Drinking water is not the same as consuming water. Due to any electrolyte imbalances, malabsorption, or any other deficiencies, you may in fact not even be absorbing the water you drink. As a rule of thumb, it’s said that when your pee is clear you’re in the clear, however this is not the case for everyone.

Some people’s urine does not change to a yellow color due to a lack of bile salts in the system, and they are in fact much more susceptible to being dehydrated than those with regular bladders. Regardless, here are some of the best alternatives to water at quenching your thirst.
