So, how many people die of dehydration per year? Too many—but fewer than last year, and likely fewer than next year. Because humans are amazing at solving problems, especially when those solutions involve a glass of water and a little kindness. Cheers to that.
Now, go ahead and take a sip of whatever you’re drinking. Water, coffee, soda, even a little wine—go on. You’re hydrating in honor of the 500,000 souls we lost, but also in celebration of the millions we’re saving. And remember: you’re made of 60% water, so technically you’re a walking, talking, slightly leaky ocean. Treat yourself well, you beautiful, hydrated creature. High five.
Stay thirsty—but not too thirsty. 😎
