nl 986 Posted April 28, 2014 That's a bit weird, I am hydrated (and fully energized / healthy) but not to the fullest level and I drink 11 cans of soda and am still not fully hydrated...that is over 3.5 liters of moisture, more than what an active grown man in a moderate climate would need to drink in an entire day...

darth_vaizard 42 Posted April 28, 2014 I agree, the amount of water that soda gives should be buffed. Energy is about right though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zeroy 240 Posted April 28, 2014 Soda give more energy than they do hydration levels - find a pond/stream, they are everywhere! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karmaterror 982 Posted April 28, 2014 Hmmm if you have the "healthy" status....logic dictates you are both energised and hydrated....id chalk this up to a bug maybe? Like the one where you don't see the"healing" or "healthy" status even though colour is returning to the screen :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nl 986 Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) Check the internet, soft drinks dont hydrate you, they might even dehydrate in large amounts.Hmm, I did a quick search and it seems there a lot of opinions and myths about sodas not hydrating your body.I also found this link and for me this seems only logical: http://exerciseandnutritionworks.com/2012/01/do-coffee-tea-and-soda-hydrate-or-dehydrate/ "other beverages… don’t count towards your daily water consumption goal. " Not true, say researchers at the Center for Human Nutrition in Omaha. They ought to know. They put a dozen and a half men in their 20s and 30s on various fluid regimens: water only; equal amounts of water and caffeinated soda; or water, caffeinated soda, and coffee. Then they tested urine and blood to check their hydration status. The result: The volunteers remained in the same state of hydration no matter which beverages they drank! But I guess more importantly the sodas in the game are there to hydrate you (well that's what I assume) but seem to do so in a very unrealistic way. I'd rather find way less soda cans that will hydrate you than many cans that hardly hydrate you. Edited April 28, 2014 by SAK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nl 986 Posted April 28, 2014 Carry a canteen/bottle, collect it when it rains!I do carry those but always save them till last. Refilling with rain is nice (if it rains) but with 1% water per command it will take me 100 commands to fill it up. I will only do that in an emergency, like having broken legs, otherwise I will simply find a pond or well. Anyhow, it's not the point of this topic. It's about how sodas don't hydrate you in a realistic way, not about ways to stay hydrated in the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe you were really downWell maybe but as I said I was hydrated but in dark green and not light green status. Still after 11 sodas not fully hydrated.Funny thing is I drank until stuffed (and light green hydrated) from a pond before on a different server, logged off almost immediately and about 20 mins later joined again.I believe you lose some hydration when logging on again mimicking time gone by but I still think it is weird.
