No I have not. 30 degrees in Europe today and I have had maybe 1.5 l of water.

I'm drinking my fourth beer of the afternoon as I write this. Does that count?
"Drank" and "drunk" are forms of the irregular verb "drink". "Drank" is the past tense form, as in "I drank two glasses of water last night." "Drunk" is the past participle, as in "She had drunk three cups of coffee before 9 a.m."
You're asking "have you..", so wouldn't it be "have you drunk", not "have you drank"?
Is misconjugating verbs a symptom of dehydration?
Delirium and confusion for sure can be, so I think that'd be counted under one or the other, yes.
The fact that people so often use the past tense instead of the past participle is perhaps evidence that it doesn't really matter, descriptively?
I think that it's a sign that English could stand to regularize further.
Once you're fluent you can use colloquialisms, sure, so yeah, descriptively it doesn't matter really, but most people learning a language sort of need the rules so they can understand once those rules start getting bent or broken. Imo.
Probably stupid but I feel like I'm weird and don't need as much water as the health officials recommend. Like I'm a more efficient model lol. I also get kind of bloated and gurgley if I have too much water. I'll drink when I'm thirsty or if I know I'm going out for a while in warm weather.
This is me too. I oddly have like 3 cups of water every day and have been fine. No abnormal labs or anything. Only drink when I am thirsty. Only increases in hot weather or exercise.

Let's hope your right, otherwise you're going to experience kidney stones sooner or later. And also all the other effects of sustained dehydration which are no fun and some are irreperable
No and I've been trying to drink more lately. Good looking out OP 🤝
Yeah, I'm about to donate plasma so I am fully locked and hydrated. Also, I had a kidney stone last year and I never want to experience that again. I now drink 2-3L of water a day without really thinking about it, it's habit now
Not yet, but it's not even 10 AM yet...
No, but a sixpack of beer is hydration too, right?
40°c in the shade; i drank 4l, i still dont think it's enough
I had a very long and active day, and kept my fluids up. I can answer "I think so." which I guess really means, "Probably not."
I had a series of inexplicable migraines when I was 15. A doctor asked what I was doing before they started.
"Surfing."
"How long?"
"Most of the day. Around 5-6 hours."
"And did you drink any water?"
"Eh, nope."
"You're dehydrating yourself but probably aren't realising it because you're in water."
Starting coming in every couple hours to drink a litre. Problem solved. Felt like an idiot.
Not an idiot - you had an issue, you asked someone with better knowledge/training/experience, you listened and acted on their advice. Sounds pretty smart to me 👍
I have been drinking tons of fluids lately. Mostly water. I'm peeing right now, in fact.
No, but I had a lot of prosecco
I think so, but also today is the first time this year my dog finished two bottles of water on her walk.
It's super hot in here. I drink lots of water. Two 5 liter bottles (idk if they're bottles anymore when they're that huge) run out within 1.5 days.
I drink a pint of water after every time I use the bathroom, and I trained myself to use the bathroom every two hours on the dot.
...no
grudgingly sips
Yes, I have a 14h reminder to drink 1L of water, which is my entire daily intake. I have this reminder because without it I may well drink nothing at all and not even realize.
I drink ridiculously large amounts of water... I should probably drink less.
Hopefully, I did a lot of work in the Texas sun today. I have a huge ass travel mug that I use when working outside, and I filled it and finished it twice.
It's difficult in summer. Too hot, I keep drinking and pissing as if I'm not dehydrated.
As an expert at drinking in hot weather to stay cool and keep your mind off it. Every third drink, glass of water or something like a scotch and water, tall glass with ice. Game changer.
How so?
No I am the greatest person alive I don't need water to sustain myself /s
I drank coca cola and like half glass of water
Agreed. I try to drink water regularly myself.
No not yet, only had 3 of the 4L the doctor wants me to drink.
