    To all those who are complaining that crayfish should be called crawfish let us consult Wikipedia:
    "Some kinds of crayfish are known locally as lobsters,[3] crawdads,[4] mudbugs,[4] and yabbies. In the Eastern United States, "crayfish" is more common in the north, while "crawdad" is heard more in central and southwestern regions, and "crawfish" further south, although there are considerable overlaps.[5]"
    So everyone is right!!!! Mhahahahahaha

    It seems to me that those people or crayfish accustomed to being in a crowd would be more likely to hallucinate that others are present when drunk alone, whereas those accustomed to being alone would be less likely/take longer to hallucinate that others are present. The hallucinations result in the flipping behaviour.

    I might be really, really wrong. But I think it might be something to do with a herding instinct of some sort. If you are in a crowd, you are safer. Either because they will take care of you, or because you become one of many and your likelihood of becoming a predator's dinner is lower. And so if you're alone, your body may try to resist the effects of drunkenness more in an attempt to get you to a safer location.

    They add sodium to sports drinks to increase absorption. Your body needs the electrolyte WITH the water, and salt is an electrolyte. With low electrolytes in your diet (read: low salt), your body will treat more of the water as excess and pass it faster to restore/maintain the right electrolyte level in your blood. I thought this was well known already.

    @wezul 7 років тому

    I've heard that having peanuts, pretzels, or other salty foods at a bar will entice people to drink more. Apparently many people go for a sip of water after eating salty foods. However I've known for years that salt makes people (or at least, women) retain water. So I figured a salty diet would make you less thirsty. Maybe women are more inclined to notice water retention?

  • @erinbranscome7015

    re: salty foods and thirst... Is that conventional wisdom? Huh. My dad always told us to eat salty foods if we were out hiking or driving, or other situations where we didn't have a whole lot of water, because it was supposed to help us retain water and not get so thirsty/dehydrated. (Until we could get someplace with water -- like, he didn't leave us dehydrated; it was a stop-gap measure.)
