Do you drink much/any water?

[dogsandbudgey]

I don’t. I’m a complete Coke Zero addict. I have approximately 4 cans a day but could easily have more if I wasn’t thinking about it. I’m trying to cut back and im trying to up my water intake. It’s not easy but for me it’s just breaking the habit.

am I alone? Does everyone else drink lots of water and never have any fizzy drink?

I try to. I drink it every day but also love coffee, cold coffee drinks & Coke Zero.

I have 1 coffee and 1 coke a day. Water the rest of the time.

I don't love water, but I love green beans.

I never come into the house saying "I could murder a glass of water" as I just don't find it as satisfying as a cup of tea, especially on a cold day.

I'm similar to you @dogsandbudgey I drink mainly fizzy drinks (diet coke or flavoured water, occassionally I have squash) Fizzy water makes me feel ill though.
This year I've tried hard to drink more water but I'm still only up to 750ml - 1 litre/day. I haven't noticed any benefits but I need the loo about 7 times a day at work! I can't compute how people are drinking eg 3 litres of water without going for a wee every 10 minutes!

Water is definitely my favourite drink but the water where I live isn’t nice at all so I’ve got a filter tap. When I go back to where I grew up I look forward to the water!

I also drink tea and wine. And occasionally beer on a hot day. I never drink juice or fizzy drinks. My dd is 21 and she’s never had a coke which is quite strange I think but there you go.

I drink three or four glasses of water every day. Fizzy drinks are more a treat, I don't drink them every week, let alone every day.

I drink quite a lot of water about a litre a day. And lots more I suppose through cups of tea. I don’t drink a lot of fizzy juice at all

They are not dehydrated because tea coffee and juice all count as fluids

Anywhere between 2-5 litres a day

I drink mostly tea and coffee, a little water, and also wine or beer. Sparkling water sometimes, but no fizzy drinks or minerals as we used to call them in my youth. Also no cordial.

My favourite drink of choice.
I drink to quench my thirst.. not for the taste.
I drink loads.. take two flasks ( 500ml each) to bed too.
I never go out without a flask of cold water.. just bought a new American fridge freezer with a water dispenser.
My Granny always told me to drink water.. it's great for your skin.. she had wonderful skin and l still get complimented on mine age 66 ( no cellulite either,).

I drink gallons of water, I love it. Other than black coffee in the morning, I pretty much only drink water (occasionally tea). I have a particular brand of fancy fizzy water as a treat at the weekend, it's genuinely my favourite drink (god that's bleak).

I'm amazed that there are those who don't drink water at all. In supermarkets I find it sad that there are aisles full of fizzy drinks and huge bottles of cheap pop. What a waste of resources, transport, the cost to health etc. Should be an occasional thing rather than an everyday standard.

You drink a litre of water at night?
How many times do you get up in the night to use the bathroom?

I'm amazed you are amazed. I prefer hot drinks. I don't love water and never fancy it.

It is a fallacy that tea and coffee don't contribute to your fluid intake. The diuretic effect is less than you think.

I CBA to cart a large bottle of water around with me if I am popping out for some grocery shopping. I don't even take a handbag with me.

For the record, I do drink water but I don't guzzle litres of it. It just doesn't hit the spot for me.

I drink a lot of water if I keep an insulated water bottle filled up - when I left it at work one Friday I noticed I drank hardly any over the weekend! I have a 950ml one and can easily fill it 3 times in the day, plus drinking 2 or 3 mugs of tea.

I do drink fizzy, but not every day, either a 7up (with or without gin!) or a caffiene free pepsi max usually.

I love tea, both the taste & it quenches my thirst.

I don’t like water, & have to force myself to drink it in a ‘it’s good for me’ way.

I’m generally not somebody who feels that thirsty, I can go for a few hours without a drink of any kind. I never carry water, & the idea of sipping away at it is alien to me. The rest of my family love it & drink it constantly, they think I’m nuts not to like it!

I’ve always drank loads of water as I don’t drink tea, coffee or fizzy drinks, I never have. Whilst I am still fat I do have great skin which I believe is the water.

I rarely have fizzy drinks, if it's a really hot day then perhaps I'll have a pepsi maxx cherry . But just one. I've never developed the appetite for lots of fizzy drinks, I think it's down to cost really. I'm pleased I've avoided it cos my friends with pop addictions have terrible dental problems.

I'm no Saint and for a long time mostly drank tea. I do consciously have water with meals these days just to make sure I flush my system!

There's worse addictions to have though OP!

I was told off by my doctor for drink6 litres of water a day - I’ve reduced it to around 4. I also drink black coffee and cider but fizzy drinks only ever if out for a meal ,which is pretty much never these days),
I grew up without good drinking water and now I find it gard to go without drinking water after two hours (I’ll drink about a pint every time),

I drink caffeine free Diet Coke, allowed myself 2 cans a day max but about 18months ago stopped, I have perhaps one a week max now if that. Bottle green elderflower is the trick for me with really cold water

or just ice cold water, ie tap water

I steer clear of bottled fizzy water, as the fizz releases microplastics which we will be drinking, so it must do in bottles of fizzy pop as well, but I see you drink cans.
I drink plain tap water, sometimes with cordial, around 1.5 lites a day but need to increase it. I also have a few coffees in the day.
I need to invest in a soda machine to create my own fizzy water as that's a good substitute with some coronal in it, instead of pop.

I drink loads but as I've got older am really fussy about water.

Has to be cold so I have a filtered jug.

Also much prefer it in a stainless steel bottle with an inbuilt straw on the lid so pretty much drink from a Sho bottle all the time. Works quite well for WFH.

Why?

It looks like you are getting plenty of hydration.

I can't believe how thirsty so many posters are.

I have to agree with this!
