No, we hate stopping because it takes you all twenty minutes to pee and then another twenty to get food and snacks. And now your mother's decided she wants a sit down meal and there's a cute shop she wants to visit before we get on the road.
And now it's five in the morning and we've been on the road for sixteen hours and we're still 150 miles from home and you want me to check into a hotel to get some rest when we could have been back in our own beds by 10pm if we didn't have to stop because your bladders are all the size of thimbles.
And I'm paying for all of this.
I saw a comedian who said "The only vacation a father gets is after everyone's in the car and he closes the trunk. That short walk to the driver's seat is so fucking relaxing."
Unless one of these applies, we're driving. And if a stop is required, there are zero acceptable reasons to extend that stop that are not on this list.
That doesn't sound very enjoyable and seems a bit evil. The tank will hardly go a couple of meters before the bottom of the glass cracks and all the fish will fall out on the hot asphalt before suffocating to death.
No. Your body doesn't need a gallon of water every other second. Excess fluids are pointless because your body just pees it out, because it can't process it.
Not to mention too much water can kill you.
People think if you're not peeing 2 times per hour, you're unhealthy. I get CBC + other labs blood work done weekly and I'm perfectly hydrated.
Not to mention if you're going on a long road trip, it's okay to consume less fluids. You won't die.
I drink an absolute ton of water all the time, but I almost never have to go more than every 4-6 hours, if not longer. It's not like I'm holding it either, there's just no pressure to go for at least that long. I normally have 40oz water bottles that I refill at least a few times per day.
