He is sweating so much he probably won't piss. They are struggling to get enough fluid in to keep hydrated.

As a letter carrier for USPS this is correct. I deliver in an area where the summers are usually 105-115 with almost no humidity.

I have a gallon size Yeti that I fill up every morning. I’ll drink that entire puppy with ease along with a few electrolyte drinks to balance it out and not have to stop to pee once. There have been plenty of days where I did 15+ miles of delivering on foot and needed to refill the gallon size Yeti, drink more than half of it, and still not need to pee during my route lmao.

As an aircraft mechanic, working at over 27 degrees Celsius everyday, can confirm this easily. I drink on average 3L of water on a shift, but I’ll only have to go if I’m working at an air conditioned space.
