Salty mouth, how much should I drink?
So,
After doing some Googling, I think my salty taste in my mouth is due to dehydration. I could believe that, because I never seem to drink the recommended glasses of water a day...
I'm curious first, foods or drinks may have caused this?
And second, how much water should I be drinking to get this horrible taste out of my mouth?
So, 2 nights ago, on November 13th, I had like 2 shots of New Amsterdam Vodka, and 2 Miller Light beer bottles and 1 Hieniken.
I understand, that that may be the sole reason for my dehydration because it makes you urinate, therefore depleting my body's water.
Anyways so yesterday, Nov 14th, when I woke up, I tasted a mild salty taste. But at that moment, since it was the first time I tasted such a thing, naturally, I couldn't describe the taste.
As the day went on, I realized around like 8pm, that what I was tasting was "salty", and that's when I finally Googled it and discovered this.
By the way, Between Nov 13 and 15th....Nov 13th at night, I had those drinks listed above. On Nov 14, I had probably like 2 small cups of Coca-Cola, and about 2.5 glasses of water.... and Nov 15 so far, I've had 1.5 glasses of water...
So since some time has been lost between Nov 13th and 15th.... now I'm about a day behind on drinking water to cure myself,
1) My question is, how much water should I be drinking?
My daily habits, I usually range somewhere between 2-4 glasses a day.
Should I double the dosage?
2) And second, do these things take time? Like a few days? Because the taste has seemed to gotten stronger, since I realized it tasted salty....and I just hope it doesn't get stronger and stronger as the days go by.
Thanks guys!
At this point,
I wish I had some Litmus paper, so I can test the acidity of my saliva.
