Will my body take what it needs from the water before I excrete it?

Question

I'm on a new quest to drink half my body weight in ounces of water a day (which is 3 bottles of water.) Is it okay if I take a few big gulps and then excrete it out 15 minutes later? Will my body still take what it needs?

Answer 1

Yup.  Just fine.

The Boy Scout rule is "Clear and Copious".  If you're peeing regularly, and it's clear, then you're getting enough to drink.

Answer 2

Salutations,

yes. your body will make use of the water, and what you are getting rid of will be more than just water. you might want to add a bit of fresh squeezed lemon juice to each bottle. I do and it definitly add a nice touch to an already refreshing drink. Cheers
