Been seeing that you should keep drinking until your pee is clear, but its quite astounding how quickly the pee turns dark. Like just 4h of no water or eating a meal will turn it dark. If water is needed so often how do people of the past (who probably don’t have that frequent access to water) even live?
In: Biology
The human ability to sweat is part of what makes us such a superior long-range endurance species. It’s also what makes us terrible by nature in hot temps in arid environments (deserts), because it’s a struggle to replace that lost moisture.
Wolves, lions, tigers, etc., don’t sweat. This limits their endurance hunting significantly, but it also means their water requirements are far lower.
Also, you don’t need to drink until your pee is clear and that often is counterproductive as it means you lose an excessive amount of electrolytes (sodium/potassium/magnesium), which also need to be replenished. You should generally keep drinking regularly if your pee is anything more than a very light yellow though.
