Alpo Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 You are severely dehydrated. You have been out in the heat, and the sun, without any water, for a long long time. Then suddenly you have access to water. you have a bottle of it sitting on the counter, and a bottle of it sitting in the refrigerator. Would you grab the room temperature water or the chilled water?

Fast Tracker Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 If you are overheated too,grab the cold water to bring your core temperature down. If you are just dehydrated, the room temperature water is more easily absorbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I’d grab BOTH!! I’d drink the room temperature water first while I pressed the chilled bottle against my neck, first on one side then the other. When the warmer water was gone, I’d open the cool water and drink it slowly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
