Is there any liquid that hydrates better than water? I'm drinking a gallon a day, I purchased a humidifer and increased the temperature on my air conditioner. I've also purchased chapstick and three different kinds of mouthwash for dry mouth.

Yet every day I wake up with blisters on my tongue, a chapped lower lip, crust on either side of my mouth, crust over my eyes and my lips stuck together. On alternating days I take claritan, benadryl and nyquil for allergies as well in case that's what's causing it.

Hydrate = hydro = water

Hydratation literally means absorbing water, there is no better drink to hydrate yourself than literal water.

Chug ~1 gallon of water right before going to bed, that's what I do and it helps with dry mouth/chapped lips
>oh but then I'll need to wake up and piss in the middle of the night
Take 1 or 2 sleep-aids whenever you drink the water before bed, you will sleep right through the pissing event(s)

Okay, but you guys are just going to be really mean... I can already hear the insults and calls to change my lifestyle. It's not diabetes, I've had tests done multiple times. My mother was nagging me with this idea to the point that I was having bloodwork done monthly at one point so she'd get the fuck off my back and they've told me my cholesterol and blood sugar are totally normal along with my weight and I don't have diabetes or pre-diabetes or hypoglycemia or any of that shit.

But, all through my youth I was drinking an insane amount of gatorade. Then I realized "Oh shit, this swill is why I'm constantly sweating." So I dropped the gatorade cold turkey, but I still like sugary beverages so I replaced it with soda. I probably drink two liters of soda every single day.

>Why don't you-
If you're about to suggest tea, fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. FUCK YOU. Fuck you, and fuck you. I fucking despise tea. It sickens me. It makes me want to throw up. Fuck tea and everyone who drinks it. No thank you. No. I do not want your fermenting leaf juice.

If instead you were about to suggest an artificial sweetener, fuck you even harder. I hate all of that. I hate stevia, I hate that shit they get out of cactuses, I hate every single sugar substitute. I'm okay with corn syrup, but I prefer actual sugar.

I drink a shitload of water to compensate.

There's a humidifier directly above my head. It's reduced the issue -my eyes aren't in horrible pain and crusted over in the mornings and I don't have dry crusts actually cracking my skin on the edges of my eyes anymore, though I still do wake up with a little crust and it doesn't seem to have improved my dry mouth at all.

it's those antihistamines you're taking. if your piss is clear you're hydrated, and if you have to take your drugs keep the claritin and lose the others. diphenhydramine has antimuscarinic properties and causes things like dry mouth

Fish oil. Seems like you get enough water but have nothing to keep it there like the protective layer of oil for your eyes for instance

Drinking insane amounts of water will also dehydrate you. If you're sweating it all out also look into the fodmap diet. Fixes a ton of random garbage and wish I would've hopped on it years ago. That said, it's hard and if you're like me you'll plug your ears to it at first

Those medications also cause dry eye wouldn't be a stretch to say they could cause the rest. My eyes had their oil glands plugged and have to massage them during a shower to get it flowing

I can't believe that nobody has mentioned pedialyte. No one can hydrate on pure H20 without the correct salts.

Retard, this chart simply tells you how long certain drinks will be kept in your body. Obviously some things will stay longer in your body depending on the additives in it.
The question this chart and study did not answer is if drinking 1L of coke is a better way to hydrate yourself than drinking 1L of water, which it is not. Your body simply needs more time to break down all of the different parts of that fluid, it doesn't mean you get better hydration from it.

"Essentially, the index compares how much of a drink is retained 2 hours after consumption compared to the same amount of water. The higher the index the more fluid is retained in the body. The full paper is available online, but in brief, they compared 13 beverages. Seventy two volunteers consumed 1 liter of each of these drinks. For the next 2 hours urine was collected."
