The human body averages to be about 50-60% of water depending on height, weight and all those kinds of things. Researchers share this statistic as an estimate because of the way it varies for different demographics. Although what they should be studying is the amount of water in the body of the average college student.
Reusable water bottles have taken advantage of over-consumers not only because of their ability to hydrate people but more so their designs that double as an accessory. The 40oz Stanley (that looks like a blender) is not making up for all of the other liquids that college kids indulge in.
This theory challenges the idea that people are supposed to be 50-60% water. After 8 p.m. from Wednesday to Saturday water is the last beverage in people’s cups. With the party scenes of college, the more accurate statistic might be that alcohol is really taking up a majority of the human body.
Recognizing the Unrecognizable
Doctors repeat over and over again that dehydration is the cause of most minor or even severe health issues. People can experience drowsiness, fatigue, headache, muscle cramps or other physical impairments like sunken eyes and a dry mouth. However the side effects listed are also the effects of maybe a thousand other illnesses, so who is to really say?
Being dehydrated is just much more common for college students because of how easy it is to go out and drink. A glaring sign that you’re dehydrated is that nasty hangover that takes you out of commission for hours. The kind that makes your body ache for so long the next day that every class was miraculously cancelled (by you).
Unsurprisingly, alcohol is a leading cause of dehydration. So all of those times that you refilled your cup with water that day is soaked up like a sponge by the 15 zippers at Pmans.
But what does being hydrated even look like? To name a few: long-lasting energy, better joint and muscle health and improved skin are signs pointing in the right direction.
With That Being said.. No One’s Judging
Don’t take this article the wrong way. College is the time to drink with your friends if you so please and have the time of your life. It’s more interesting what the simple task of drinking water can change for your body. This isn’t rocket science but probably not something that college kids actually stop to think about.
With that being said, VALLEY does not condone underage drinking. For those of age, this is just something to consider if you’re wondering why getting out of bed on a random Tuesday feels the same as moving a mountain.
Let us know @VALLEYmag on X how much water you drink in a day!
*VALLEY does not support underage drinking. Please remember to always drink responsibly.

Great post and straight to the point. I don’t know if this is truly the best place to ask but do you folks have any ideea where to employ some professional writers? Thanks in advance 🙂
I want to express my appreciation to this writer for rescuing me from this issue. Because of searching throughout the the web and finding notions that were not powerful, I believed my entire life was well over.
