    No I have not. 30 degrees in Europe today and I have had maybe 1.5 l of water.

    I’m drinking my fourth beer of the afternoon as I write this. Does that count?

    “Drank” and “drunk” are forms of the irregular verb “drink”. “Drank” is the past tense form, as in “I drank two glasses of water last night. “Drunk” is the past participle, as in “She had drunk three cups of coffee before 9 a.m.

    You’re asking “have you, so wouldn’t it be “have you drunk, not “have you drank?

        Delirium and confusion for sure can be, so I think that’d be counted under one or the other, yes.

      The fact that people so often use the past tense instead of the past participle is perhaps evidence that it doesn’t really matter, descriptively?

        Once you’re fluent you can use colloquialisms, sure, so yeah, descriptively it doesn’t matter really, but most people learning a language sort of need the rules so they can understand once those rules start getting bent or broken. Imo.

        I think that it’s a sign that English could stand to regularize further.

    Probably stupid but I feel like I’m weird and don’t need as much water as the health officials recommend. Like I’m a more efficient model lol. I also get kind of bloated and gurgley if I have too much water. I’ll drink when I’m thirsty or if I know I’m going out for a while in warm weather.

      This is me too. I oddly have like 3 cups of water every day and have been fine. No abnormal labs or anything. Only drink when I am thirsty. Only increases in hot weather or exercise.

      Let’s hope your right, otherwise you’re going to experience kidney stones sooner or later. And also all the other effects of sustained dehydration which are no fun and some are irreperable

    Yeah, I’m about to donate plasma so I am fully locked and hydrated. Also, I had a kidney stone last year and I never want to experience that again. I now drink 2-3L of water a day without really thinking about it, it’s habit now

    I had a very long and active day, and kept my fluids up. I can answer “I think so. which I guess really means, “Probably not.

    I had a series of inexplicable migraines when I was 15. A doctor asked what I was doing before they started.

    “Surfing.

    “How long?

    “Most of the day. Around 5-6 hours.

    “And did you drink any water?

    “Eh, nope.

    “You’re dehydrating yourself but probably aren’t realising it because you’re in water.

    I started coming in every couple hours to drink a litre. Problem solved. Felt like an idiot.

      Not an idiot - you had an issue, you asked someone with better knowledge/training/experience, you listened and acted on their advice. Sounds pretty smart to me 👍

    I drink ridiculously large amounts of water I should probably drink less.

        You can get Hyponatremia from drinking too much water too fast. I don’t know about drowning.

          It’s not about too much too fast. It’s being in a dehydrating situation while hydrating with only water without any salts in it. Mineral water for instance has electrolytes, so you would never get hyponatremia from drinking tons of mineral water.

          So for instance in the army, when doing water supply, we’d add a spoon or two of salt to the 30 litre jugs of water.

          And no, no drowning when you drink. We drown when we breathe in water, not when we drink it. Too different organs; lungs and the stomach.

    It’s difficult in summer. Too hot, I keep drinking and pissing as if I’m not dehydrated.

      As an expert at drinking in hot weather to stay cool and keep your mind off it. Every third drink, glass of water or something like a scotch and water, tall glass with ice. Game changer.

    I have been drinking tons of fluids lately. Mostly water. I’m peeing right now, in fact.
