I am a water and green tea kind of girl. I rarely drink pop. I mostly order water at restaurants too. There is nothing like a glass of cold water when you ae thirsty. Where I live we have really good tap water, I just drink it out of the faucet.

I'm thankful that I live somewhere I can drink water from the tap, which I do every time I'm in the kitchen. I only buy bottle water when I'm in my vehicle and have forgotten to fill my water bottle. I think I feel more energized if I'm well hydrated.

I've taken to putting crystal light in my water and now I'm drinking LOADS more water than I ever have! I might even get nearly a gallon down me a day - and it used to be rare for me to drink more than a glass or two - and that as tea - still drink tea - right now hot instead of iced - but I am doing better

I am not a fan of water...I do drink it but I put some type of flavoring in it. The only time I can drink water straight is if I'm working out or if I am unbelievably thirsty. I love soda but I love milk the best. If I had to choose between water, milk and soda my answer is definitely milk.

I love to drink water. But unfortunately, we have to buy bottled water, as the water is not that clean anymore. Really a shame that you have to buy something like this. TATA.

When I am very thirsty on a hot and sultry day, I will aim for a cold glass of water. This quenches my thirst quicker and it is very refreshing too. I know that this is what I will grab instead of a soft drink all of the time...

I do not love to drink water but have recently switched from soft drinks to water as I am gaining weight and have also read about all the wonderful benefits water can do to our body and our system as a whole.

it is important to drink water specially during hot days to avoid from dehydrated. water helps clean up toxic inside our body so its better to drink water than any soda, though its alright to drink soda but make water the priority like 6 to 8 glasses of water a day specially to women to avoid UTI or urinary track infection coz UTI is very common to girls specially during pregnancy thats why doctor always advise to just drink pure water.

I love water too, every morning I wake up, I will drink a glass of water. It can help me fresh in the morning. I don't really like soda, it's not healthy for me. If I'm thirsty, I will grab some water of course

Of cource a glass of water !!What ever i eat or drink ,i do it according to its health benefits.I drink sodas and cold drinks occasionaly. I`ve seen maximum people who grab soda to quench the thirst but according to studies it is the worst time to drink soda because when you are thirsty your saliva level is low and the sugar contents disguises the acidity.It causes weight gain and obesity ,it increases the risk of diabetes it makes the bones weak ,it results in tooth decay and can cause cell damage.Its caffeine and sugar contents can cause restlessness ,excessive urination and increased heart beats. sodas a dehydrating diuretics and i think water or a glass of fresh fruit juice is a best alternative.

If I were younger I will surely drink soft drinks but now I think I'll drink the water rather than softdrinks because water is healthier than soft drinks,

I find that soda and other sweetened beverages do not quench my thirst. They leave me with a nasty after taste. I like water, cool and clear. I do not have to have ice in it. I like coffee and tea as well, but not sweetened. I do not buy soda for the house. I have it occasionally when we go out. My mom always thought that there was something wrong with me, because I drank water a lot, even as a kid, even before it became the suggested thing to do for our health. She would have been healthier, but she said she could not stand the taste of water. I like water, I like our local water. It has lots of magnesium and calcium. Bad hard water rings, but I bet it is good for the bones.

Me too. I drink a lot of water every day. Even when Ihave a cup of coffee, I have a glass of water with it. I know that coffee is a dieretic, so i will need liquid to replenish the liquid I lost from the coffee I drank before. I drink about 10 glasses of water every day.

I will grab for water than soda. We don't have soda at home always, water is readily available. I don't always drink soda since I avoid sugar intake of it. I do drink soda thrice a month only. Our body is need of fluids, but it is more advisable if it is comes from water or fruits with vitamin c. It is more advisable if water you will drink, and 6 to 8 glasses a day is better. Me, if I will total all the fluids I drink I can say I can be able to drink 5 glasses a day.

Water is something I really have to feel thirsty for, but at times will only drink water, normally though my drink is coffee or tea but not dcaffeinated as they are so much more expensive. In all especially through the winter months I much rather drink a hot drink.. Hugs LoLo
