Why is drinking water after working in heat considered “weak”?

This video made me think about it

Then I thought about this too

And when I was a wild land firefighter, working outside in the heat NEXT TO FIRE all day, if you drank a lot of water you were considered kinda “weak” and people laughed about it behind your back. We were encouraged to but culturally it was looked down on you know


How did this happen though it’s not a new thing, in facts it’s an old mindset so hopefully Old Gang taps in. But it’s one of the dumbest ideals I’ve ever seen


Why the fukk would I not drink water while I’m working a lot in the hot ass Sun?? And how does not doing it make me look “tough”?

Willfully being dehydrated and making shyt worse for myself is tough?

You took an L for even giving these goofs attention

It’s…not weak.

To think otherwise is stupid.

thread belongs in the same category as the pseudo science football coaches used to tell you after an intense workout

“There’s no air down there!”
“No hands on hips!”

That’s why I’m asking WHY people even think that/where that thought comes from?

It’s dead makes no sense

They wanted you to die in front of them..

Dangerous game dehydration makes brain trauma more likely.

Anyone celebrating being PURPSEFULLY Dehydrated is a Grade-A idiot, breh.
I wouldn't even had made this thread off the strength of pushing such weird logic all the way the fukk out of my mental, by anyone pushing it.
Yellow snow eating demons.

It isn’t weak, it’s common sense to drink water in extreme heat so you won’t pass out/die.

Whoever is giving you a hard time for that simply don’t like you from the jump.
