wow for a wii? but ya I remember her doing that.

I've been trying to drink a lot more water to lose some weight. One thing I found is mio makes it taste a lot better and it says it adds zero calories.. Drinking a bottle of water now.

You'd flush more if you were drinking a gallon of distilled water a day.

Personally I think water IS important. I was tempted to change how much water I drink each day when I have read recent researches that say "Over-doze of water is bad for your kidneys..", "1 liter of water a day is plenty..", etc.

1. Human body
The amount of water in the human body ranges from 50-75%. So ignoring loss of water (perspiration and other bodily waste) is ignoring essence of yourself. You don't need to be spiritual person to acknowledge this fact.

2. People vs mammals
We discussed this with my gf. We compared ourselves to animals. Most mammals will drink enormous amount of water even if they have water in territory. People don't do that. We very rarely consume large amounts of pure water. Actually we "forgot" to drink cause it's available any time. I think we suppressed even the subconsciousness survival instinct of thirst.

3. Water vs other liquids
Oh I drink coke. I drink beer. People say often. Sorry, get the facts about nutrition. If you have too much sugar in your blood, kidney will start to produce more urine to eliminate it. Similarly with alcohol. Coffee and tea dehydrates you as well. Then there are mineral waters. They can be a very good supplement of minerals, but if you drink mineral water too often your kidneys will not like it.

4. Hydration and sports
Anyone who does sports knows importance of this. I heard some sportsmen drink enormous amounts even outside the main season.

Interesting finds about hydratation:

• Many people are most de-hydrated in the morning. A glass of clean, non-sparkling water helps to recover the losses and can kick-start the metabolism. Tested, works.
• If you drink large amounts of tea or coffee, like I do (5 cups pf green tea daily), you should balance the amount with water.
• Timer set for 15-30 minutes is a good reminder for few gulps of water

I don't always follow above, but I try my best. In average I drink 0.35 galon (1.3 l) of water, plus some green tea, plus soup, a glass of veggie or fruit fresh and a beer a day. On days I do sports (swimming, basketball, cycling) I add another 1.3 l on top.

Please don't say this too ascetic, I have my days too ... :upsidedow 3-4 Mai-Tai cocktails + some beers = surely you loose too much water. But they feel soooo gooood! :)

too much of it will drown you :helpme

plenty of water is a must

Mayo clinic Water: How much should you drink every day? - Mayo Clinic

So how much fluid does the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate need? The Institute of Medicine determined that an adequate intake (AI) for men is roughly about 13 cups (3 liters) of total beverages a day. The AI for women is about 9 cups (2.2 liters) of total beverages a day.

Drink 8 cups of jizz. Eh

Skin will look great

Humans are mammals. Come on..

And mammals don't drink enormous amounts of water nilly willy, only what they need (excluding certain Homo sapiens specimens); and especially many herbivorous species gets most or all of their water from the plants they eat.

Around here the recommendation to fulfill average water need is 1-2 litres per day, totally.

64 oz a day is the minimum one should drink, a full gallon or more if you're really active. Add a lemon wedge to make it even more healthy and refreshing. Most importantly, avoid tap water since it has bullshit chemicals added. Spring water is essential. What's everyone's favorite brand of spring water? I like Deer Park, or Berkeley Springs from West Virginia if you can find it.

fish fuck in it

I had a 65-69 pound dog that drank an annoyingly large amount of water everyday. I was constantly filling her bowl and letting her outside. Various vets said she was just drinking what her body told her to drink.

She lived to an old age of 17 1/2 when she started drinking less and less and then died of Kidney failure.

Oh really? I thhought we are fishes. I thought People vs mammal animals is obvious from title.

As for animals, I think domestic animals are different to wild. Looks at how deer drink. They are able to drink for minutes. From what i see in documentaries also canine animals are able to drink a lot. Plus you have to consider whether the mammal has passive / active regulation.

My whole point with this is that having ability to choose WHEN we drink makes us forget the natural instincts once we had.

In the wild, drinking the amount they need until their next possible drink, with some animals going for days without water :2 cent:

Let's not forget, it also matters whether you're using the water in the body. So working out for 2 or 3 hours as a builder or sitting editing a movie, would difference in pints per sitting.

After an hour shoot, sweating, hot lights, losing body moisture, it's easy to drink a litre or so of water :thumbsup

That was exactly my point. Humans loosing touch with instincts and having more convenient environment we rarely do "reserve" drinking.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

:thumbsup:thumbsup

Wild animals don't of course drink all the time unless they live very near of the water source.

I don't think humans have forgot natural instinct to drink. Try getting thirsty sometimes; I guarantee you will find your instinct to drink quite easily. During summer army exercises I surely found mine. Although I have been boyscout too (we did hang out with girlscouts FYI, no gay stuff), but for obvious reasons it wasn't as intense, as we were kids.

If you think that you have lost instinct to drink, you just haven't got thirsty.

Dry food may cause that, as the dry food is.. dry.

about how many ounces are each glass you're drinking?

How the hell is it hard to drink water every day?

Weekend its time to switch on alcohol

Real men drink moonshine

Ya I have never understood this either. Out of anything you can drink water is the easiest by far.

especially nice & ice cold, from a refrigerator :2 cents:

Isn't moonshine alcohol? :helpme

Not drink water, but drink more than certain amount. Every person has that (different) threshold amount, so not sure about your confusion :)

I think Bako was just giving a type of alcohol, saying, real men drink moonshine :2 cents:
