sometimes only drink a glass a day..? I even got crystals in my kidneys
Take care of your kidneys... Just keep on drinking water lol
@@bagel20yearsago97 Yeah and more water than Adam's dumbass suggests.

I really think this doesn’t take into consideration various medical conditions.
I’m pregnant. And I’m rarely thirsty but I rarely drink water. And let me tell you. I pay for it. Excess Braxton Hicks, lightheadedness, etc. all sorts of problems. I stay hydrated and those things go away.
I don’t always agree with all of these videos because they tend to be over generalized.
This is definitely a video that assumes people are otherwise healthy.
But if you have irritable bowel syndrome don’t listen to this, you need water to stay healthy with that condition
Or IBD I have Ulcerative Colitis but 8 glasses might be extreme unless you have a flare.
Dont listen to this in general. All depends on where you live and what you do. If you live in a hot area you should definitely drink more then just when you are thirsty.
You need water to stay healthy regardless
The God himself yeah no. If you live in a warmer place you will get more thirsty and such you will want to drink more

A very informative video, but something to consider is that some people (such as those with mental health issues or disorders) can have difficulty discerning when they are thirsty or hungry. Telling someone to drink more water can be necessary, it all depends on the individual and their needs.

Because they and you are just as immature.
It really depends on your environment, exercise and what other foods or drinks you have. When I moved to a humid climate I wasn't used to drinking more water so I used to pass out, my aunt told me to drink more water and it fixed it.
It's worse when you can't feel thirst or if you feel it in a really limited way, which is my case. If I don't excersise and just go about my day as usually, I can say that my thirst level is always the same and it's like really low. I know I'm chronically 'dehydrated' (not to an extreme level, but I know that I drink too little), but don't really feel it. So I guess the 8 glasses thing would work for me if I weren't so forgetful.

What was said in the video is definitely true, especially the point about drinking when you're thirsty. Important to add on is that there are folk who can have a hard time recognizing thirst. For folk like that, I've been there and what helped me a lot was getting a larger, colorful water bottle that I carry around. If it's on my desk or in my hand constantly, I find it's easier to spot and remember my own thirst. Also, the video says water a lot, but juice or soda works too. If you find those easier to drink or remember than water, any liquid is better than nothing!
Juice and soda are still mostly water anyway. The only potential downsides to them are the extra sugar you get from them.
I once experienced severe dehydration. It didn't happen because I wasn't drinking enough, it happened because I was incredibly sick and spent two days shitting, pissing, and vomiting out every ounce of water I put into my body. I could barely walk, I was mostly crawling around the house, and at one point I passed out in the kitchen and I was only okay because my dad was around. It was probably the worst experience of my life.
The fact that people think that they're going to have an experience like that, that happened during THE WORST SICKNESS OF MY LIFE, simply by not guzzling down as much water as they physically can, is insane.
DE Climax Exactly! I am a very stupid and forgetful person, so I forgot to drink anything for four days. I didn't feel or even think about being dehydrated until I began vomiting while moving into my new apartment. I kept telling my mom that I couldn't walk or move stuff without the literal gut-wrenching feeling, but she dismissed it. I was hospitalized, for I couldn't keep any shit down. Did you know a f*cking IV bag (just the bag, not the solution) is $250? I'm still freaked out about the whole visit; I usually just drink around a liter a day. Hate being sick, I'm sorry that you had to go through that. I'm sure you had it worse than me, I don't know why I'm "sharing my experience" here. Have a super great day!
DE Climax your condition was dysentery lmfao
That sounds horrible. I started feeling tipsy when I read this, and I'm lying in bed...
I think that was cholera
dude same. i had gallstones last year and by the time i went to the ER they had to stick me 5 times before the iv went in i was so dehydrated. i was vomiting even though i hadn't eaten anything in at least 9 hours. not quite as bad of dehydration as you had, but the level of dehydration i had, combined with literally the worst pain ive ever had in my entire life, sustained for 48 hours, was the most awful experience i can remember. when they finally decided i needed surgery i wasnt even scared because it was either i die from surgery or they take out the problem, either way the pain would stop. dehydration is not something that happens in the absence of existing health conditions or illness unless you fail to listen to your body.
As an exercise physiologist, yes your research and statements are correct. However, people are much more likely to suffer from kidney stones, heat exhaustion, or even worst heat stroke than they are from over drinking. So this myth debunk can be very dangerous...

