Bedouins consume all the water they have on hand as quickly as they can, I don't know what the science of water is, but I have always wondered if people who live in the desert all their lives are onto something here.

It might just be a T.E. Laurence lie, I read it in the Seven Pillars of Wisdom, and Laurence made a lot of the stuff in that book up.

If it's not a lie, then I wonder if it's something the body gets used to doing? I've heard that when you're really dehydrated you're not supposed to gulp as much water as you feel like drinking as it causes cramps or some kind of discomfort. I guess I should look up rate of absorption.
