Dehydrated Drivers Make The Same Number of Mistakes As Drink Drivers
A new study published in the medical journal Physiology and Behaviour has revealed that even mild dehydration is equivalent to being over the drink driving limit in terms of driver errors. Researchers at Loughborough University carried out a range of tests over two days on male drivers, using a laboratory-based driving simulator. During the normal hydration test there were 47 driving […]

Most people give little thought to hydration: they drink when thirsty or according to habit (mealtimes, morning coffee, afternoon tea, etc) and any excess fluid is lost as urine. These simple physiological processes work fairly well and water intake is closely matched to water losses. For some individuals, though, there are challenges, either on the intake […]
