Even now that that is all over with I live in a hot state and minimum I drink 6 bottles a day. Today was 100 degrees. I can down a whole bottle at once and still need more. So I lost count today. I work outside. Not in direct sunlight but outside nonetheless. I can tell by the way I feel if I am getting dehydrated. After three years with no colon my body has certain signs I recognize.
But like Scott said. All depends on the individual.

what are your signs?
