Why am I more dehydrated when doing Dry Jan?

I get that alcohol is dehydrating.

However I am confused that I am more dehydrated doing dry Jan than when actually drinking 4/5 days out of 7.

What are you replacing those fluids with? And if you are detoxing, your body will need even more water, just plain water, not fizzy drinks than before.

Alcohol throws our body’s equilibrium off. It takes time to get it back. Just drink loads of water.

My resolution is to drink more water. I’m finding the more I drink the more thirsty I feel. I know I’ve been not drinking enough water for years and ignoring thirst signals and assuming I’m just more aware of them.
