Be Sure To Drink (Water) And Drive

It’s not just athletes who need to worry about their performance suffering when they get dehydrated. A recent study published in the journal Physiology & Behavior examined the effect of mild dehydration on drivers who performed a simple but monotonous driving task. Concentration and alertness decreased when drivers were parched and the rate of error went up to the point that the dehydrated drivers’ performance was similar to that of someone who had a blood alcohol content of 0.08 percent. Life is performance, so make sure your body is prepared by drinking plenty of (non-alcoholic) fluids throughout the day.
