Do you drink enough water?

[vespertine]

I've been trying to up my intake (skin issues if I don't) and fuck if I'm not running to the bathroom every 20 minutes. It's feasible for as long as I work from home but when I get back to the office (IF), it'll be tough to manage.

I'm also not sure if Klean Kanteen bottles are big in the UK but I went down to buy one the other day and it was £27. S'well is even WORSE.

 

[Star]

I definitely don't

 

[Berly]

I went through a phase of trying to drink a pint an hour between 9am and 4pm and gave up a few weeks in Because of that reason, I was risking getting sacked for spending more time in the toilet than at the desk.

I definitely don’t drink enough though.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

I drink too often.

 

[Halli]

I do, and go to the toilet too much too

 

[GinAg (39)]

I do. Probably not the recommended amount still a lot.

 

[Music]

I drink it all the time, it's the only thing I drink really apart from booze.

 

[Jark]

What IS enough water? There seems to be no consensus.

I probbaly drink a litre a day when it should be two. If I run or go to the gym though (HA) it's more.

 

[Jacques]

I only really drink water when taking medication or trying to avoid a hangover, so I don't drink enough by any stretch. Mostly stick to sugar-free fizzy drinks, juice or squash.

My boyfriend drinks loads and is always in the bathroom (whereas I only need to go two or three times a day). He's obsessed with the BKR bottles.

 

[BoysForSeles]

I consciously do but then that’s been ingrained from competing in sport I guess. I was delighted to discover that your cup of tea counts so I do it easily in that case.

Sounds healthy

 

[win_the_game]

Since I made the decision to get aligners, water is only thing I tend to drink these days.

 

[Diddy]

I thought I did but @vespertine is always making THIRSTY MAWWMAAAA *deathdrops*

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

I see people with KleanKanteen bottles and thermoses everywhere. They’re a bit too big for my taste.

You're a water addict if you're already thinking about your second glass of water before you've drunk your first

 

[Diddy]

I definitely don't drink enough water and I get headaches when I have a busy day because there are no damn toilet breaks. I've started bringing in a tumbler thing with water in it, instead of buying endless PET bottles, because you know, sea turtles and shit

 

[Kate]

I do, but in the form of very weak sugar-free squash.

 

[jivafox]

Me too. Watermelon Vimto which they’ve now suddenly stopped selling ANYWHERE

 

[D5K]

I drink loads of water so my body's become acclimatised which means I seem to get thirsty more quickly than usual.

It's especially bad on a plane, for a long-haul flight I honestly take 5x 750ml bottles of water on board and get through them all (and have to have an aisle seat for obvious reasons...).

 

[Rita]

This is me. I probably drink 2-3 litres a day of either H2O or neat spirits.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I hate squash. What are you? 8?

 

[GinAg (39)]

I always have a pint of water to hand.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I've become rather taken by those cold water tea-bag drinks, which has upped my water intake considerably.

 

[Kate]

I hate squash. What are you? 8?

Just a DASH to take the edge off. Plain water is SHIT.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Untrue. It's everything. This is literal.

 

[Kate]

I was not aware of these investigating now...

 

[Soldi]

Nothing better than a cold pint of water first thing in the morning.

 

[GNL]

I don't like the taste of water

 

[lolly]

I find plain water dull as. I drink it because I know I ought to, rather than because I like it. I'm a fan of the twinings fruit tea bag as well (currently cheap in Aldi), or I also dilute fruit juice instead of squash.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I like how it feels to drink. I can't quite quantity that statement but it makes me feel good.

 

[jivafox]

Any SPARKLING water fans here?

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

In recent years I’ve become addicted to sparkling water, but I only allow myself when I’m in the office.

 

[straightorbroken]

Maybe 2-4 pints of water. I don't suppose coffee on top of that counts. I've noticed my skin isn't quite what it used to be so may need to cut the caffeine a bit (4-6 cups).

 

[D5K]

Sparkling water is vile

 

[Kate]

I like sparkling water but don't buy it to drink at home. I might get a Sodastream type thing if my kitchen wasn't the size of a matchbox.

 

[POP!]

I had to Google "squash", that sounds nightmarish. I used to drink plenty of water but my coffee consumption probably overtakes it.

 

[KindaCool]

I'm usually really good, but for a short time last year I didn't drink enough and it was awful. My voice was hoarse all the time, I'd randomly become dizzy and I got facial acne (obviously the worse symptom).

Water really is taken for granted more than anything else on the planet.

 

[Star]

Oh I'm a squash fan too, just a little bit as Miss @Kate says.

 

[VoR]

I must drink between 5-8 pints of water on an average day. I constantly have a glass to hand.

But then I don't drink tea, coffee or any soft drinks in particular, besides a very occasional coke.

 

[SDF]

Any SPARKLING water fans here?

yes!

as part of my morning routine I drink 700ml of water before I have food. This has really helped me up my water intake. I’m around 2/2.5 litres a day now.

oh and I do enjoy a good dilute juice too
