Right I am hereby hitherto thereafter faced with the following dilemma.

Observe situation one:

  • Adult human beings must drink 8 liters of water a day
  • So I decided to follow the said laws of living
  • Manage some loose 5 liters a day
  • But must pee every 15 – 30 mins
  • Meaning that I leave my desk to head to toilet
  • Meaning that I am walking up and down the office
  • Meaning I might just be wasting valuable time on work
  • Meaning I’ll be late for next deadline
  • Deadline isn’t moving so…
  • I get frustrated and might lose some sleep
  • Lose some sleep…wake up tired…
  • Have tired day and not 100% as productive as I should be
  • Not as productive as I should be frustrates me even more
  • Frustrations lead to face bursting into stress pimples
  • Go to Doctor who says, “You must increase your intake of water!”
  • I go like, “Wha..!?!?”

Observe situation two:

  • Adult human beings must drink 8 liters of water a day
  • But due to the above observation I decide not to take as much
  • Don’t take as much so as to reduce trips to toilet and hopefully get enough sleep
  • Therefore I sit at desk and work conscientiously
  • But one night (of sound sleep) I awake with fever
  • Next is a horrible day at work coupled with diarrhea, some nausea and sharp pain when I pee
  • I ignore but by end day I’m in severe pain
  • Make quick appointment with Doctor
  • Struggle to get to Doctor – due to pain
  • Quick and conclusive tests show I have UTI
  • Caused by mild dehydration
  • Doctor says “Maybe you should increase your intake of water and here are some pills for seven days.”
  • I go like, “Wha…!!?!?!”

Conclusion:
To drink or not to drink water – that is the dilemma!?
