Take a pinch of salt (and just enough water to wash it down) instead of that next glass of water, and suddenly you're not thirsty anymore. Also, the seasoning packets from ramen work really well as a source of electrolytes, especially if you've been overheated and have gotten a bit dehydrated -- then you don't absorb water effectively without also getting some salt, and preferably also some potassium. þ RNET 2.10U: ILink: Techware BBS þ Hollywood, Ca þ www.techware2k.com --- QScan/PCB v1.20a / 01-0462 * Origin: ILink: CFBBS | cfbbs.no-ip.com | 856-933-7096 (454:1/1) .
