I once had a water that had a lot of metals in it to make it base instead of acidic. Basically it was a concentrate and you just needed a few drops per glass of water. If you drank that stuff you completely LIT UP.
Also I've been out in the real desert twice on two different occassions / locations in the world. I've tried to explain the need for water out there to others. It's a weird phenomenon. They never believe me. But the second you step out of the car you get hit with the knowledge you've got a counter over your head on how much time left you've got until you take a drink or you're going to start dieing.
Yup, that’s the desert. At a festival once I encountered a Russian kid, had been drinking only vodka all night. Was messed up . Took it away from him, made him stay with us and pushed water and hydration salts into him all night. He thanked us the next day, he likely would have died as soon as the sun came up.
