[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this is near Yosemite and at a high elevation then the combination of thinner air, possible smoke and high heat is probably what did it. We went hike/walking in Yosemite on a not steep mostly paved or dirt path. It didn’t seem that hot, it was shady and I drank beer at lunch. Halfway through I had drank my water and was extremely thirsty and exhausted. There was really no choice but to keep going. I didn’t collapse but when we finally reached the area where the shuttle can take you to the main village and there was a water fountain I was so relieved. I’ve never drank so much water from a drinking fountain. I’m not out of shape but the altitude, beer and heat surprised me. [/quote] Beer is a diuretic. It can lead to dehydration. If the couple had drunk beer, that could have speed up the dehydration process. Drinking beer is not a good idea on a hike, and can lead to further impaired judgement.[/quote]
