If you’re not thirsty, you are drinking enough water. It’s that simple.

Drinking water even when you aren’t thirsty is mainly a fad that came about as part of the diet craze, because if you are continually drinking water, you feel more “full” and will tend to have fewer cravings to pig out on food. At least that’s the theory.

Yes for coffee, when paired with cigarettes.

Mix in a little Rye and it might work.

The caffeine in tea and coffee can lead to other side effects...

Now wait just a minute! Caffeine is one of the 5 basic food groups, along with sugar, salt, fat and chocolate.

Some argue that there are 7 basic food groups, to which one would have to add beer and bacon, but I'm agnostic on that.

You can drink too much water. I ended up in the hospital from it, since I was drinking about 3 liters a day, including waking up in the middle of the night and taking a slug from my water bottle. My salts were already very low and then I did a walk in the heat and got home just in time to call 911 and survive the experience.

Drinking too much water washes the salts (electrolytes) out of your body (anetremia) and then you can go into a fatal collapse, shut down and die.

If you’re going to drink a lot of water, make sure it has electrolytes. You can get them in powdered form and sprinkle them into your water bottle.

Also, drinking a lot of water all at once after heavy exercise, heat exhaustion or even things like getting sick from food poisoning can overwhelm your system and cause it to go into a fatal tailspin.

So be careful...take this with a grain of salt, literally.

They quote a nutritionist whose last name is "Fatal."

Hmmm...

[Governor Dinwiddie]

I dunno. A lot of young women survive on diet coke and tic tacs.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Drink water? You mean like what’s in toilets? Drink Brawndo instead; it’s got electrolytes.

[metmom]

Water’s taste is *boring*???

Fer crying out loud, does everything have to be *exciting* these days??????

Just drink the water and quit your whining. Be grateful you have clean, disease free water to drink, for now.

I don’t know, but I’m in the process of finding out.

You can survive on beer alone, my friends and I proved that 45 years ago...
