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.

InMemoriam, be careful of all that orange juice. Water hydrates better than anything. OJ is used to shoot up the blood sugar of diabetics when they are having lows ( my mom was diabetic). All of that OJ might be doing a number on your pancreas.

What is the equivalent of 25 mL? About an ounce, or about ten ounces?

The metric system is too confusing.
