Water, water everywhere

i find it a great way to get exercise, running to the bathroom all the time.

booze does that a lot too, among other things

why head to the restroom? kitchen sink is just fine. (to quote and old wise man).

Hypothesis: If ppl who don't drink drank then the world would be happier.

If people who didn't drink the world would be happier?

I presume you mean the world would be a better place if people didn't drink alcochol?

I would suggest that in general that's not really true. If people who become abusive/drive cars under the influence of alcohol or other nefarious activities ceased to drink alcohol, that might make those who suffer from the abuse/get injured because of drunk drivers and in other ways pay for the anti social behaviour of alcholics happier. Of course those who drink alcohol for social reasons and don't cause anyone else any harm would probably be less happy.

Not drinking tea/water isn't going to increase the happiness of humanity.

It's all about beer. My prior post was: Save water drink beer.

Ah, but beer is mostly water - so I am not sure what the savings would be :-)

Good point! Drink beer anyways!

Snopes says the 8 glasses a day recommendation is FALSE

Well, eight glasses of beer might be a little much...

The best part of beer is not water...

I think I even heard once that you can drink TOO much.

Which I probably do, geez. I probably do drink eight big glasses of water a day, plus eat a lot of foods that you add water to like oatmeal and grits, and lots of veggies that have bunches of water. And then my morning coffee, and then usually have a cuppa tea in the evening, sometimes a whole damn pot which is like four cups or something.

I've been thinking about trying to switch more to tea because of the health benefits, but I need to get the decaf kind. I get caf headaches and it's the caffeine that makes you go pee so much, I got that problem too, it's crazy

I think when I move back in with my mom and have a big fridge again I'm gonna just make big pitches of green tea to fridgerate. Seems like it'd be yummy cold, too. Maybe some honey in it. Mmms.

I drink almost 3-4 litre a day so usually almost a gallon. Sometimes I have a diet coke or OJ otherwise all I drink is water.

eta: I prefer it over everything
