I liked some ranks so much I DID THEM TWICE!!! LOL!
Long story - still made it to 24 years and retirement, and the guy I punched in the NCO club deserved it anyway.
If the kid had continual dark urine, it might have been a liver problem, not a condition of getting too little water and not solved by drinking vast amounts of water in a short time.
Even if the dark urine was due to dehydration - drinking too little water, the solution was not to have the kid drink an adult male’s suggested daily amount of water in just four hours.
Sometimes parents go to doctors too little. Sometimes they fail to consult doctors often enough. And parents should not think that “solutions” that seem “right” for an adult are appropriate for a child.
“Wondering if it’s really water poisoning, or really because his compromised system couldn’t take it.”
Any 11 year old kids system cannot take an adult’s daily recommended level of water in just four hours.
The parents tried to “solve” an issue from a “hereditary” problem as if the kid was merely dehydrated - not taking enough water, and did so with a dose over four hours that might be normal for a man in a whole day.
Most likely the hereditary problem was liver related (too much bile) and not kidney, and not “solved” by drinking too much water. I am thinking the kid was wearing a diaper because the parents were always trying to make him drink too much water and the kid couldn’t hold it long enough to get out of bed at night. And, that likely never made his urine clear if it was a liver problem.
3 - Article 15s didn’t stop me - thought of them as “merit badges” ...
Still not sure how that ties in here....
“...But then most of that would be from a garden hose rather than premeasured bottles.”

Garden Hose? Dont you know they are poison?
I think on a hot and humid day, nothing tastes better than cold water from the garden hose.
I still drink from the hose when am out doing yard work. The dog loves trying to catch the water spray too.
One example of many would be the policy of doctors routinely asking female patients if they’ve been abused by men in their households. Not all doctors do it, but it’s a requirement. Many of them have also been taught to assume that any accidental injury may have been intentionally caused by a male in the household.
Still not seeing it. A boy was killed by his father and stepmother trying to work thru a urinary symptom. So....
And BTW we all are treated as criminals w children. Asking if we have guns and if the kid is wearing a helmet, FGS, in case that might be seen as abuse.
Dogs drink it happily all,the time, and I don’t see them getting apoplecticover it!
REad recently that the recommended amount of water for hydration is to divide the body weight in half and use that figure for daily ounces.
200 divided by 2 = 100 ounces
Is that right? I don’t know. Standard for an adult has been 8 glasses per day???
OK.
It must’ve been the fluoride in the water that killed him! (sarc.)
The article says that the kid suffered from a hereditary urological problem and wore a diaper to bed.
