Yeah, your body can only absorb about half a cup in an hour. If you're dehydrated, sip. If you need to give a urine sample, drink about two cups and wait 10 minutes.

Fellow ADHDers, how do you stay adequately hydrated?

#i diluted my blood twoce when i was a teenager because the off-switch for thirsty was um...damaged when i suffered heat exhaustion #and still hasn't fully recovered several decades later. i'm lucky i didn't due from drinking almost 30 ounces in 30 minutes.#having adhd means i forget to drink. having no off-switch means i'm always thirsty. my extreme low heat tolerance caused by a list of #fuckery (epilepsy meds effects of heat exhaustion and POTS)#means i'm slightly paranoid about overdrinking and therefore sit on the edge of dehydrated. it's currently very hot and very dry and i'm #sweating my ass off. so now my metal water bottles/tumblrs are measured at no more than three of these a day unless i'm physically active #or outside. please just sip and use a straw. straws help with that! i use straws because tipping my head back will often as not result in #fluids going the wrong way. i have tremors in my hands which certainly don't help and i end up spilling my drink down my face.
