Millions of Americans suffer from dehydration and don't even know it. Severe dehydration can slow you down, make you feel really ill and even send you to an emergency room.

Dehydration happens when you lose more fluid than you consume. The body must have enough fluid to carry out normal body functions. When it doesn't, you will not feel "normal".

Mayoclinic.org states that in adults, dehydration can cause the following conditions:

  • Extreme thirst
  • Less frequent urination
  • Dark-colored urine
  • Fatigue
  • Dizziness
  • Confusion

Dehydration may also cause rapid heartbeat, impaired kidney function and constipation.

Many factors can cause dehydration:

  • Excessive alcohol consumption
  • Fever
  • Being out in the heat too long
  • Diarrhea
  • Vomiting

and more.

In Las Vegas, partygoers who have had too much fun can get IVs provided by mobile units. You may also buy a bunch of children's hydration solutions and try that. For major cases of dehydration, you may be hospitalized.

In a pinch, you might try a drink that labels itself as being "the IV in a bottle". It's called Biolyte.