That's my favorite drug
But often i find that drinking more leads to myself just feeling better overall. It's some days around 8 cups, but the amount of times i go to the toilet tells me that's probably a littlr much. It's better for the kidneys because they have more liquid to filter particles into urine, decreasing risk of kidney stones. When taking creatine and working out, it is important as more is being used for your muscles. Drinking more decreases appetite, decreasing the challenge of weight gain. There are benefits to drinking more. Just don't overdo it.
It' also helps with weight loss. I need to lose a LOT of weight and i was struggling with eating less but i now have an alarm that goes off every hour from 9am to 9pm and i don't eat hardly any snacks any more and the same meal that that i would have eaten a week prior to starting and still feeling a bit hungry now fills me half way through it.
@@deathofthemagi that's great to hear! How much are you losing?
There are some flaws in this thinking. I for one, have a poor thirst drive and can go all day without feeling thirsty. Which is why it is important to push fluids. Of course I don't think it's necessary to drink large amounts of fluid, but drinking throughout the day does wonders. I have two 24 oz bottles of water I drink and feel fine at the end of the day. It helps flush out toxins in the body and keeps you from over eating. There are a lot of benefits to drinking even when you're not thirsty. Just don't overdo it. Too much water will overwork your kidneys. It's even worse with caffeinated beverages.
Except that’s a really specific condition and most people don’t have that.. and you get water from food
@classic max pretty sure the previous comment did write down some condition, and there's something called water in food. You don't eat dehydrated foods 24/7.....
@@catsballs9657 well sure but even food with water in it isn't going to hydrate you as much as if you just drank all the water in the food - think of eating food with no water in it: would that be neutral or dehydrate you? the answer is it works dehydrate you, because basically all good has components which naturally lower effective hydration like salt, which partially counteract the water in them. Also regarding thirst sensitivity - like any sense people are different in how accurate it is! generally a good idea to experiment with drinking a LITTLE bit more or less then you feel like when you're thirsty - if you notice you consistently feel better when you drink more than you previously did then you should continue doing that, but still based on when you feel thirsty
@@janseta5162 are fresh fruits and vegetables extremely hard to obtain??unless you are extremely picky and can only ingest chicken nuggets and fries, eating a balanced diet will get you partial hydration. And it's literally a given that you can see the colour of your piss to see how hydrated you are.
@@catsballs9657 I didn't say that foods don't hydrate you at all lol, just that if you're thinking of eating food with water as equivalent to drinking that much water you'd be less hydrated as you think.
How much water you should drink varies from person to person. Age, activity, weight, metabolism... they all play a part. I'll say this though, it's better to be hydrated than dehydrated.
kennedy m. It's better to be dehydrated than over hydrated as when you're dehydrated you know that it's time to drink
Lorenzo Chacon I don't mean to drink water like there's no tomorrow, but the body literally runs on water. If you have too much in the system, you pass it out.
The point of the video was that marketing and false studies make people think they should drink more than they should, and that it is best to just drink when you're thirsty.
Bob Birdsong I get that. But I'm also making the point that it's safer to be hydrated than to not be.
It's almost impossible to get over hydrated since you have to actually put in effort to do so. Not saying getting dehydrating happens out of nowhere but it is way more common.

The problem with Adam's "advice" is that it isn't advice at all. It's a debunking response to the "dehydration" argument. But it _isn't_ advice on what is a *healthy* amount of water for each individual, to maintain optimal body processes. And *spoiler alert*: waiting until you think you feel thirsty is potentially just as dangerous advice.
True. There’s such a thing as heat stroke for when you spend lots of time in the sun. You don’t feel thirsty because you’re that thirsty.
The same thing can happen with hunger.

But I love when I use the restroom and my urine is clear and I flush with the satisfaction that I'm hydrated as f*ck!
Dude same
meikoblock Usually, you're urine is only crystal clear if you drink a lot of alcohol.
XXscrublordXXX na alcohol itself does not directly affect the color of your urine. The color, whether it's dark or clear, depends on how hydrated or dehydrated your body is.
meikoblock Nice job using the copy and paste function.
XXscrublordXXX when in doubt use your sources :)

Neat video. And I agree with most of it. That said...
Heat stroke, is calling your bluff. Primary way for prevention is drinking enough water to ensure you keep sweeting so your body can cool off. Workers have a tendency to ignore the thirsty feeling, and push through till they either have a break, or the end of shift comes. This is backed by science too and effects 1000's of workers every year, many who end up needing hospitalization.
Last week tonight Adam ruins everything team-up episode we need
Got up in the middle of this video to grab a water because I felt thirsty. I'm proud of myself.
Your music is gay
And you use bots you fucker
BASIC HUMAN FUNCTION, WUHU!
+Z7Games lol 😂
this video made me thirsty

