[quote=Anonymous]I think sometimes younger people don’t have a great understanding of life in the 60s/70s/early 80s. I played sports and was in marching band. We did two weeks of band camp during the summer. The field temperature was often 115 degrees. There were no black flag days. We practiced all day, broke for dinner, and then rehearsed for a couple of hours at night. All outdoors. It was hot as hell. Of course we drank water. We had those huge plastic water containers and paper cups. We also ate a lot of fruit. People didn’t go without water. My oldest child is 30. Plastic water bottles weren’t really a thing when he played football. But they always had a ton of water on the field. The coaches watched them drink to be sure they stayed hydrated. We also had water fountains. We drank from the garden hose. And we drank a shit-ton of kool-aid. [/quote]
