So we estimate you need another 64-80 ounces (sometime during the day) to allow for your 90 minutes in the room. Once you are drinking enough water, your body will tolerate the heat better and you will actually enjoy the heat.

If it does and you're using the tablet form of guaifenesin, try putting each tablet in a gelatin capsule so that it is not exposed to the stomach.
