Are the water companies and sports beverages industries over doing it?
pushing people to hydrate but overdoing it?
I don’t remember people walking around with water all the time?
$ vs health
hyponeutremia is a serious problem I’m sure people have seen the news stories
i want to read Noakes book waterlogged.
I carry an insulated Gatorade water bottle with me most places I go. I like to fill it up with tap water from my apartment with some ice so that when I go places I can drink water when I'm thirsty. I carry a bottle so that I can drink water when I get thirsty. Cold water is a nice treat when it's 90-100 degrees outside every day during the Summer.
Hope this helped
Thanks for sharing your routine.
I might drink a glass of water before I go places and then also when I get home if I am thirsty. I can make it longer than 30 minutes without drinking water.
I seriously doubt anyone (excluding freak exceptions) is actually suffering from "over-hydration" in a medical sense. You just piss more.
It's just one more little brick added to the fragile mentality of our culture. I'll immediately die if I don't have my phone, my water bottle, my walking helmet, my mask, another mask, a face shield, gloves, a mask up by butt, my service pet with me at all times, my mommy, etc.
Everyone come pat this guy on the back, he's a real man because he doesn't drink water and his pee is yellow! Everyone come tell this guy what a real man he is! Congratulations The Real Real! You're a REAL man!
You wear aqua-socks and a t-shirt in the pool, don't you.

Your body comes equipped with a sensation called "thirst". I suggest you ignore all the noise and let your sensation of thirst guide when to drink liquids. For me, if I'm doing a longer run in hot weather I might stop several times if water fountains are available, but I won't die if they aren't.
Exception would be long races especially the marathon, in those you should hydrate long before you feel thirsty.
That was before "public health" campaigns convinced everyone salt was bad. If you're not limiting salt intake, you won't likely go hyponatremic except in very hot weather
...and what is the issue with walking around with a bottle.
We drank from taps, glasses , hoses whatever in the 70's, now we drink from bottles. The thirst receptors of humans haven't changed in 50 yrs...still drinking the same amount
This thread… wow… are people really THAT bent out of shape over others drinking water/hydrating? Must be exhausting being the OP and those who agree with the initial post. Goodness gracious.
I was around in the 1960s. People would have thought it was weird and a waste of money to pay for a bottle of water. There were drinking fountains and taps.
Not really, this over hydrating mindset has spread through the US military. When I was in they were constantly nagging us about drinking more water, they made us bring a camelback to every PT (imagine the slowest imaginable pace shuffling just a tad above a speed walk, yeah they'd made us bring a camelback for that) and they always thought cramping was only caused by not drinking enough water and never discussed other reasons for cramping.
Hydration is like gluten, mostly a normal good thing though some people can overhydrate and some can have gluten allergy, and still others pretend to have gluten allergy and keep obsessing about hydration because they are really trying to lose weight.
Mostly I hear from suburban women about how "most people are dehydrated" and that's why they have X health problem.
It's complete BS.
Coaches denying water to athletes to "make em tough!" is wrong headed (obviously) but gulping down a stomach full of water, then trying to do a hard work out is a great way to puke, cramp, or perform poorly. So there's some truth to limiting how much you drink when working out for optimal performance.

I don't care what or when people drink, I was just telling it like it was when I was younger.
My wife is a fitness trainer, so I get to see both the good and bad of the fitness industry.
Current wisdom is that most people don't drink enough, the current goal says shoot for 1 gallon a day, so people lug the bottle around to help track/reach the target. Unless it's summer a gallon feels like a lot. I have tried to hydrate better with a glass of water at bfast, lunch, dinner, bedtime...
Now the humor, anything invented for fitness that looks cool, but causes no pain will be a big hit.
expensive earpods, sunglasses, gloves, tape, water bottle, hr monitor, tights & legwarmers, gels all look great and don't hurt, 10 x 400m, extra sets of hamstring curls to exhaustion, etc cause pain, so you won't see these much.
