Country Jam 2013: How Can You Tell if You are Getting Dehydrated?

One of the most effective ways to insure you'll enjoy Major Mortgage Country Jam is make certain you are conscious and alert for the event. Don't be one of the unfortunate ones who fails to take in enough water to stay hydrated for the event, only to pay the price.

I personally have carried an individual out of VIP and to the ambulance. This was difficult for a number of reasons:

The guy was a little chunky, and was kind of heavy.
He was unconscious, and was experiencing total muscle relaxation. That's kind of like picking up a bag of loosely packed sand.
He was deep inside the VIP area, and it was a long walk carrying him to the ambulance.

Finally, they shoved a tube up his nose, and everything was hunky-dory. How could this individual have known he was s tarting to get dehydrated you ask? Here is a list of symptoms that should serve as an early indication you are getting dehydrated:

Headache
Irritability
Weakness
Craving Sugar or Salt
Dizziness
Dark Urine....ehhhwwww.
Dry Mouth
Nausea
Vomiting

In order to stay hydrated, obviously, you must drink plenty of water. For our purposes here, let's not confuse beer with water. Beer is beer. If it isn't water, then it isn't water. In the event you are looking for additional ways to add water to your system, here is a short list of additional sources for good hydration.
