Well, I've been doing some research about this, and some sources said that a man can only live up to 3 days without water, very few said about 5, and one said that a man can live for a whole week without water, then lose conscience, and live in that condition for another week while his heart and lungs still work. What do you think?

Wow... I've never encountered those sources. I know, however, that, on the average, humans can live for only 2 days without water. I doubt anyone can live without water for 5 days, much less, two weeks.
You coorect usually 3 days is the max for anyone to live without water, but I don't remember if the body starts shutting down or you just drop dead though. I found this interesting quote and I believe it is the most accurate of pictures with how long you can survive without water, "3 hours without shelter, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food." After reading a couple of articles it would see that a slow shutdown of your body is the most likely course as dehydration sets and starts ruining some organz and such, but of course I don't think anyone would test that theory though but growing up I always heard 3 days.
Thanks. This is actually a way voluntary death is brought to life in several countries (where it is legal and hospitals are allowed to help you die if you want to). But the article said that a person can survive for almost 2 weeks - I doubted that, that's why I asked.
I went 2 days w/o water on accident once, and I was at work, and all the sudden my hands fell asleep (exactly like how you feet or legs do from lack of blood), it was on Black Friday no-doubt, and I work as a salesman, (so you know), it was freaky, but once I downed about 3 cups of water I was fine shortly thereafter. Its pretty scary when you can't feel your hands, you get dizzy from the simplest motions, and walking is tiring.

I think that's a rather inaccurate quote... Some people in our country have lived entire lives without shelter. Also, people can last up to two months without food. As for the three days without water... I think 3 days is the point where the dehydrated person dies, not where his body starts to shutdown. I could be wrong, though, lacking the initiative to back up my statements with verifiable sources at the moment
perhaps stmike is supposed to say "3 minutes without air" instead of "3 hours without shelter", at least when it pertains to Nature's 3-3-3 survival rule -- air-water-and-food in the sequence of surviving without, in timeframes of minutes, days, and weeks. the "3 hours without shelter", though not in the usual 3-3-3 quote is a generally accepted rule -- in extreme hot or cold conditions. another similar rule exists pertaining to 3 minutes in freezing water before hypothermia sets in.
I dont really know how long a man can survive without water. But i have heard of something crazy like this.
There is a village at north america ( if i remember correctly !!! ) occupied by some native tribals . And the water over there stays highly contaminated. So, the locals use some kind of a plant juice for all their needs . i.e, they take a liquid from these plants and use it as a substitute for water.
As i had seen it on a footage on a television channel, i do not remember the exact name of the village. But, if it is true, then a man could live for his whole life span without water, provided he has a substitute for it.

How much time a man can live without water is depends on many factors. For a healthy man, main factors are environment temperature and relative humidity.
If environment temperature is high, it will cause more water losses from body and lead to early die. But if the temperature is normal, it will cause less water losses from the body and the person will survive more.
Again if relative humidity is low, it will cause more water losses from body and lead to early die. But if the relative humidity is normal, it will cause less water losses from the body and the person will survive more.
In general, one person can survive 2 to 10 days without water depending on the rate of water loss from the body.
So, I think 3 days, 5 days, 7 days all data is correct depending on environment where the experiment is done. If this experiment is done in a hot low humidity area, the person will survive less time than a high humid and normal temperature area.
I always found this question quite interesting, so I decided now to do a bit of research by myself. Most of the answers here seemed a bit speculative, so I thought I should turn to a somehow 'authorized' source.
From wikipedia, a page about survival skills: 'A human can survive a maximum of three days without the intake of water assuming you are at sea level, at room temperature, and a relative humidity'.
These conditions are the most favourable for 'without water' survival, wereas colder/warmer temperatures, different humidity just decrease the period.
You can also survive more if you prevent water loss. And, from the same page, the record: 'The crew of a lifeboat reportedly lasted 8 days without water'.
in cooler places you could live more in hotter places you go unconscious faster. 2 days without water seems you could even 3-4 ...but that's not for everybody... if you're enough hydrated and stay in a cool enough place not in the sun you could survive more...if not you'll die most probably in the second or the third day. Also is a sure thing that if you keep thinking about the last time when you drank enough water and you were well hydrated you can fool your senses and think that there is no problem... I don't recommend to try something like this because you can loose your consciousness and you'll be unable to call for help, anyway I daub that is somebody willing to try this
I was always told that you can live without water for 2 days. But I began to doubt when I didn't drink anything for almost 2 days and I only had huge headache and felt weak.
Well, I would say 3 days is the time where you drop dead because let's analyze it logically... Your body is made up of 70% water, you need around 1.5 - 2 liters of water daily, all metabolic reactions in your body require water, all your other body functions require water to be present, your blood is made up mainly of plasma (which is basically water)... so if you do not supply your body with water, soon your body functions will stop, your metabolic activity will cease, your blood pressure will drop, and finally within 3 days maximum you will drop dead lol! So yeah, I believe it's 3 days maximum and 2 weeks is tooooo much!! I strongly doubt that a man can stay alive for 2 weeks without drinking any water!

