To be fair, sometimes the water and unclean water was the culprit, such as outbreaks of cholera. It's not that they had no idea that liquids were helpful, but they usually recommended tea, various broths, and gruel, which had plenty of water in it.

[diet_poison]

This is true. Good point. And broth was and is often a good option for people who are sick.

[tree_and_leaf]

Not a doctor, but as beef tea would have a bit of salt in it, it's probably better for rehydration than plain water.

Also, soup, tea etc would have been boiled, so (even though they didn't know why this was important), it was again a healthier choice.

[diet_poison]

Yeah, I was thinking that about the boiling too.

IIRC, champagne was often the drink of choice. (Or maybe that's just what I remember from The Wolves of Willoughby Chase!)