This shows format and info-injections combine to make me likey
The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine determined that an adequate daily fluid intake is:
About 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day for men
About 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids a day for women
Note this includes water from food, such as fruit.
Your fluid intake is probably adequate if:
You rarely feel thirsty
Your urine is colorless or light yellow
Colorless is really bad and definetly a sign for drinking too much, might be diabetes too (not sure about that though).
It should definetly be yellow-ish
@@jankisi what's bad about it?
"No wait! The truth about concussions is really interesting!!"
LMFAO
(low key pls make it)
Why not ruin dieting? (example: Diet Sodas are JUST as bad for you as the regular sodas, potentially even worse in some cases, the sugar substitutes are worse than actual sugars. This is why i stopped drinking Soda and just stuck to water instead.)
+JaxfirebusIsBack1 dieting is completely fine (otherwise, how would people lose weight?) but sure, diet drinks can be worse than the sugar versions.
JaxfirebusIsBack1 diet soda actually makes you wanna eat more!
Diet soda is good for diabetics though :)
Another example is how gluten-free foods aren't healthy for the average person, and were only intended to be substitutes for foods with gluten for the people with Celiac Disease.
diet soda is good for diabetics to avoid elevated blood sugar levels, it is bad for diabetics because it triggers the body to think there is sugar, leading to low sugar levels and feelings of hunger, causing them to eat more and put on more weight.
1:12 I love that surprise smile
Drinking only when thirsty may stave off dehydration, but that's not necessarily the correct amount of water to drink for maximum health.
You're forgetting you also get a lot of your water from the food you eat, as much as 20% - as long as you're drinking water when thirsty and eating food, you'll be fine
Expect it literally is. It's your bodies way of indicating when you need to drink. Unless there is a heat wave or you have a medical condition that messes with it you can just drink when your thirsty and with meals.
Gatorade is just high fructose corn syrup and only 1% of you daily value of potassium. I work at convince store and sell way too much of this sugary Windex.
tbh windex is slower
Ashton Colby convenient store not convince
Ashton Colby sugary windex... it is not completely unhealthy
Yep. My undergraduate human anatomy teacher (the guy essentially screening students for medical school) would always go on rants about what was in beverages. He would say that sports drinks are primarily sugar water with just a touch of salts. The salts are actually lower in concentration than they are in a healthy body, so you're diluting all the excess sodium from your diet. The problem is that you don't get the other salts you need like potassium. That's why I alter my own drinks at home. I make big pitchers of Mio and add in pink himalayan salt and salt substitute which is just potassium salt. It tastes a tad salty, but if I get thirsty I can just drink regular water.
yeah people make sugar/salt water at home. if you add the right amounts, it tastes sweet enough but gives your body salt and sugar, both of which it needs
Really, anyone who had at least a biology class in high school should understand the importance of drinking enough water, not gatorade... Too little water intake while eating processed and salty foods most people eat these days will cause deposits to accumulate and cause kidney stones.
Well the video didn't say that you shouldn't drink water. Both under consumption and over consumption are bad for the kidneys (and the whole body) .
and anyone who had at least common sense knows the body isn't stupid its a very sensible piece of equipment that can measure what it needs, you know normal well functioning bodies experiment a phenomenon called "thirst" that tells you "hey moron im kind of dry" so how much water you need? maybe as much as your body(yeah that old thing that has been since the dawn of the man to keep you alive) tells you, in the case your body isnt working correctly filling with so much water can damage it too, i mean you took biology class so im sure you know what happens to your cells if you go too crazy on your H2O
Obviously over consumption of water is a whole different game ,however dehydration occurs way more frequently then over hydration in the real world, Why or how you may ask ? Because the body mistakes the signal of being thirsty with being hungry and most cases people will eat instead of drinking a glass of water because they think they feel hungry. By the time you're thirsty you''re already lacking fluids. There's quite a difference between surviving like our ancestors did and being healthy. The average life expectancy from those days isn't even comparable to today's and we have much more diseases and antibiotic resistant bacteria.
ibanez1403
you can always eat watermelons or soup :V, problem is ppl eat hot dogs, chips and other dry stuffs, but if you eat what you should eat you get a lot from food too
this is perhaps the most scientifically proven thing I read. If only my doctors knew about this.
Tamara really made this episode for me. My favorite guest so far.
Yea some people get the wrong idea like oh I can drink whenever I'm thirsty but instead of water they have sugary sodas instead and that's how they get hydrated and people think you need eight glasses per day
maybe you should ruin the wage gap. you guys could make a difference in informing the masses about the lie of the wage gap.
