“Well, I don’t want to argue. There are a lot of hard jobs.”
My point was not really about how hard the jobs was. My point was that I had to drink two gallons of water a day to live through doing my job.
What happened to this guy was not the job because there are many more even much harder, it was because he didn’t drink at least a gallon of water a day while doing the job.
Hydration when you work hard was the main point of my post. Mine required two gallons a day to stay on top of hydration.
I’m semi-retired, but work 3-4 days a week outside at a local country club for $13/hr. - full health care - privileges - meals - and tips. Lots of tips.
Working outside in the summer in FL is tough. I drink probably 2 gallons of water per shift. When you get home and just peel your clothes off and throw them in the dryer then head to the shower, you know you’ve done your work for the day.
I like hard work. I feel it keeps me young (at 60). I wear jeans that I brought w/ me to FL that I wore at PSU in the 80’s. I can still hit it nearly 300 yards at times.
Hard work is good for you - but, YES Hydrate.
