Are you truly edge?

[angelchickjb]

I'd probably drink my own piss first, mostly because alcohol is a diuretic.

[swallow]

I'd drink the beer.

[rodrigo]

how is this a test for being truly edge?

[xAllTheRagex]

Beer? In the desert? You're kidding me right? Beer is terrible warm. Hahah!
Beer wouldn't help you anyway.

[xXfartknockerXx]

Only if the woman serving the beer was topless and she gave me a cigarette to go with it.

Any fluid is helpful to keep you hydrated and beer could fend of dehydration. Also some people say that warm fluid is better absorbed by the body to keep you hydrated.

[straightXed]

Okay

So do i win a prize?

the alcohol in it would actually make you dehydrated though.

[xXfartknockerXx]

Dusty's right. You'd piss out more than you drank.

Now if the prize for drinking the beer and breaking edge was a big bottle of water.......

[xsecx]

Dusty's right. You'd piss out more than you drank.

Now if the prize for drinking the beer and breaking edge was a big bottle of water.......

now you're talking.

[Pilaf]

This is an unrealistic scenario..I don't like it.

[swallow]

This is an unrealistic scenario..I don't like it.

Life is.

[straightXed]

If the beer is around 4% or less the effects of of dehydration could be kept off and it would keep you hydrated longer than not drinking at all. At least according to some studies.

[straightXed]

Dusty's right. You'd piss out more than you drank.

Now if the prize for drinking the beer and breaking edge was a big bottle of water.......


And also there have been studies to suggest you wouldn't piss out more fluid than you took in:

“What people need to remember is that fluid is a general term and doesn't refer solely to water. Tea, coffee, squash and milk for children are all equally good fluid replacers. A lot of nonsense is spoken about water being the best way to hydrate, but it simply isn't true.”
- Catherine Collins, chief dietician at St George's Hospital, London; Independent on Sunday 20 July 2003.

“Any evidence that caffeine promotes the loss of water from the body has been greatly overplayed in recent years. It is not based on scientific fact. If you are already dehydrated and consume heavily caffeinated drinks, then there might be a very mild risk of it getting worse. But generally it makes no difference if people drink coffee, tea, cola or water.”
- Ron Maughan, professor of human physiology, University of Aberdeen Medical School; same source as above.

“Maughan and his colleagues have also looked at the effects of alcohol, considered to be another diuretic, and found that, in moderation, it too has little impact on the average person’s state of fluid balance. His results, published in the Journal of Applied Physiology, showed that alcoholic drinks with an alcohol content of less than 4 per cent such as light beer and lager can be used to stave off dehydration.” - same source.

yeah but to take a ridiculous question even further, if you're suffering from dehydration, which is the only way the original question makes any sense, it still isn't something that anyone in their right mind would do. The generally accepted medical advice is to if you're dehydrated to avoid the consumption of alcoholic beverages.

Well i guess if different question that implied you are at risk of dehydration but not as yet suffering from it were asked then the study based on 4% beer staving off the effects would be interesting. Its also quite interesting how many people carry bottles of water around with them now, dehydration seems to be a big concern for people nowadays, but when i was growing up there wasn't convenient bottles of water to carry around. Maybe everyone is worried they will end up in the desert with an offer of a beer so they carry water with them. But yeah, i took it to be a question about if a beer were to be something that could save your life would you consume it, and of course i said i would.

i'd just fucking die! TRUE TILL DEATH MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[XDamonXHawkinsX]

i would drink my own piss first
and also like it has been said many times before alcohol doesnt rehydrate you

[angelchickjb]

HAHAHA!
That was actually a test to see if you guys are smart
The winner is...Dusty! Yay!
Because it would make you even more dehydrated!
You win!
:D

I love how I'm the "dickhead" of the board now or some stupid shit, for reasons of having a good time at a game, where I didn't cause any harm to anybody, but maybe I should go cry about it and be a "pussy" haha, for real....grow up. Nobody got hurt, at least not by me, I didn't damage any cars, I didn't damage any property, but its whatever I don't even know why I'm explaining myself.

You put people at risk of harm didn't you? you attempted to damage property didn't you? You didn't harm anyone or anything but so easily could have done so accept your actions were stupid and wrong, quit trying to make out like you did nothing wrong and accept that people called you out on your stupid behaviour. You'll get a lot more respect that way...or leave it you really want to but stop please stop acting like everyone is doing you wrong and your behaviour was all fine and dandy.
