I think the "3 days without water..." is an estimation, but everyone is built differently, and don't underestimate the will to survive

I’d imagine 3 days with barely moving is also different

Yeah, but if you can hear people above yelling, it gives you hope

Wrong: We are here to help.

Correct: The calvary is here.

I'm an alcoholic so can last 14 hours.

Yeah, it's a very rough estimate. 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water, and 3 months without food. Or 3 weeks without food before you start risking injury but you have to go a lot longer to die.
