To ask if you carry a bottle of water with you during hot weather?

[hellokittymania]

I should, and sometimes I do, but mostly I forget. I am the trying to find an ice coffee somewhere when I am desperate for something to drink.

Probably not the healthiest idea as I walk a lot.

Not always, but often. If I'm going out for the day I will. I pretty much only drink water and don't want to have to buy it while I'm out.

I carry a bottle and portable dog bowl for the dogs. I get quite thirsty watching them drink during a walk!!!

To the pp who wanted a recommendation - I really like this one. BPA free, no leaks. www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0060K1IIM/ref=mp_s_a_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1495718099&sr=8-12&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=thermos+bpa+free&tag=mumsnetforum-21

No only if I'm going somewhere where there won't be a cafe.
I like the idea of carrying a refillable bottle but I haven't found one I like drinking from and the water gets warm which is unpleasant.
I get a coffee and a glass of tap water pretty much everytime I go out.

I don't walk much but I always have a case of water in the car, and always a bottle on the go, often tap water refilled.

I buy 50 bottles for £2.70 from Costco, so doesn't break the bank.

Nope, I can last the 45 minutes on the bike. There is water where I come from and there is water where I am going to. If I am on a day out, I carry water.

Yep, a little one. I don't tend to get Hangry but if I'm thirsty it makes me horribly grumpy. Plus a lot of my meds give me a dry mouth and throat so makes sense.

I carry a bottle of water with me in all weathers!

You're a cycling camel! I go 80 minutes on the bike and get through between 1 and 1.5 750ml bottles. In winter I might use slightly less than one bottle.

Nope, never carry water with me.

I do after I got heat exhaustion in London of all places. I have traveled to far hotter locations, but I 'm always very careful to stay hydrated. It was only about 25 degrees but sunny and I was walking across the city because I thought the tube would be uncomfortably warm.

The trouble is one of the symptoms is confusion, I started feeling dizzy, and sick. I knew something wasn't right but the whole process finding a cashpoint and then buying a drink seemed almost too complicated to manage. It took about half an hour to manage it, by which time I was feeling pretty rough. I finally got the train home, but spent most of the three hour trip vomiting.

Not pleasant. So now I'm less blase about the heat in England.

You're a cycling camel! My dad always calls me a camel because he thinks I need to drink 10x more than I do.

I do because I get heatstroke very easily and I don't last long in heat without water.

I do like the PP that's saying that those of us that carry water with us are overweight, couch potatoes .

Do you not need lots of loo breaks if you drink on the go? Maybe I have a feeble bladder or something.

Always. Have done for years.

Nope. I'm not a big fan of water, as daft as that sounds, and I don't like carrying heavy items in my bag. I'm more likely to have big drinks less often rather than keep sipping on something.

It's funny how it's a yes/no question, but some answers manage to give off an air superiority for not carrying one.

Me neither, it's for fish to swim in. Wine is much more fun. Frowned upon on the school run though.

Yes, I always have a bottle on the go, no matter what the weather. I always have one for ds as well.

Not a big fan of water

?? What do you drink?

Anyone recommend a good water bottle that's not too big and doesn't make the water taste yucky? I thought maybe Aladdin as posted upthread.

It is even possible to last HOURS without a drink without dying if you have to.

Of course it is, but having a drink of water with you on a hot day is going to make you feel more comfortable at least and stop you getting heatstroke at best. Why be a martyr?

I'd love to see more drinking fountains out and about to refill resuable bottles. I stopped in a service station on a motorway at the weekend and wanted to refill my bottle but there was no fountain and the only water in the ladies was hot, so I had a buy another bottle from WH Smith...which is of course why they do it but it doesn't do much for reducing waste!

?? What do you drink?

Tea, coffee, squash, wine, beer, pop, milk...

All the things that aren't plain water, although I do sometimes have a glass of water alongside another drink if I'm particularly thirsty or i'll have a glass of water with a meal when I want something flavourless.

I do know that all of the drinks I've listed contain water before you state the bleeding obvious.

Yes I do. All year around. I do drink a lot of water to be fair. I am currently pregnant, so very essential in this heat, but I never feel like I bring enough out with me.
