We were always taught the rule of 3’s.

3 minutes without air
3 days without water
3 weeks without food.

Four days is what I remember being told as a kid.

A communist can live forever without water.
You will never see a commie drink a glass of water.
Vodka! That’s what they drink. Why is that, Mandrake?

I’ll tell you why. Fluoridation! That’s why.

When my sister was in hospice care, I asked the nurse who ran the home how long you can live without water, and she said a week at tops. Once my sister slipped into a coma, and wasn’t getting any sustenance, she lasted a bit longer than a week. She waited until her 70th birthday to die. We thought, maybe she didn’t want to die at the same age as our mother (69), and so waited to turn 70. Her birthday was September 2nd, so another reason I thought she waited until her birthday was because once she made it through the end of August her pension and social security checks for August, wouldn’t be cancelled.

On the mountain today in the hot sun, I thought I would die of thirst in a few hours! I was knocking back lots of water.

And, if you’re hungry and thirsty - and there’s food, but no water around, DON’T EAT - it takes water to process food and you’ll die from dehydration even faster....

Eh. The headline smacks of a SHTF survival question, but the author outlines a puff piece for media idiots. Did you not read it? Total garbage.

In contrast, I prefer the question posed to progressives placed in deep water with 5lb around each ankle:

“How long can you tread water?”
