One of my little kids was wondering why the hockey players spit so much, and why do they take a drink of water just to spit it out, and i honestly have no idea.

@the_etrain@alipunk In a word, phlegm. Baseball and football players just spit; hockey players swig water and spit it on the boards of the bench.

@the_etrain@alipunk @the_etrain You don't want to consume to much water or you're going to puke. But if you don't stay hydrated you're going to cramp. So it's take some in, spit the rest out type of idea.

@the_etrain@alipunk @the_etrain When you're very thirsty gulping down lots of water can cause stomach cramps. Swilling some around in the mouth and spitting it out can quench most of the parched feeling, so then only small sips are needed. No idea if this relates to hockey, but a Green Beret taught me it on a hike once. It's something movies always get wrong, showing very thirsty characters taking huge gulps of water.

@the_etrain @alipunk Let's be honest, it's gross but who doesn't like to hork one.

@alipunk @the_etrain I read the other replies about not wanting to pee, and that could be more likely, or as well as I guess.
