    It’s super hot in here. I drink lots of water. Two 5 liter bottles (idk if they’re bottles anymore when they’re that huge) run out within 1.5 days.

    I had a very long and active day, and kept my fluids up. I can answer “I think so.” which I guess really means, “Probably not.”

    I had a series of inexplicable migraines when I was 15. A doctor asked what I was doing before they started.

    “Surfing.”

    “How long?”

    “Most of the day. Around 5-6 hours.”

    “And did you drink any water?”

    “Eh, nope.”

    “You’re dehydrating yourself but probably aren’t realising it because you’re in water.”

    I started coming in every couple hours to drink a litre. Problem solved. Felt like an idiot.

      Not an idiot - you had an issue, you asked someone with better knowledge/training/experience, you listened and acted on their advice. Sounds pretty smart to me 👍
