I don't drink water. If I drink it, I throw up.
They have thrown that "8 glasses a day" myth out the window. Now they say that it is only healthy to drink until your thirst is quenched. Which is good -- I tend to notice alot of people telling me that they feel bad they can never drink 8 glasses a day because they never get that thirsty. They don't have to worry about it. :)
That's interesting that you say that Jordan. I've always heard about the 8 glasses rule and felt I was miserably failing in that aspect of taking care of my health. I tend to sip water, more recently a bottle of sparkling water (without sugar or caffeine), throughout the day. I barely finish a 20 FL oz bottle per day, if I even finish that. So I guess I probably average about 2 drinking glasses of water during the day. I've wondered if some people just require less water than others, because I also barely sweat no matter how hot I get, and how much I drink. The times I've worked at it and forced myself to drink more than I want, I find myself visiting the restroom every 5-10 minutes for awhile until it's out of my system :o. I wonder if some people just physically require less water than others.
I suppose it's mentionable that I often wake up during the night thirsty and I keep a bottle of water by my bed. I suppose I may sometimes drink an extra glass during the night if I wake up.
Also it's true that you can actually "overdose" on too much water/fluids if you go to an extreme. It's called hyponatremia, and it's when you take in so much fluid you dilute the salt level in the body too far. It's actually more common than you might think, I have typed several medical records dealing with it before in my transcription, but it seems to most often occur in athletes who overdo it in trying to keep hydrated during sporting events.
Pure Bull Run tap water.:)
I usually only drink water. Very seldom do I drink anything else. I don't really know how much I drink though...lol. I guess I'll have to keep track one day. I always have a bottle or glass of ice water in my hand or close by.
Probably 6-10.:) Not enough however sometimes...:rolleyes:
I don't drink water. Like everyone else here who doesn't drink water, I find it tastless, boring or just icky. I will grab a bottle of Propel or other similarly flavored water, but usually it's good ol' Diet Coke for me. :)
