Did you know that 1% dehydration can drop your cognitive performance? That means forgetting your keys, or why you walked into a room. You’re not getting old; you’re just dry.
Astronauts don’t drink water normally. They use a special bag with a straw because water floats in space. Imagine trying to catch a floating blob of your own spit.

Just don’t use it to wash down a donut. That’s a national emergency for your stomach.
