Also make sure to drink plenty of water the next day. You might not realize it, but your body will be dehydrated the next day. Don't let the "hangover" linger further into the week.

From military experience, I can say that you most definitely want to be drinking water prior to the event. Not just one day prior.. I mean.. start drinking the recommended amount as far out as you can.

Water intake: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/water/NU00283

The Mayo Clinic suggests that 3 liters a day for an average, healthy male is sufficient. To me, that is a lot of trips to the bathroom. The article mentions the 8 glasses of water a day suggestion (1 glass = 8 ounces), and while it is not the full recommended amount, it could still be a great improvement over your current intake. Also, remember that foods offer water as well.

To echo the responses on this post and in the great words of my past Drill Sergeants: "Foot Powder and Water."
