You have abandoned ship and are in charge of a life raft. How much water per day should you permit each occupant to drink after the first 24 hours?

Correct Answer: Option B — 1 pint

Standard survival protocol mandates withholding drinking water for the first 24 hours to allow the body to adjust. Thereafter, survivors are permitted one pint per person per day to prevent severe dehydration and maintain physiological kidney function.
