It sounds like lack of sleep and dehydration might be an issue. Too much sodium, too much caffeine, insomnia…the list of issues while traveling that can cause these issues is long. Why focusing on booze? Do pot causes these?
That was my point….Too much sodium and/or sugar from the munchies is a possibility, but CBD more often helps with insomnia than not. But why stop there? Blood thinners increase the risk of IPE, statins strain your liver and can wreck your pancreas -- I'm sure that's relevant to diving too.
As a (mediocre) triathlete myself, I think the message is finally getting through that over hydration and hyponatremia is worse than a little dehydration. The winners of long endurance sports races tend to lose a few percent of their body weight from dehydration but this doesn't inhibit performance.The evidence is from triathletes who deliberately overhydrate for long races. Between their definition of "overhydrate" and the level of exertion they go through, it's not clear that their data applies to us regular folks.
Also they tend to not die of IPE, only not finish it the top 3.
