Corporations, if they were not run by politically correct loser CEO’s, would use this Sovietish proclamation from the EU as a great opportunity to harness the public against the dictators wannbes in the EU.

Alas, they are too stupid and bent to do it. Investors need to clean out the limo-global-communists heading up modern corporations. Who needs a union between the oppressive bureacrats and the leaders of business beyond Hitler?

My husband used to say, “Don’t drink water because fish make love in it - drink Scotch.”

Stay away from water: it fails to hydrate.

And don't even get me started on the evils of Dihydrogen Monoxide!

I was basing my comments on someone who’s dehydrated almost to the point of collapse. EMT’s use an electrolyte based re-hydration.

Water is evil.

Do not drink water no matter what!

Well, I mean for at least 7 days. After that, it will not matter.

I thought you needed electrolytes in water to hydrate

You need electrolytes to replace the electrolytes in your body, in order to hydrate, you need water. Dehydration is the lack of water in your body, hydration is the replacement of that water. And what would you use to replenish the water in your cells? Oh, let me guess, Water?

Depends on lost volume and anticipated future loss plus the ability to recover. Normal saline or d50

It's not that simple. When someone is dehydrated to the point of collapse you need more than just plain water. Water just satisfies the thirst but does not replenish lost electrolytes.

Electrolytes affect the amount of water in your body, the acidity of your blood (pH), your muscle function, and other important processes. You lose electrolytes when you sweat. You must replace them by drinking fluids.

Common electrolytes include:

Calcium Chloride Magnesium Phosphorous Potassium Sodium

I thought you needed electrolytes in water to hydrate. Water alone (filtered bottle water has all minerals removed) doesn’t have enough. Wasn’t that the reason GatorAide was developed for athletes?

I know a guy who worked with nuke reactors. The primary
cooling loop used ultra pure water. Someone he worked with
decided he liked drinking the stuff. It made him sick from
mineral depletion.