+GodTierLotion they actually promote the lie in their video about revealing your salary
they did do one on wages.... it's not on CH but it was on the tv show
BJKORB
yeah i know. what a waste of such a wide platform.
Don't get it twisted, C.H. are still card carrying members in The Cult of Feminism. They're about the truth only when it's Appoved Truth™.
With how misinforming this video is, and how much some of CollegeHumour's videos, as joked about themselves, make people think of Buzzfeed.. CollegeHumour would most likely enforce the lie.
you put the kids in danger by teaching them American Football. Far more football players die of concussions than "overhydration".
I hate those kids who have PTA soccer moms for parents and have them enrolled in half a dozen sports and they come back talking shit when they have half a brain
ill hev yuu nowe I dnt hve bad brian frmm sportz gaem
That wan't really the point of the video, it just said that you don't need as much water as you think...
But rugby and international footballs is fine? Per player more people get concussions and serious injuries more often in both of those sports than American Football. The issue with American Football isn't concussions, it's repeated minor trauma to the head over time, which is why the cornerstone of any good program is safety over aggression. The only issue with that is crazy programs in Socal and Texas, they are fucking nuts down there.
This episode was mainly about football being bullshit
To quench thirst put a slice of lemon in the water. I’ve worked outside in the Texas heat and couldn’t drink enough water. I was told to put a slice of lemon and that did the trick.
1:15. Literally me when I meet someone that I once saw as a baby and they recognize me
Yeah, it's incredibly fucking difficult to die from water intoxication.
So ... drowning?
That's not so much the water killing you, but the lack of air to breathe.
TheOneLichemperor Oh, so it's not murderer that strangles you and kills you, it is the lack of air to breathe.
Try that one out in court... =P
+Robot404 so water intoxication is where the stomach, unable to process any more water (I think the threshold is about 8L), starts offloading pure water into the bloodstream, to get more space to process the water. When this occurs in high amounts the now water rich blood in the brain swells brain cells, therefor causing the tissue to swell. This swelling against the hard skull casing bruises the brain causing hemorrhaging, as well as a brutally painful death with immense pressure on the skull. It is widely considered one of the worst deaths possible, contrasted to drowning, one of the more pleasant.
"you don't need 8 glasses of water a day, just drink when you're thirsty."
ok, so drink 16 bottles a day, got it.
You might have diabetes then
If it's a hot day I'll, at most, drink seven bottles of water the entire day. 16 glasses really seems like way too much.
cortster12 guy's calm down, please.I really doubt that i have diabetes, it was just a joke about me drinking alot of water; i don't ACTUALLY drink that much.
+Sandra King These people can't take a joke, lol.
So what if he did have diabetes?
I have played a lot of travel soccer in my day and I could almost confidently tell you drinking gives people cramps
Just because you don’t feel thirsty doesn’t mean you aren’t thirsty. There are plenty of times where I don’t feel thirsty but when I start drinking water, I find myself gulping it down.
Seems you have problems understanding.
To hell with water, Gatorade, and all other sports beverages. What do I drink? Brawndo Juice! Why? Because it has electrolytes.
_Brawndo: The Thirst Mutilator!_ It's got electrolytes.
***** Remember, water is for toilets.
Good one, this is a misleading video and gives misinformation. Maybe we have reached the idiocracy era. According to this video er might as well ditch water and start drinking brawndo. What will they say next smh
Brawndo has what plants crave
LOOK UP phenoh 7.4!
As a cross country runner, I can assure you that having anything less than 60oz of water on an active day, especially a meet day is absolute death...
In terms of those who don't vigorously exercise, then this is all correct. However, people like me who run in excess of 5+ miles a day, from straight runs to split repeats at race pace, 8 glasses should be a minimum by 2pm.
Yes people who exercise should be drinking upwards of a gallon a day
This video also doesn't apply in some cases if you're using drinks that "dehydrate" you such as coffee and soda. I've gone to the ER due to Vision/Hearing loss caused by dehydration after a day of only eating very salty potato chips and coffee. Thirst is only so accurate and there's ways you can fool it.
So you're telling us you drink stuff before knowing beforehand it's a dehydrating drink? That's like saying, this first aid kit only applies in some cases. I used this rust covered bandage i found on the ground somewhere and now i got a huge infection. Also i find it hard to believe you had to go to the ER after "a day" of eating chips and drinking coffee. Seems to me you just live an unhealthy lifestyle in general and that one day just pushed it over the edge.
Nice one!
But what sadly was missing: Thrist rule does not neccessary work if you old, a child (not really sure about this one, read it one time) or very focused on something. Then you should drink without thrist.
Hydrating is important, in Arizona. You actually can get pretty dehydrated in Arizona because of how dry and hot it is.
"Its true, over hydration is dangerous"

