A rehydration drink. Available in any 7/11.

I used to buy the packs of electrolyte salts about 5B from chemists - good for exercise and hangovers.

Was it a long walk then

Forgot to close one of the gates on the farm last night, spent about an hour chasing cow's through the fields

^ I thought only city people left gates open on farms!

Well I was'nt actually the last person to leave the farm, but with me being a man and all, it somehow seems to be my fault

Having worked in the heat for the last twenty five years I know a bit about dehydration!
Forget the salt tablets, the Gatorades etc are nowhere near as good as they are made out to be - good advertising.
Plenty of "good" water - correct PH is the basic, add some sea salt, or lemon or eat Bannanas, coconut milk and the meat very good too.
Good green tea good.
There's not one answer to this problem as we are all different, we all have unique dna - what works for me may not work for you but definatley no "soda's"
Cheers

I drink water a lot at work at the moment. I don't know why then I keep going to a toilet every 1 hour.

Usually 3 to fours hours after going to bed, you will often wake up because of the metabolization of alcohol (and its sugars).

I read that we should drink one oz of water for every pound we weigh.

Rain water[natural distilled] and RO water[forced thru an impermeable solid at 800 psi.] have almost 0 minerals in them, sea salt does have all minerals, table salt has no trace minerals of sea salt because when solar evap. of sea water is done, as soon as the sodium falls out then the rest is dumped and contains the trace minerals and takes a very long time to dry up.
So the rich brine after sodium dumps out is usually pumped to a chemical plant and mag. and all other minerals are harvested, and the sodium was just a by product of the rich brine process.
Gatorade, if you can stand the taste, is what you need, but there are other sports drinks as well that do the same thing..

8 Liters every day, or just yesterday?]

Eight Liters is a lot of waters.

You are likely excreting lots of minerals and sodiums out of you b/c of this.

Increase your sodium (salt) intake. (Possible mild Hyponetrimea.)

Also, you might try taking Mineral capsules at night before bed.

Also try "Gatoraid."