Well basically I know this guy and I'm kinda friends with him but not that much like we
aren't the best of friends, but we get along OK. He's been going out with a girl since
christmas and they have recently been going through a rough patch, through lots of encouragement
from the outside it has been ended. Now I am pretty interested in the girl, and I reckon she kind
of is me as well. There's no real doubt that we won't hook up. It's pretty obvious.
Herein lies my question. How long should I have to wait. We did joke about her "having an affa....
The Scarlet Letter is most definitely a novel to remember. This novel brings so much to the table,
there is a little bit of mystery, deceit, evil, and so much more. The Scarlet Letter is full of
symbols, themes and motifs. To fully comprehend the novel, an individual must read it more than
once. Nathaniel Hawthorne uses very vivid imagery, yet the story unfolds quite slowly. One should
have much patience while reading this classic, though in the end one will get rewarded. The Scarlet
Letter has feeling, strength and love. What more can one ask for? There are no action sc....
The nuclear safety adviser in Maine is being paid $71,000 a year and yet there is no nuclear
plants in Maine. Maine lawmakers were supposed to remove the funding for the nuclear safety adviser
position yet again but the funding was snuck back in last minute. The crazy thing however is that
there is no such post. In 2005 the Legislature cut the position however they did not cut the funding
for it so the nuclear safety adviser is being paid a $71,000 salary plus benefits and office
expenses totaling $118,000. In 2004 an agreement was reached where by the ....
Well it seems Google is going ahead with service even though the huge security risks that are
involved in this program. Of course, they are well aware of the problems that come with this, but
even if they got military grade security on their servers, there is far to much risk having your
medical records floating around on the internet. However, its not like they have been circulating on
the net for years through computer databases and what not, and that really surprises me that
hospitals haven't been attack or if they have, they been keeping it hush hush for years. ....

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby is much like an onion. On the surface there is the hard outer
layer, but to really understand it, one has to dig into the fresh insides. On the surface of The
Great Gatsby Fitzgerald portrays a romantic love between a man and a woman, but inside the real
meaning is much deeper. Fitzgerald depicts the 1920’s as a time of decay social and moral values,
evidence of this is the greed and the pursuit of pleasure. Jay Gatsby’s constant parties epitomized
the corruption of the American Dream as the desire for money and worldly pleasures ov....
In All Quiet on the Western Front, Erich Maria Remarque progressively shows the brutality of war
through the eyes of soldiers claiming their innocence. Remarque describes the war as a beastly
adversary to these soldiers; furthermore he depicts the killing of enemy soldiers as a game for the
Germans. Throughout the duration of the book, Paul Baumer, the main character, is portrayed as a
once innocent adult that becomes emotionally desensitized by the war. The goal of All Quiet on the
Western Front is to show how unromantic war truly is. War novels are known for emphasizin....
Water is one of the most important nutrients for any living organism. Water do not contain any
calorie, it do not have amino acids to build our body. But still water is one of the most important
nutrients. Animal body contains more than 70% water. So all animal (including human) needs
sufficient water for proper functioning of their body. How much water intake is required per day
for an animal is not fixed. The intake of water depends on body size, level of activity,
temperature, humidity, and other factors. The more water loss from the body results more requirement

It talks about how screwed up we are and that it is our fault that we are screwed up. I agree with
almost all of it. The one thing I find most interesting is that we are "cursed" with
conscienceness. It does give us all the problems we have but it also makes our lives much more
interesting. Instead of just doing what is essential for our survival like everything else, we look
for meaning in our lives. This is like trying to find a needle in 8 billion tons of hay-stacks. W....

News Article Just recently, in the outlying town of Toowoomba, the residents there have recently
rejected a plan to drink recycled sewerage water, although our state premier is planning a
referendum over the issue. Theres an interesting debate here whether to purify recycled sewerage
water to make it drinkable, personally though I'm against it because of concerns about the water
quality, and the potential problems if the water isnt purified properly to make it drinkable. ....
Looking at water, you might think that it's the most simple thing around. Pure water is
colorless, odorless, and tasteless. But it's not at all simple and plain and it is vital for all
life on Earth. Where there is water there is life, and where water is scarce, life has to struggle
or just "throw in the towel." Pure water has a neutral pH of 7, which is neither acidic nor basic.
