Water appreciation thread -

[Cosmos]

I drink water like 95% of the time (with only the occasional soda) and I fucking love it. I have a 1000 ml Camelback water bottle that I cart between work and home and get a lot of use out of.

Flavored drinks are nice and all, and I do like to indulge in them from time to time, but nothing beats being really thirsty and then gulping down some nice, cold water.

Stay hydrated!

I like my water room temperature. I literally have a case of it.

Flat water > sparkling water

Water is overrated.

My husband likes to call La Croix “Le Crap”. I agree. The only sparkling water I tolerate is San Pellengrino, and that’s only if juice/flavoring is added.

Honestly, whenever I eat something really sweet or rich like chocolate or especially cake, more than anything else I like to drink water because it helps dilute the taste of sugar in my mouth.

If I wanted fizz with a clear liquid, I'd drink Sprite.

I only take my water at either glacial or scalding temperatures. Anything in-between and it's like drinking spit.

Adding lemon juice and honey to hot water tastes good.

I am made of water therefore I love to consume myself.

I remember when I ate like shit in college. Constant McDonald's and soda. Eventually my body just started aching all the time and I knew I was fucking it up. First thing I did was start drinking water much more often. Within a couple days I immediately started feeling a bit better. Never underestimate how dehydrated you might be if you eat and drink like shit.

I dunno about making water into a lifestyle but just a few months ago I moved and made a rather irritating discovery. An innocuous substance known as maganese permeates the ground water in certain locations.




No big deal right? Hell some of you probably have hard water that smells like farts, that's common around these parts too. Trouble is I haven't lived in this area for a long time, so I was rather surprised to discover my faucets oozing black sludge:



Thankfully its harmless. Or at least said to be harmless, but still, I've learned to appreciate a clean glass of water these days.

It also helps when you're exercising. Have a bottle of water handy. I like to waterfall it.

Reddit hates it when you drink water, btw

I usually drink about 2 liters of water a day.

Im always dehydrated from Mtn Dew

I like Perrier mineral water.

Drinking one now as a matter of fact.

I was actually thinking about shit like this as I was refilling my glass the other day, about people who are such little babies they "dont like the taste of water" (in general, but even people who are normal about drinking it will be like "EW Youre drinking tap water?!").

I was lucky enough I guess to grow up in a city that had good tap water, and I grew up drinking it and its delicious, no real mineral taste--and I get it, I dont like the taste of all tap water, but ultimately, thinking about that made me even more appreciative that I was lucky enough and privileged enough to grow up in a place with standard and guaranteed access to potable, clean water.

Topo chico is the only good one, but Coca Cola bought it out a few years back and now its a hipster expensive thing. I mean Coke already had plants in Mexico and I think owned or worked with the plant(s) that manufactured it anyway but... I always liked the glass cokebottle shit it came in, at least.

I seriously don't understand people who claim to not like water. If you have nasty tap water, that's one thing, but even nice water they'll complain about because "water is so boring" and "I don't like the taste." Bitch, we're like made up of like 60% water, entire civilizations are built around access to water, and your body is literally hardwired to crave water when you're thirsty. How can you be messing up this badly?

Also, same. I'm very lucky to have grown up in (and still live in) an area with great tap water. That's what I drink all the time at home, I just fill up my water bottle in my bathroom and I'm good to go (I do enjoy drinking cold water out of the fridge when I'm in the kitchen area though). I know not all people are so lucky though; when I was a kid the place where my grandparents lived had funky tap water. I don't think it was dangerous or anything, but it had a weird taste. So they just used one of those water dispensers. It sucks to live in a place without good tap water, but if you do I definitely recommend in investing in one of those machines. They're not too expensive and it's way better for the environment to get one of those instead of constantly buying small bottles of water.
