Re: A non-fandom secret

Well, hang on. Consenting adults (and let's give credit to teens, too) should have every right to not drink water during the day if they want. This isn't a "typical" practice, it's a limited-time-period religious tradition. Frankly, first off, it's not really any of your business. Lots of teens (and adults) drink pop all day and not a drop of water, so don't limit your health concerns to Muslims. Dehydration goes beyond them.

If your concern is limited to, should school faculty disallow players for following unhealthy or dangerous food and water intake habits.. I agree, a coach's first and foremost priority should be the safety of their players. But again, unhealthy habits really extend beyond Muslims playing football - how about wrestlers who starve themselves for a week or two to make a certain weight class? A coach needs to make that judgment - if a Muslim player looks unwell, they need to be benched.

You should also keep in mind that the Koran is somewhat practical. If you are ill, on your period, even traveling or in weird circumstances, you are not only allowed but encouraged to break your fast. (You can choose to make up the days some other time in the year). It's surely a practice in asceticism, but there are specifically guidelines that give allowances for not being well. So if a Muslim athlete began to suffer from dangerous dehydration, s/he would basically be obligated to drink water and stop fasting for the day.

You're general point is correct. But a drink is a drink. Someone isn't going to be dehydrated just because they drank soda instead of pure water. In fact, you get a lot of the water you need from food.
