I carry a 24 oz. bottle of water with me 24/7.....I like cold water, so I have 3 bottles I rotate and refill. That way I always have a cold one ready.

I do get dehydrated. I avoid drinking because going to the bathroom is such a monumental task. The physical effort it takes to get on and off the toilet leaves me panting, sweating, heart pounding, arms shaking from exertion. And if I have to go anywhere away from home, I don't drink for at east 15 hours before I leave the house. Because I never know if I'll be able to get to a restroom.
