So: I drink - one mug of black tea with 2 sugars at breakfast time. A small bottle of
Coke with me all day. Sometimes I drink it all, others not.
Mid-morning: depending where I am it will be another cuppa or a hot chocolate. I gave up on milk-shakes as they make me bloated. Another cuppa at lunch time and another mid-afternoon. 2 during the evenings.
Plus a small bottle of fizzy water with which to take meds: 20mg Propranolol at night with a 10gm AD, 5mg AD at breakfast with a statin.
Check the urine colour: explained to me by a Urologist - the first pee of the morning will be darker and probably smelly. Unless one drinks in the night on a regular basis. After that, as 1 takes on liquids with food/drink in the day, it should remain straw coloured - any lighter and the person is drinking too much which can be dangerous. Consider too exercise regime, if jogging, horse riding, dog walking, swimming - one needs to up the intake shortly B4 and certainly after. Again, the urine should be straw coloured, He also said that 1 should drink B4 1 feels thirsty whereas if I do that, I get very bloated
= nausea.
Much of this 'drink at least 2 litres of liquids' is pushed by the bottled water Companies
