Dehydration means less water means lactic acid buildup isn't being taken care of as efficiently as it could be, which can cause joint pain.

Dehydration can make you very sick. That is what happens before people die. Dehydration, organ failure, death.

You should be drinking 4 to 6 16 ounce bottles or glasses of water a day.
