Thirst is a poor indicator of dehydration
When you get thirsty you are already dehydrated and you only need to lose 0.5% of bodyweight to get a significant drop in intense exercise ....
Alcohol and caffeinated products interfere with a renal hormone called ADH which when blocked by these chemicals causes you to lose excessive water from the blood i.e. pee a lot. Though this loss decreases as you habituate to regular intake.
