Do you carry water with you?

[bobba66]

I like making bubbles in the tub.

 

[craigie]

I thought it was a metaphor but knew not what for. Now I'm disappointed I won't find out and will carry that with me like water under the bridge

 

[guy n. cognito]

Back in my day, normals could walk out of their house for an hour or two without carting a beverage and snack....unless they were two. So no, I don't carry an adult sippy cup unless I'm going to be on the road for an extended period.

This may sound strange but drinking too much water can be fatal.

That doesn't sound strange at all.
Too much of anything will kill you.

That's why they call it "too much".

 

[groooooove]

i always carry a 40 ounce metal water bottle. i fill it at least twice a day. i pee a lot.

There is a balance to staying hydrated.

First, I think that some of the recommendations for drinking water are ridiculously excessive.

Second, when you're over 60, if you drink water all day you end up in the restroom every 30 minutes. Not productive.

The amounts of water some people in my office consume is ridiculous. Staying hydrated is important but we're in a climate controlled building sitting in front of computers, not stalking an injured gazelle on the savanna.

Lol!

Yes and in this:

I don't drink water because W.C. Fields said it was unhealthy. (can't post the exact quote here, but you can google it)

I only bring a bottle of water with me to work. The water in this building tastes like it was filtered through mildewed cardboard.

 

[slobake]

Yes and in this:

I have two water bottles, they are old and dented but they still work. My wife uses a Camelback when we go cycling.

 

[Joe Nerve]

I'm a camel.

Funny, but I really and truly have a drinking problem.

Because of the instability of dihydrogen monoxide, I wont carry it unprotected. Whiskey is made using it, so I carry whiskey wherever I go. That way, I always know it is fit for human consumption and wont cause any environmental catastrophes.

 

[Pilgrim]

IMO staying hydrated doesn't mean guzzling water all the time. But it's a habit people get into with coffee and water. I sip coffee most of the AM on workdays, and as a result I'm in the restroom four to six times every morning. That gets old.

It's amazing how many people are ignorant of the dangers of DHMO. Here's some food for thought:

News flash: everything you eat and drink is made of chemicals. Many of those chemicals are found in both food and industrial materials, but that doesn't mean they are bad for you.

OMG!!! It has CARBON in it!! So does carbon fiber used to build cars!! That MUST be baaaaad, right??

But aren't you concerned about all the dihydrogen monoxide you're taking in?

I work in a factory with injection molding machibes so the temperature at my workstation can sometimes get to over 100 F in the summer. I always keep an insulated quart bottle of water with me that I can sip from. No, I don't drink excessive amounts of water but I want to have it on hand so I don't get thirsty, especially when I'm sweating a lot.

I'm very sensitive to being thirsty because 4 years ago I spent a week in the ICU where I wasn't allowed to drink any water the entire time. I developed a burning thirst that was so horrible I'd describe it as like torture. And for the following week, I was limited to 2 oz of water every 4 hours.

So now, I hate being even a little bit thirsty and I bring a refillable bottle with me most places. And since my nutritionist has told me that it's unhealthy to drink anything that isn't water that's pretty much all I drink.

Also, we tend to have clean and good tasting tap water where I live so I don't waste money buying it from the store.

What is great about the Hydro flask is they work extremely well. I can take that jug, FILL it with ice, put in water, then leave it in the car that reaches 100-plus degrees for 8-plus hours: STILL ICE COLD! Never sweats. The ONLY downside with their stuff is they are not cheap but worth every penny.

I found their bottles that I have didn't fit well in my bike drink holder so for that I get disposable sport Crystal Rock bottles.
