The incidents of stones in pilots is rising rapidly. Locked door + getting older + not hydrating enough + dry environment = bad news. Thought one of the 1.5L bottles a flight/day was sufficient. Not so.
1G is the magic number, and don't take any sh!t from any of the ranchers about coming out more than once a flight.
Very true. Also dehydration can cause a lot of muscle issues as well. That generally rears its head while you are lying in bed. You will be stricken with major leg/calf cramps. That too is a sign of dehydration. My wife gets them all of the time, and it is always after she has failed to drink a liberal portion of water that day.
