- pmoriarty 10y agoThe rule of thumb is that you can survive: 3 minutes without air 3 days without water 3 weeks without food So you're probably not going to die without food if you go even for some days without it. In fact, many people regularly fast for days on end, some (such as people on hunger strikes) have fasted for weeks. Of course, all of the above rules of thumb are subject to modifications based on things such as the amount of physical exertion you're under, your health, the weather, etc. If you're doing lots of exercise in the heat, you're going to need a lot more water than if you're lying still in the shade.
