Well, I in my 3rd week of living and working in hot muggy conditions.
I'm sorry to say I've had enough of drinking water and cordial and supplemented some of my water intake to low carb drinks - Carlton Dry. :1062:
I've been drinking at least 4lts of water a day and I'm starting to lose the taste of water. Sad. Very Sad.
I can't wait to get back to the hot dry heat (40+). Lovely. lol
Signed
Melting Away.

I've lived in Brisbane but worked last year in rockhampton as a boilermaker welding oxy cut and arc air gouge heavy plate 20 to 80 mm plate days were touching 40 plus humidity was 50%- 90% with no rain and the artificial heat and wearing leathers. Id go 1.5 litre water bottle and buy powdered gatarade and drink 2 each a shift. Toughened me up this yr in Brisbane I haven't felt it as bad
A/C
All else becomes irrelevant and the Carlton Dry's still taste the same
Altho up in the Territory I did notice that Crabbing or chasing Barra is just as good as A/C and the beer tastes even better... curious eh...
I prefer dry heat to that rubbish sweaty stuff up north........... Right now though I could go some snow!!!!!!!
when i started in central qld summer the year before i was drinking 12 L of water a day and couldnt piss a full cup. high 40's and 90% + humidity. It was crap
Been in Qld for years now and gotta say i'm still not used to the bad days in Brissie yet...the mid to high 30's with high humidity kills me. If you could bottle my sweat you would be one rich individual! Much prefer Sydney/Newcastle/W'Gong weather but can't beat the people in Qld! Best bunch around.....sorry to all you Mexicans! - This is the trade off i'm willing to take. I do love dry heat and crisp country mornings down south though!
LOL AB!
Spent 6 months in Darwin, July to December, and couldn't get away from the place quick enough. Humidity is a killer. Mind you, by the time I left I was down to a weight I hadn't seen since I was about 19 :)
