Hydration is a state of mind. Hydration is not drinking too many sugary drinks. it’s about drinking water, 8-12 glasses of 8-12 ounces a day, carrying a water bottle, and managing caffeine and sugary drinks, which for a true athlete are absolute crap. Also, stay away from so-called sports energy drinks and don’t combine them with alcohol. Why train your ass and then mess it up by putting some junk in your mortal engine?

Think before you drink.
