I was told to drink in addition to eat when I'm "hangry". Grandpa was an instructor for desert warfare (or sth that deals with training in the desert), and he constantly praised the virtues of being hydrated. He said dehydration turns Devil Dogs into snippy, ineffective devil puppies.

"If dehydration can fuck up a Marine, it'll do the same or worse to you" was something 6 y/o me never forgot.
