This subject is really disturbing, rarely discussed yet can explain so much in behavioural terms that to me is so blindly apparent. Your family, colleagues and friends are detached in a world of 'brain fog' when it comes to understanding what's actually going on.
I can't get through to hardly anyone and I think a lot of it is down to this. Something flipped in the late 80's/early 90's where everyone were suddenly encouraged to drink water especially fancy bottled water by the bucketful. It's good for you apparently. You must stay hydrated and keep drinking until you're almost wetting your pants. It became a fashionable thing to do.
Anyone know of any credible medical studies on this subject? It should be reproducible using animal subjects and would go some way to alleviating public concern but strangely no one seems much incentivised to perform such an experiment.
The article is just a weak 'debunking' mainly based on anecdotes with appeals to authority and incredulity. I'm not convinced by it at all.
I don't drink hardly any water aside from that in an occasional coffee. My main source of water is via fruit juice.

@sam_harris You were onto something and you fumbled at the end. Mental clarity comes from eating protein, drinking water, and abstaining from instant gratification. Etc: Opinions of people, masturbation, porn, alcohol, drugs.
As far as drugs, marijuana and cocaine enhance mental facility. In no way do they diminish it. There is a huge trade off in terms of inhibition but if you're intent on staying mental fully alert and loose cocaine or amphetamines isn't a bad way to go. Self discipline is the key.
Compulsive water drinkers are the most retarded of all. You see them walking around in short pants, yoga pants and other crappy sporty gear 24x7 and think running half marathons every other weekend is doing them some good. All I ever see from this is culturally detached premature cripples.
porn and masturbation are symptoms of frustration because you're lost in a world of fluoride poisoning via 'trendy' hyper hydration. Your points are almost all msn talking points and I've learned the hard way to just tune them all out.
