Water shock

For argument’s sake, lets say I am 75kg, just under 12 stone (or 168 pounds, good afternoon American readers ) and that 70% of that weight is water (a conservative estimate) which comes in at about 52 kg or, in fact 52 litres. A large bottle of Volvic is 1.5 litres, I therefore have about 35 bottles of water in me, or one bottle short of six 6packs of the type that you get at the supermarket.

If I could be dehydrated and rehydrated prune-like , at my destination, then I could arrange for my transportation in a handy 23kg pack carried by a friend or relative on a major airline, but not Ryan Air where it would be cheaper for me to buy a ticket and travel full of H2O.
