No, it doesn't, that is a fallacy. In fact for about 100 years the people of london only frank beer, as the water would have killed you. Children would get two pints of beer a day at school (those that could afford to go there), and most people would drink 6 to 8 pints a day. It is an urban myth that beer dehydrates. There is far more water in the beer than the alcohol could possible absorb.

Depends on your size and how much you consume, I used to do cardio workout for 30 minutes everyday and lose almost half a liter water in the morning itself. Moreover, my dietitian told me that the max limit of daily intake of fluids is your weight in pounds/40, it comes exact 5 liters a day for me.

I can easily finish a 64 oz coke over a movie (that's regular size at the local movie theater), I guess I should avoid watching more than one movie a day.

Believe me it took real hard effort to increase my daily water intake, right now drinking 4 liters of cool clear water per day, no colas no sweetened drinks. Drinking lots and lots of water is undoubtedly good for health, but since human body is made of 70% fluid I am finding this increased intake of water actually put few extra pounds on me. Nevertheless, drink(only water), enjoy and stay safe :)
I've been drinking about three liters a day this summer. And only one (large) cup of coffee.

Most of the beer consumption at the time was extremely weak by modern standards 1% alcohol would keep it sterile while not letting you get drunk; so the proper comparison would be about a half dozen pints of old beer to one pint of modern beer and 5 pints of water.

My math bit rusty, but if a person weighs 175 lbs then 175/40 = 4.375

Hmmm, You sure it is liters? that means the above person can consume max of 4.375 liters of water per day. So, 1 litre = 4+ cups 4.375 * 4 = 17.5 cups a day :omg: :wtf: p.s. I know what you said was maximum, but don't you think that is way off.

I don't think that can happen. I guess you need to cut on those burgers which you eat before sipping water. :)

Yes it can. Assuming he's otherwise healthy (some health problems can result in excess water retention); it means he was mildly dehydrated beforehand. Unfortunately that's not an uncommon problem for people either don't drink much or who drink lots of diuretics (eg caffeine, ethanol).

Holly crap, is that true? It could be, because it’s sounds logical if the water is contaminated and I suppose after some time your body gets used with it and you are not even drunk. I remember some interview with a Bulgarian physician who was explaining that it’s not true that the Asian people are lacking from some enzyme which is decomposing the alcohol. The truth is that the Europeans have one extra enzyme because of thousand years drinking.

Yes it does. It still hydrates. I checked.

I've been drinking about three liters of coffee a day for most of my life. I rarely if ever drink plain water. FFS folks, fish crap and make love in that stuff!

It's time for a new sig. Seriously.

Yes, that is true aparently. thousands of years of drinking beer at 2% has given us the ability to handle alcohol.
Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription
It’s not only the beer; the wine is far older and much stronger. There were archeological inscriptions for one of the Kings/Khans/ in my country who has fought against drunkenness eradicating all vineyards in the country, some kind of Prohibition law in……. 8 century AD.

But who drinks from only cup sized containers? I use a 20 ounce bottle and drink 5 to 10 of them daily.

Drinking lots and lots of water will kill you. Drinking excessive water can lead to serious electrolyte imbalances in your body. Since a person gets quite a bit of water from food, drinking about two liters is sufficient for most adults.
Not if you're an athlete that sweats a lot.
