Even though I think it's an absolutely crazy idea to not drink water during the day in June.
even outside of Ramadan, the Muslims, well at least the Egyptian ones, were loathe to hydrate. Israeli forces exploited this during the 6 Day War and essentially ordered their troops to drink upwards of a gallon of water/day during the conflict. One of many ways the Egyptian army effed itself.
Why wouldn't they hydrate? Are they so used to saving water?
