This is just one silly question that pops-up in my mind as I reading some stuffs in the net. When there is a drought and water is scarce and limited, will drinking the prescribe 6-8 glasses of water a day will make you irresponsible?

I think it would be if you're hoarding all the water and your family members can't have any. I can go without drinking that much water in a day so I'll be alright. I think most of us would. So, as long as you're not causing inconvenience to someone else, well, I think it's alright. If you are, then it's not.

fulltank just think about it we are three fourths water and if we do not keep hydrated we could die. man can go for days with little or nothing to eat but if he does not have adequate water he could die. the 8 to 10 glasses my doctor says I must drink are really a must for me as a diabetic. if I do not get my 8 to 10 glasses a day, I get severe leg and foot cramps.those really really hurt too. so I do drink my alloted water and no its not iresponsible to do so. watering your lawn for hours is, and taking much too long showers is, and letting the faucet just run while you brush your teeth, those are all wasting water. drinking i to keeep hydrated is not wastingit. at all.

Hi there fulltank! I don't think that drinking 8 glasses of water is irresponsible. But if there is a drought....uhmmmm...haha.. it really depends on how severe the drought was. If it was like so alarming that everyone can't afford to have a glass of water then, drinking more than 6 was like irresponsible. Because, we always have to think of others, not just ourselves. But if it is not severe or the drought just happen in some areas and nearby cities can provide some help then, I think drinking more than 8 is not that bad. Because if we think about it, drinking less than the required daily glass of water may result to some health problem/issues. With that, people will avoid getting sick or making the situation more worse. Happy lotting!
