Hydration is important.

No I have not. 30 degrees in Europe today and I have had maybe 1.5 l of water.

I’m drinking my fourth beer of the afternoon as I write this. Does that count?

“Drank” and “drunk” are forms of the irregular verb “drink”. “Drank” is the past tense form, as in “I drank two glasses of water last night.” “Drunk” is the past participle, as in “She had drunk three cups of coffee before 9 a.m.”

You’re asking “have you…”, so wouldn’t it be “have you drunk”, not “have you drank”?

Is misconjugating verbs a symptom of dehydration?

Delirium and confusion for sure can be, so I think that’d be counted under one or the other, yes.

The fact that people so often use the past tense instead of the past participle is perhaps evidence that it doesn’t really matter, descriptively?

Once you’re fluent you can use colloquialisms, sure, so yeah, descriptively it doesn’t matter really, but most people learning a language sort of need the rules so they can understand once those rules start getting bent or broken. Imo.

I think that it’s a sign that English could stand to regularize further.

Probably stupid but I feel like I’m weird and don’t need as much water as the health officials recommend. Like I’m a more efficient model lol. I also get kind of bloated and gurgley if I have too much water. I’ll drink when I’m thirsty or if I know I’m going out for a while in warm weather.

This is me too. I oddly have like 3 cups of water every day and have been fine. No abnormal labs or anything. Only drink when I am thirsty. Only increases in hot weather or exercise.

Let’s hope your right, otherwise you’re going to experience kidney stones sooner or later. And also all the other effects of sustained dehydration which are no fun and some are irreperable
