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.

That’s nanny-state over-the-top. I can drink, drive, smoke, text, shift and now I gotta guzzle water too?
