Water.

[Shlup]

Do you drink the recommended amount of water every day? I have been doing so for a couple of months now and I just don't feel any different. I guess I get headaches less often, but I pee more often. My pee is also of much higher quality, I think, though it's still neon from my multivitamin.

I also have started putting lemon in my water. Flush out the toxins and ingest antioxidants and whatnot. Also makes your body chemistry a little more alkaline.

Whenever I eat at a restaurant, I order water. I never used to--I used to avoid water the majority of the time. Now it's almost all I drink. The only time I drink soda is when I go out for sushi. I have juice as a treat sometimes. Do you drink water at restaurants? I always feel like it bums waiters out that they'll get a smaller tip, but tipping is a horrid custom anyway. Yet another reason to move to Japan.

One of the few things that I do right for myself health wise is drink plenty of water. I know I go over the amount that you are supposed to have (not dangerously, though). I started the habit, as I mentioned in the Pike's fit thread, when I lost weight years ago. While I eventually put the pounds back on, I still have maintained my love for water. Aside from the soft drink here and there, if I'm not boozing it up, which also doesn't happen too much anymore, I am drinking water!

I also get water at restaurants, but that's because I rather have something more pure if I am eating food. Even if I order something with alcohol in it, I will get a water on the side.

I get water at restaurants because I'm a cheapass and I like it. I also put lemon juice in my water. I usually drink the recommended amount but sometimes I suck and drink sugar all day long.

I have started drinking lots more soda and energy drinks again. I was pretty much only drinking water for a few years, with the occasional beer or coffee as a treat.

Now it's back to cans of sugar. I'm going to become a Fatsle Blubberson VonChubbagutt.

I drink water all the time. Love it. It does put my bathroom visits into overdrive, though.

I drink a lot of water. Lately more so because i've cut off of soda. I also use to never order water at restaurants but now i'm cheap and I like cold water with my meals!

[Jiro]

I should drink more water but currently drinking water is a pain in the ass process so I just don't drink anything.

Water with lemon with crabs mmmm. The lemon with water makes the crabs taste better I dunno why.

Honestly, I've been drinking more lately because my dad buys a bunch of bottled water. It's much easier for me to be lazy and grab that instead of pouring something and then having to wash the glass.

I've been made fun of at restaurants, both by friends and waitstaff (jokingly made fun of in the case of the latter) because I drink water very quickly. I typically go through 6-7 glasses of water during the course of a meal.

I drink a lot though, regardless of the beverage. It's the main reason I don't get fancy drinks or soda at restaurants and why I avoid going to bars.

Doctor says I should get used to not drinking to much cause of a medical condition but when I used to drink a lot it would normally be water.

[Bubba]

I drink water. Which is good, otherwise it would result in a very speedy death.

I drink lots of it whilst I am at work. I also order water at a restaurant to accompany the wine.

Increased toilet visits are only a minor inconvenience.

Water makes me happy inside. I think it's ridiculous that there is a recommended amount. If you're thirsty, drink water; who the hell doesn't get that? xD

[Psychotic]

Addicted to water. Just drank water after typing that. Water at home, water at work, water at restaurants. Keep this lemon trout away from me though. Body's chemistry? What the hell is this gibberish? Stop gibbering.

My pee is also of much higher quality

I like this Shlup quote.

I can drink way in excess of the recommended water per day limit. If I remember rightly you're supposed to drink 1.5L a day. I drink closer to 4L a day on average, a low day sees me down about 2L. The main reasons for this is I work in a building more akin to a big oven than a workplace! I also drink plenty of water when in the Gym which is pretty much every other day or so when possible. Though I do try not to drink too much water before or during my cardio sessions as I find the motion of a full stomach of water to make me feel slow/heavier/less capable. I'd rather be dead thirsty at the end or during my weights than when I'm trying to maintain a constant pace for over 5km on an eliptical.

I drink water all the time. Love it. It does put my bathroom visits into overdrive, though.

You'll get used to this eventually, just takes time. I pee something like 4 or 5 times a day even with the quantity of water I drink.

I find the hydration and purifying effects it has on my body are great, I also find that it makes me more easily get drunk on the weekends if I go out. Whilst being more drunk is not a good thing, spending less cash on alcohol is good
