i seldom drink water... i always drink cola or ice tea... coz for me it will add taste while eating... if i drink water, only if i feel hot and exhausted outside from the heat of the sun and if i feel that my lips are dry..

Hi homeshoppers, now the weather is so hot I probably drink about two litres of water a day which we need here to keep hydrated, any soft drinks are dehydrating and useless. I keep bottles of water in the freezer to take outside with me as they remain cold longer and add mint leaves to my water to make it more refreshing.

No - nothing like it at all. Just water with the fresh addition of mint, completely natural

I used to drink a lot of cola and tea, but now I have been able to shift into drinking only water, milk, unsweetened tea rarely, and cranberry juice. It was a bit hard at first, but I got used to it, and I have only had positive effects from it.

I try to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day but I'm not always successful. I put a little bit of lemon juice in it to give it some favor. Cola doesn't quench my thirst. It just makes me thirstier probably because of the sodium content

Hello, maybe 4 to 5 glasses of water daily.I don't drink carbonated liguids much, maybe 1 a month if even that.I drink iced tea during the afternoon and the evening. I don't like the iced tea with sugar, I like only with lemon.I have coffee in the morning and milk in the morning but not mixed.

I don't drink enough water either. I try, but like you I like to taste something in it. Lately I have been adding a squeeze of lime or putting sliced cucumbers in my water to make it taste better. Many days I only have one or two glasses a day and I forced myself to drink them!

I drink water all the time, I seldom drink cola. Cola eats away at my stomach lining, and drinking alot of water also helps me cuz I am a lead singer. :D
