I find it odd, they utterly trust the messages from their bladder or intestines to go to the bathroom, they trust their appetites, they trust their urge to sleep or wake... why do people so utterly distrust their thirst mechanism? Doesn't it seem like human beings would have had a hard time surviving if they didn't have some kind of reliable indicator that they should drink water?


Exactly!!!......well put.

To me that’s like saying "if you wait until you’re hungry it means you’re already starving"……….or "always slow down 30 seconds before you have a car accident"
