Almost passing out on a hot job changed my water habits for good

Last summer, I was installing cable in a very hot attic and got super dizzy. I pushed through like always, but then I almost collapsed. That moment made me realize I needed to drink more water. Now I never start a job without a full bottle, and I take sips every hour. It's made a huge difference in how I feel by the end of the day.

Last August I got sick from dehydration after working outside all day. I drink way more water now too, it really helps.

My hydration is so bad, I get thirsty in the shower.

Yeah, adding a pinch of salt to your water helps a ton when you're sweating all day... your body loses salt too. I also chug a big glass before I even head out, it's easier to stay ahead of it than catch up. That shaky, dizzy feeling is no joke.
