Reply To: But what if you have water with you?

Health: So I’m pretty certain that I don’t have to carry more water with me, because if so, the poskim would bring that down in the discussion about the guy who is traveling with no water, and say that a person should really carry water.

I think the question is only once I am there, and I have water and want to eat. Obviously, if I need the water to avoid getting sick, I am fine.

The question is what if I need to water to avoid being uncomfortable. That is similar to the discussion in the shulchan aruch about they guy being hungry and not wanting to wait an hour and a half to eat. The halacha is that he can eat as long as he is very hungry–even though he will not get sick at all! Because he will be uncomfortable.

I just don’t have a rubric for comparing this discomfort with that discomfort.
