Hi guys. A lot of my friends kept laughing at me because I bring a waterjug wherever I go. It carries around a liter of water. Usually I drink more than a liter per day. I know that this is quite healthy and it helps detox the body from toxins however my friends think that it is quite childish to bring a waterjug. I do not care what they think and I still bring one. I really need water. What is your take on this? happy mylotting.

Why would your friends laugh at you for having a waterjug that carries a liter of water? I don't think that is weird at all. I see some people carry hydration backpacks that carry at least that amount around the mall. I also see some people in the gym who bring their own gallon of water. Why should one person's habit become a spectacle for the public? Just because it is not part of the social norm? Is it childish to want to keep yourself hydrated? If you think about it, carrying around a liter of water is not that much an eye sore. I think your friends are just overly paranoid about such trivial matters such as your habit of carrying a one liter waterjug.

For those whom are laughing, they may not have the last laugh in their lifetime. They may come upon a time in their life they wished they had that liter of water handy. I hope not for their sake because who would want that, but they should not take advantage or laugh at such an essential need of our body, as water.

That's true there could be a possibility of contaminated water so when you have your own you know yours will not be.

Same here. I don't think it's weird. And besides,carrying your own waterjug is safer because you know that the water you are drinking is safe. We cannot guarantee that the water from places we go to is safe to drink.Also you can save money instead of buying bottled water. I, myself, carry my own water when I go out.

Never mind dear, there is nothing childish, usually i too carry water where ever i go, because if change the water my throat gets affected , and i don't like even the mineral water, so its a must. yes of course water removes all the toxins from our body, and we should keep drinking when ever possible as well, don't worry, one day those people will definitely say that, carrying water is good, happy mylotting dear

I like drinking water too and I like to bring water wherever I go also but not a litre, just a couple bottles figure that if I want more, I can just buy it at the store besides, I don't want to have to go to bathroom every 5 minutes if I do that.

1 liter is not much if you drink that a day. I wonder why you drag it around. You are not staying at places where you can have a drink or can take some water? Unless you live in the desert I think it's weird you drag it around with you also.

I bring a water jug with me since I think it is a waste if i purchase water from the school cafeteria or some place else. Water is not free and i think it is just an extra expense. i like bringing my own water to save money and I think it is very convenient. I drink about 1 liter when I am in school then another liter when i am at home.

Hi friend, good to hear about your activity, water is really good for our health, there is nothing wrong in keeping water with us, so don't care about your friends activities and always keep water with you. Water is essential to our life. It is really hard to imagine our life without water. In fact, it is impossible to live without water. It is one of the basic needs of a man. We must use it in a good way. Sadly some of us wasting it with or without our knowledge. Most of us forget to switch off the motor even after the water tank is filled due to our busy schedule, by this ways we are wasting water without our concern. After realizing it, we switch off the motor in a hurry manner. In villages water is available easily, but in metro cities, most of the people are in need to buy the water for money. In fact water cost is very much high in some places like Milk. So we must use it in a good manner and avoid wasting it. In our day to day life, we are wasting water with or without our concern. The people who is living in the deserts are struggling a lot for water. Even a drop wasted water is worth for lot of people. We must try our maximum to avoid wasting water and save water during the rainy days, it will help us in the summer days. Rain water harvesting is an important thing, each and every person must have a rain water tank in their house to save the precious rain water. I am not interested in wasting water. Always give importance to it and suggest my friends to avoid wasting even a drop of water. Water is really a precious gift to the man kind. We must use it in a good manner without wasting it.

When I go out, I also like to bring with me a bottle of water for I think that I might need to drink water in case of feeling thirsty. And I also bring another bottle for my little son as well. Drinking water every now and then is good to our health. When I am working in the office, I drink water even if I am not thirsty. I am used to it. Take care.

I do not see anything wrong with it. It is healthy to drink water than having to buy cola or juices when you re thirsty.

yes friend, let them laugh as they wish, hope they do not get diseases associated with low water consumption like some kidney stones, dehydration, heat stroke etc... I can't understand why they laugh at something natural and healthy.

It is right to do coz our skin needs enough water so as to maintain our daily work. I always tell my family to do so and also plus fruits, this definitely good for health. Thus people may decline the process of getting old. Less salty things does also works.

Water is really important. During the time that we had no water dispenser yet at the office, I also carry a small water jug with ice and a little water inside. That is what I drank for the whole day.

Bringing waterjug wherever you go is a good habit. Water is good for our body. And there are times that we are thirsty and no available water. So by bringing waterjug you can easily quench your thirst anytime and anywhere. I make it a point that my kids have their waterjugs everytime they go to school. My daughter who's turning 16 don't want to, but I oblige her.

good on you. You shouldn't care if they laugh or make fun of you. A lot of people do this, and you're right, drinking water is healthy and a lot of people don't drink a liter let alone the required 1.5 l per day. You're also speeding u your metabolism by drink water regularly which you are since you always have it at hand. I do this too, except I have a 0.75 l bottle and often fill it up twice a day.

i agree with you my friend...its very important and obviously a good habit to bring water with us...you just need and focus what is good for you without caring about others..do not need to think that what they think about you..just go and and do...

Actually, that's a wonderful idea! So many people think that drinking soda is ok, but they aren't really hydrating their bodies properly. Yes, it does help clear toxins from our bodies, but if you're eating a well-balanced diet, you really won't need quite a liter. I'm sorry your friends think it's childish, but just remind them that you're saving the Earth by not constantly purchasing water bottles all day long!

Hi savage cabbage! Well, personally, I also bring with me a bottle of water whenever I go. Especially during hot weather and if I am not so sure if I would have an access to safe drinking water on the place I am going to. Sometimes if I forgot to bring one I would just have to buy bottled water.

I tend to drink alot of water too. It's very important to stay hydrated. I don't bring a waterjug with me, but I do tend to keep at least one bottle of liquid whether it's juice or water in my purse. They especially come in handy for long trips. I just wish it would taste better. This probably seems like a childish thing to say but it's the truth. Sometime it gets boring drinking so much water per day when it has no taste. I've tried the flavored water but I just never tend to stick to it for some reason.
