In really young people, their skin elasticity is the best its going to be and it will not show during early stages of dehydration. In the elderly, their skin will normally "tent" when it is pinched, regardless. Dehydration is measured by input and output. If both of these are down, then you need to rehydrate. Just drink water, but not a lot at once, Drink smaller amounts over longer periods of time. If you are urinating normally and your urine is not dark and cloudy, you are not dehydrated. zombieman5 Posted at 3:58 am on Jan. 20, 2012 Quote: from IGotAddicted at 2:58 am on Jan. 20, 2012 pinch the skin on the back of your hand together, if it sticks together then you're dehydrated... That's what I was going to say :( If it doesn't stick up, you're fine. You just need some rest.
