Sensible? How can there possibly be a defined and fixed amount of water one must drink per hour? Surely that must depend on the individual (physique, fitness, metabolism, preferences etc) as well as what sort of physical work, temperature and humidity....................the correct amount must be "enough"? Taken to absurd extremes, we could have "fluid intake supervisors" going round with stopwatch and clipboard monitoring everyone's intake, and of course producing forms to demonstrate that the guidance has been fully compied with..... And surely you only need an epi-pen if there is someone on the team with an deathly allergy?
