An interesting article on hyponatremia which comes as the result of overhydrating. Very technical article, but worth a look :wink:

I read this article in the local paper (I live in a very active community). I found it interesting to read the 'other side' of the hydration issue. Living in CO, what with the altitude, hydration is a *huge* issue. I'm curious if any counter-arguments will arise shortly.
One thing I think they short-change is that, even though nobody dies of dehydration, there are plenty of physiological detriments to being dehydrated: performance decline, headaches, nausea, etc. They kinda paint the picture that it's all well and good to be dehydrated. I can personally vouch from experience that dehydration can be painful and detrimental to performance!

I was in Vail at the time... 2 inches. Boulder/Denver got up to 20 inches. There was a big conference in Aspen that we were at beforehand, and most folks were flying out of Denver Sunday--most waited in the airport until Monday or Tuesday, while the rest of us were skiing Vail!BeanoNYC said:
