I'm sure lolgaxe probably has some stories about people in basic training or whatnot collapsing, since army training is way more intense than what I'm doing.
See, we drink a lot of water. A lot. It's simply necessary considering the environments we go to and the amount of activity we tend to do. Have to stay hydrated. So at nights there were "Hydration Formations." It's were you take a canteen of water, which is about a quart and stand there, holding it out in front of you. The instructors inspect to make sure it's full, and then everyone has to start drinking, the whole thing, while the instructors count. The longer it takes everyone to drink, the more push ups you had to do afterwards. Now, a quart of water is not a little bit, and most people simply don't start off with the capacity to drink that much at all, much less as fast as possible. So much spewing the first week (including myself) that it was hilarious.
That sounds... painful, to be honest.
It also reminds me that I need to drink more water.
