Not fiction about the sweating thing. When it is over 110 here it
doesn't matter that it is a dry heat, it's just god damned hot, and
exercise turns on the sweat faucets. I had the rare opportunity last
year to be dehydrated with my belly sloshing around about a half
gallon of juice, O.J., V-8, and Gatorade, but not being absorbed as
fast as I could sweat them out riding up a continuous hill with no
shade at about 3:00 PM. I just kept going until I found a lone tree
that provided some shade and de-biked and sat for about a half hour
while my body caught up some with the fluid absorption. Riding
de-hydrated is no fun and with a full belly of juice it is just plain
maddening, but does happen.
It's very common, nobody can resorb as fast as they can sweat.
If you did as much sweating as you claim you'd know that.
Juice sucks for rehydrating, you'd know that, too.
I know I can't resorb, that's why I stopped and waited. The 3 juices I
mentioned are perfectly good. OJ gives sugar energy and Potassium for
the heart, V-8 gives a lot of sugar, and Gatorade gives you sugar and
Sodium mostly. I just hate straight Gatorade, personal flavor thing.

that much but some of the people I know can, at 6'8" and 350 pounds.
You would not want to walk up to him and tell him he is full of [censored],
could be the last time you argued something stupid. I have worked
outside with him on some heavy products and a half gallon disappears
every time he takes a drink, somewhat more than each half hour.
I'm no 100 lb person. I'm 6'10 235. Your friend doesn't sweat more
because he is fat, he just has less heat tolerance.
Your macho posturing is tedious.
Who's posturing? I have known Dan for 27 years and we tinker on cars,
motorcycles, and electronics things a lot. And how in the hell can you
be 6'10 and only 235? That is way too skinny. Dan is that heavy because
he is an electrician in an industrial plant and has a lot of muscle mass
from lifting things others run from, but fat he is not. He just weighs
about twice what the average person does and sweats that much due to a
larger energy output. He has to eat 5,000 calories a day just to
maintain his weight. Dan is the gentle giant type and I am the
aggressive one, so go figure.
One final note is that it is only possible to maintain that high a rate
of sweat for an hour or two anyway before you get pretty fried from it,
electrolytes, or whatever.
