I agree - and I've been drinking lots of water daily for a couple of years now. There are other health benefits to lots of water every day. But on a tournament game day - if you don't gotta go, you need to drink.

As a tournament tennis player and ump in the Central Valley these are words to live by.....

Your body takes a while to absorb the liquids. The liquids you drink during the game will get to where it needs to go well afterward. The only benefit you get from drinking cool liquids during the game is just that... Cool liquid to give you a quick fix.
