The child was 11 years old. The excerpt didn’t include that fact and I wanted to see if they made a toddler or an almost adult drink 3 quarts of water over 4 hours. The age was in the middle of that range.

It seems a lot of water for an 11 year old...

Thanks! I missed that while stuffing the excerpt. When I was 11, by the way, I was mowing lawns with a push mower in semitropical heat or playing football with the other neighborhood kids. Soon after that, we were playing football in junior high and taking salt tablets (another doctors' fad, back then).
