Water (to drink) - C/D?

Not a big fan o'really chilled water. Hurts me teef. Plus if its been in the fridge too long it seems to always get that icky other-fridge-smells taste. Anyone ever notice that?

soft drinx make kids stupid

sunny d = the devil

At home I drink and cook with filtered water; DC tap water is heavily chlorinated and during the summer develops a nasty-tasting "bloom." And I occasionally buy smaller water bottles, and then refill them with filtered water. Just because I know blatantly manipulative advertising when I see it doesn't mean I don't like to be seen holding a bottle with an Evian label.

i have to admit ned i was terribly scarred by yr desire for a crisp apple, white wine and cheese. i forget the specifics... but the addition of sparkling water freeks me out further. i cannot put a finger on what spooks me so, but it has something to do with knapsacks.. :)

er, make that 16 ounces

I feel a little weird drinking water called "Volvic."

touche.

oh, and to be on-thread - C of course. is there a way to live without it?

most stupid marketing idea ever: ballygowan light water. yes, that's right - light water.

I just asked the supervisor to change the Diamond Springs jug out.

Mineral water tastes best added a few drops at a time into a glass of Laphroaig.

i've never really drank water, i prefer to sip a few litres of no-added-sugar squash every day. but this has me a bit worried, is my drinking pattern abnormal?! are there any serious health risks in drinking this volume of artificially sweetened drinks?

My 16-year-old daughter hasn't drunk water for two years. She says she hates the taste, even chilled, so drinks nothing at mealtimes when only water is on the table. In hot weather, she seems ready to risk dehydration rather than drink it. She has only artificially sweetened squashes, flavoured waters and fizzy drinks. I worry about the health risks, but also about making too much fuss. Should I just let this one go, or should I say something?

Yes, you should let it go. As long as your daughter is taking in enough fluid to keep her well – and she seems to be doing that – it doesn't really matter that the fluid isn't in the form of plain water. If you try to persuade her otherwise, you risk stirring up arguments about it, or accusations of interfering in her life, neither of which you want. She is 16, after all, so is old enough to make up her own mind (legally at least) about what she should and shouldn't drink. So leave it be. Don't bother mentioning it, and she should eventually settle into a normal eating and drinking pattern.

Water is so gross. If my body didn't crave it and overrule me, I'd never drink the stuff plain.

that's absolutely rubbish advice? it's fine because she's 16? xp.

yeah that's pretty retarded. i wonder what her teeth are like.

I'll take mine fizzy w/ citrus added plz. Actually, I drink about a gallon of the plain stuff a day, but it is so built into my routine that I don't even think about it while I'm doing it.

yeah i love water. what is "squash" though?

Lol was just gonna post how the Oasis campaign ("for people who don't like water") is totally bogus and a made-up demographic. Perhaps I'd better not go there.

C'mon though what's not to like? How can it taste gross, it doesn't have a taste!

does "no sugar added" mean sweetened with aspartame or something? supposedly it's safe but it tastes really strange and i don't actually believe it won't give you brain cancer eventually

lemon squash, noun
a drink made from lemon juice, sugar, and soda water; similar to lemonade.

squash is also known as cordial! this stuff:

no *real* sugar in this stuff so shouldn't damage teeth? or do the chemicals in the artificial sweeteners affect the enamel?

If aspartame causes brain cancer, I'm totally fucked.

guys water is amazing just drink it ok

Is Finch's "squash?" <3<3<3 that stuff.

i don't know if fake sugar is bad for your teeth but i would think drinking several quarts of lemonade per day is bad for them!

i used to love diet coke but pretty much stopped drinking any soda and now when i drink it or eat anything with aspartame in it it just tastes like *BLECH*

yea i'm unclear on how someone couldn't like water, but i've heard it from enough people to know that it's fairly common

I just drank about 10oz of water. It was disgusting, but I choked it down.

if it tastes bad, maybe you need to filter it? but jeeze, i can't imagine not wanting to drink the ESSENCE OF LIFE.

yeah it's great!

"Water is the strong stuff
It carries whales and ships
But water is the wrong stuff
Don't let it get past your lips
It rots your boots
It wets your suits
Puts aches in all your bones
Dilute the stuff with whisky
Aye, or leave it well alone"

If it tastes bad, maybe you just need to add some artificial flavor & high-fructose corn syrup to it? Oh, and booze helps.

A Californian woman died of water poisoning after taking part in a bizarre drinking contest to win a computer games console, according to US authorities.

^^ a good example of why puns should be avoided.

It's from a machine at work, pretty sure it's already filtered. I just don't like water.

why how what's not to like damnit!

not liking water is like not liking air

"I say to myself
What is happening to my skin?
Where is that protection that I needed?
Air can hurt you too
Air can hurt you too
Some people say not to worry about the air
Some people never had experience with..."

when i saw the titlemi was goimg to write WHO DOESNT LIKE WATER. then i read the the thread and was like o right, ilxors dont , of course.

i used to hang out with a hippy cult that preachd that water was bad for u. knew dudes that hadnt drank it for years. dumb

You know what would be funny? Following around a picky eater who also hates water and just before they eat or drink anything, whispering "THAT'S POISON!"

I love water. I hate when restaurants put a slice of lemon in it though.

We have a filter at work, and everyone else is eww it tastes gross, I don't know what is wrong with them.

laurel do you like seltzer?

Bowie repping for my fav bottled water <3

missing from lineup: grapefruit La Croix - add a lime wedge for super-tastiness!

I like the grapefruit La Croix because I like to overpronounce "pamplemousse." I will try it with a lime wedge!

Water is amazing. I drink two pints with dinner most evenings and about 1.5 litres during the day, after which i change my system of measurement it seems. Occasionally I dilute some squash or whatever but water rules. Never touch coke etc these days. Love fizzy water tho, san pellegrino, Perrier, or just cheap shit....of man's many loves his affair with water is one of the most passionate and enduring.

I like seltzer with food, TZA!

Basically I use herbal tea or some added citrus, depending on the seasons, to make water more palatable to me. In winter I drink many many pints a day, in the form of peppermint or chamomile or hibiscus or similar tea.

We got one of those soda machines - S0dastr3am? A lot cheaper than the soda siphon, though they sent flvaors, which we aren't terribly intersted in. I did find a page that has recipes of a sort for mineral waters, so if I ever get it together to get some of the chemicals, I'll give that a try...

For how much longer?

I carry water around in a bottle flask thing which works ok.
THink I tend to drink squash when I'm at home or some form of Coffee or herbal tea.
Have been using water instead of milk in cereal recently which just about works with the combo of muesli and bran cereal I tend to eat for breakfast. Trying to work out if not drinking milk might clear up some possible allergic reactions I've been dealing with for years

I haven't drunk anything other than water for the last 5 years. before that used to drink a lot of lucazade, ribena, diet coke etc. feel a lot better now and my teeth are in better shape.
