Hi All

You have a reasonable supply of food to last you the next 2 weeks... but you are running low on drinking water...

You do however have 2 slabs of beer and loads of bottles of wine....

So the question is:

If you use the alcohol as your "water" will the diuretic effect of the alcohol be worse than the benefit gained from drinking it?

In other words are you better off to drink the alcohol for hydration... or just stay dehydrated?

Beer and alcoholic drinks in general were a way of preserving food. As long as you don't go on a mad session I'd imagine you'd be fine with one or two alcoholic drinks a day. Of course you could always boil the water out of the alcohol if it's having a negative effect. Or just collect rain water there's plenty of that.
