Having as few as five sips of water an hour while driving is equivalent to being over the drink drive limit.
Drivers make more than twice as many mistakes when they are just mildly dehydrated, according to new research.
The study revealed that drivers who had only had 25ml of water an hour made more than double the number of mistakes on the road than those who were hydrated - the same amount as those who have been drink driving.

I discovered this after finding that being hydrated kept me from having migraines. Breakfast for me is 40 - 50 oz total of OJ, milk and tea over about an hour. I feel fifteen years older when I wake up, and fifteen years younger, firing on all cylinders, after breakfast.
...”finding that being hydrated kept me from having migraines”....
Oh really!...I just started having migraines a couple years ago..and though only a few times a year, and wow are they nasty, vomiting and all, I wonder if i was dehydrated??? Hummm...I have to think on this...So thanks for posting that!
Yeah, chlorinated tap water isn’t that appealing. I drink OJ, milk, tea, and cranberry juice. I might throw in bottled water a few times a week.
I just had to bite the bullet on restroom trips, though, you’re right. Your body does adapt away from every half hour or so, but it’s still every hour or two.
No kidding. That writing is twisted and tortured. I can’t tell if the writer did it on purpose, or is just completely stupid.
I have cluster headaches and they are a beech. Have you tried Zomig?
I found the same results. When I was young, and assigned to Guam, I was awful at keeping myself hydrated. I had some many frequest headaches and migranes I thought I had a tumor. Eventually, I ended up taking a series of medicines that only made me feel like a zombie (no headaches, cause I was sleeping, face down on my typwriter!) Finally, I took the advice of my doctor, after lying to him repeatedly by telling him I drank plenty of fluids, and I made it a point to stay hydrated. The migranes went away. That was about 30 years ago. I do get the occasional headache, but I can almost always see the connection with poor hydration prior to the pain. Hydration works.
I wonder who pays for such a dumb studies and what the purpose of it? Is it about to normalize DUI or what?
What do you call it Rodney?
Ive never read anything quite AS “twisted and tortured.
Perhaps the author wrote it in one language and the editor or editors translated it using Google Translate...and published the results without doing any double checking?
I really skimp on liquids...except for coffee ,.which is of course a diuretic.
I may want to add more liquids.
Nicola may well have written the article under some sort of “influence”
I can see it all now.
Drivers wishing to stay hydrated on those long grueling daily commutes adopting the sort of water bottles used by bicyclists ...with the small hose and all
I need to :hydrate more often...particularly after reading nicolas..headline.
The “slogan” of the week!
AHAHAHA The First Laugh of the Morning!!
this testing issue could become a real problem...from what little I understand of biology.,..and technology.
Im thinking bad translation. As a matter of fact it must have been “machine translation” such as google translate...or babblefish....
Mandatory Water COnsumption...must surely be on some government drones agenda ..womewhere
Im thinking CA NY or Colorado
The real trick is timing. Finish a bottle of water before you need to fill it back up. Just dispose of properly, leaving it on the side of the road is just wrong.
the google car....will come equipped to...with miniature...facilities..
