Sorry! This is a re-upload of an episode that went live earlier today. Thank you to all the fans of SciShow who helped us out by pointing out an error in the original upload and thank you for bearing with us and understanding that these kinds of things do happen from time to time!

Ever wondered what happens to your body if you don’t get enough water? Our bodies are mostly water by weight, so in today’s episode of SciShow Hank explains what happens to your body as it starts to shut down when you go without that tasty H2O.
