[Scythe13]

To rehydrate we used to put a pinch of salt into flat cloudy (full sugar) lemonade. One of the guys I was at uni with was doing his Phd on the principle that instead of using saline solution to rehydrate a person, which is expensive to set up and takes a lot of professional time, doctors and nurses should just use flat cloudy lemonade with a tiny bit of extra salt. He was telling me untold similarities to the liquid/plasma/techincialCrapICan'tRemember in the blood and the properties of the lemonade in regards to the sugar increasing insulin, which pushed the liquid into the body to rehydrate, and anything beyond that is well beyond my ability to understand.

After nights out, everyone used to pump up on the lemonade. Poor Somerfield never understood the deluge of students buying it up before the weekend! haha
