Re: Please Drink More (water that is)
Last summer I was working an outdoor music festival that lasted for two weeks. Each day was 14 - 18 hours long (no going inside until we got back to teh hotel each evening). It was at least 90 degreese, with high humidity every day. Even after forcing myself to drink water and Gatoraide, I still got heat stroke the third day, and could not mix monitors for the concerts that night. In the same week, 4 other crew members also got sick. When It came around again this month, we forced ourselves to drink even more, and noone got sick this year. We learned the hard way that you really do have to force yourself to drink, and that is not easy at times. It sneaks up on you, even when you think you are doing the right things to take care of yourself.
