[QUOTE="discosoc, post: 7074215, member: 6801554"] No, I'm going by the "people just need to drink more water than they do" school of thought. Exact numbers are meaningless because so much depends on things like activity level and ambient temperature. Not to mention the supposed water that people get out of foods assumes they are actually eating enough fruits and veggies when in fact they don't. Yeah, people aren't dehydrating themselves to death over it, but they are giving themselves migraines, causing more work for the kidneys, crippling the immune system, etc.. Not to mention the whole weight gain issue where people eat when they should probably drink because the stomach can't really tell the difference. I'm pretty active and even have a hard time chasing that supposed 8 glass a day thing, but 6 is easy. I know people who do closer to 3, except for beer night. Anyway, my main point was that adventuring is probably a pretty active profession. Even the wizard hanging back casting spells is probably in better shape than your average American, so it doesn't seem weird to me that they would actually need quite a bit of water. [/QUOTE]
