i love water. i do drink more then 9 glasses a day. it was just my habit since i was a child. evertytime i eat a meal i used to drink water instead of soda. soda can make u acidic while water can help u urinated those insufficient chemicals in ur body.

Yeah, you have a good habit.Me too, I love water very much, as to Soda, I seldom or never drink it, such as Coca Cola or some other kinds of Sodas.Even I seldom drink the fruit juice sold in the super market. My only love is water. And also I usually have warm water, not cold water, even in hot summer. I think the cold food or water is not good for our health.

Great discussion. Water is by far my overall choice. I rarely ever drink soda. For reasons of the acidity and because it is hard on my teeth. Drinking water everyday not only helps one urinate so to easily pass insufficient chemicals but is a way to keep your skin clear and your body well hydrated. Plus it just feels good, to drink a nice tall glsss of water when we are thirsty. Like you, I love water too.

Hi gaylalou, I take aerated drinks like coca cola and soda only while having gathering or during any festive occasion. Of course soda is much tastier if compared to plain water. But water is much healthier and it helps us to get rid of the toxin of our body. Anyway we couldn’t live without water for it’s also the most essential necessary in our daily life that helping to promote the metabolism of our body. I take at least one and a half liter of water daily. I will take more than that after having physical exercise. I need more water to quench my thirst after soaking with sweat. The tap water supply in our place is regarded as a non ideal drinking water so we have to fit a set of water filter to get purified and healthy water. It’s more convenient as we can drink the water from the faucet directly and need not to take the trouble to boil it anymore. Happy posting and have a nice day.

Hi , I prefer to drink water rather than Soda. Soda does has its advantages in that it is good for stomach and aids digestion, it cannot replace water . Even after drinking lots of Soda , one needs water too for one's body . Regards -Sweety_81

I guess my preference depends on the time of day, actually. I do not like drinking soda first thing in the morning so I just have cold water and coffee. For lunch and dinner, I want to drink soda with my meals. And I do drink cold water in between. Except when we're having "sinigang" (that's a Filipino term for a sour stew of pork or fish) because I personally think that it doesn't goes well with soda. :)

I love water, hot or cold. I have a water filter in my fridge, so it is always handy for a glass of filtered and fresh water. I do buy sodas occasionally, but try not to have them very often. They are not good for the teeth, or the digestive system, or anything really, but I must confess that sometimes they do taste good. We really do need to drink more water since it is so good for flushing out the toxins in the system. :)

I honestly like soda more, but I know it's unhealthy for me. I try to drink as much water as I can whenever I go out to eat at places or when I'm home.
