Serve on the rocks and fend off the urge to vomit. Enjoy, if you can. [WARNING: If you actually try this, you’ll get what you deserve. Sources...
...where he was told he was "too late" to get water. Sweating profusely, he was told the same at mile six - at one of the same stations where, earlier in the day, volunteers were not only handing out cups of water but opening up additional bottles of water to pour over people's heads...