02:58 is that the guy from the HBO series Succession ?
I learn more from Adam than school has ever taught me
Talk less
Drink more
Don't let them know that you feel like peeing anymore.
Bodyslambear Art That depends. Who's asking?
The greatest city in the world.
FandomTrash and we just became best friends
FandomTrash Ay yo yo yo what time is it?
DRINK TIME
( like I said )
Bodyslambear Art didn’t think this would be a thing but now that it is I feel so proud of myself
"As long as you have free access to water"
I'm Irish
FUCK
you don't need water, just anything that you can drink that hydrates you
I want free access to potatoes:(
beer won't hydrate him.
+\Nexturz/ even your own pee
***** wut?
I'm from rural Australia and I know a lot of people who have been hospitalised because of dehydration especially young and elderly people.
OMG!!! O_O!! THANK YOU!!! I have always done this! When I try to "hydrate" as even doctors have constantly told me, I end up always in the bathroom. I ONLY drink when I feel thirsty~ :D I've ALWAYS done it right! ^_^
Adam please do an Episode on protein shakes and workout love the show
A protein shake BEFORE a workout full of BCAAs will actually help you more as protein takes about an hour per 10g to absorb. Now, BCAAs, or Base Chain Amino Acids get sucked up quick. A post workout shake helps your body with Protein Synthesis and recover faster because Whey Protein is the fastest protein your body can absorb, the only thing faster is straight up amino acids. I have both a pre and post workout shake cause I lift heavy and very often following a golden age bodybuilding style routine of two body parts a day: Chest and back, Legs, arms and shoulder. I do this six days a week and train to near failure, you might not train as hard or often so the best thing I can recommend that'll save you money is have a good shake prior, or do what I do and have both prior and after, or mix some BCAAs into your water 30 minutes beforehand to get them in your system quick. Oh, and you do wanna drink water if you're a very active person or train hard cause you will get cramps, I've had them, not fun when using a leg press machine with 8 45s and still have 5 more reps to go. Hope this helps my friend. Of course like they said, don't over hydrate, but do drink cause oxygen in your muscles while training is very VERY good.
You do know a lot of the information out there about fitness is just wrong and is normally just rumors spread through gyms/misinformation/VERY little actual study on it. You can just apply supplements to this video instead of water and it works exactly the same, the whole point is to make you believe they work and waste your money on them.
Rangaros It's different per person, if your goal is muscle growth and development then supplementing with BCAAs and Protein is a must, no matter how much chicken you eat the body just won't absorb the protein as fast as say Whey Protein Isolate, and Amino Acids get sucked up really quick, so while a post work shake is a good thing, a pre workout shake will help, cause it takes time for your body to absorb the Amino Acids and proteins, and taking it before means that you'll get those Proteins and Amino Acids right when you need them most. You can search all this up this isn't bro science it's fact, as well as years working out and finding out what works and what doesn't.
Aghyad Na well this website labdoor dot com is REALLY good. just started using it and is really comprehensive research stuff.
Thats not how your body works mate.
It IS true that if you consume a load of salty foods ex: french fries, burgers, more stuff DRINKING A LITTLE MORE WATER levels out your sodium levels, reducing heart attack probability.
Safir here’s an alternative
Don’t eat a bunch of salty crap in the first place. So many people in America (including me sometimes) eat a bunch of salt and it is not good for you. So drink more water if you eat fast food everyday
Carson Morris
Yeah when I eat a meal 2000 miligrams of salt is the absolute max.
I can eat that amount but I feel thirsty after & I drink a couple glasses
I have orthostatic problems so I have to eat a lot of salt and drink a lot of water
Salt. Makes. You. THIRSTYYYYYY!!!! Drink when you are thirsty.
Also I hate it when people say junk food is bad because it is only bad if you have a limited diet! If you only eat junk food, then yeah, it’s pretty bad, but just eat some rice or peanut butter or fruits or veggies or literally anything else and you will feel better.
I’ve never been worried about dehydration until I got to basic training for US Army where hydrate or die was drilled into our head 24/7
My school actually taught us that over hydration caused cramps, so if we were tired from exercising we drank small quantities of water, nothing major
