Do You Like Water To Drink

[emmie]

strangely perhaps but i don't, though i do a little bit when the weather gets a bit better.
The doctor has suggested due to some blood tests i could be dehydrated, which doesn;t make me feel good. I drink orange juice, coffee, should i be necking more water even though i don't like it much.

no wonder John Crapper invented the toilet, he was on a run at the time....

I like tap water but it has to be cold. I just fill my little, bought, water bottles and leave them in the fridge.

I'm never more than half an hour away from a drink, usually tap water (West Yorkshire) in a bottle I keep with me when out and about doing casual stuff like shopping.

I'm always at the water tap! Always drank loads of water even as a child. Hardly touch fizzy drinks in cans and never been a coke drinker.

baz

i didn't know how to phrase it...

[Chipchopper]

Yes I do.
I like to keep some next to the bedside table in case I wake up thirsty.
The sweetest dreams come from the sparkling kind.

The best tasting water is from a spring well in Ireland....scooped up in one of your plimsolls.........☺

I can still not understand the modern fascination with bottled water!
Why the hell pay up to £1.50 for a small bottle when it comes out of the top free ? ( or almost free)
I was running a Rugby club bar when bottled water started to become popular. A sales rep turned up and tried to get me to stock bottled water! I refused even when he offered me a case of it free as a trial.
He was quite upset when I would not even accept his free offer. I told him it would be a waste of bar space!

I can not stomach water, I once had to have an ultrasound early in the morning with only water (pints of it) I threw up every time I drank it, eventually the lady in ultrasound suite sent me back to the ward to be put on drip, the nurse said under her breath "I bet she could neck a few pints of beer if we asked her" I demanded the drip be removed and signed myself out of the hospital, snidey cow now socialises in my circle of friends, I don't half remind her of her comments. I'm not a lover of alcoholic drinks, I think that's why I was so hurt at her comment.

Oh I'm with you there, Eddie......I've yet to taste a nice bottled water.....it's dead and flat......

In my teens and early twenties the landlords of pubs would be sniffy when I ordered a glass of water....sometimes even refusing....now they sell it!.....☺

gness did you ever seethe Late Late show back in early 80's when Gay Byrne interviewed a guy who said he was going to bottle water and sell it, people thought it was a joke, the place was in uproar of laughter, he was going to sell it as Ballygowan, boy, did he do well :)

[gness]

I do remember that, Ducksie.....nobody's laughing at him now!....x

I prefer sparkling water...I can drink quite a bit of that. The tap water here can taste odd sometimes so I don't have it as my first choice. I need to add a bit of flavouring to it to make it tolerable.

[ducksie]

exactly my thinking gness, I only sip it now to get pills down pasta, sometimes I'd put cordial of sorts into it

[RobNorth]

Bottled water is but a fashion statement, like those huge coffees that "right on" people walk the streets with - I think it's now been decreed by the fashion police that you must turn up at work carrying one....if these things were 10p a throw nobody would bother.
Nb. In the 1970's the platform shoe produced in men a wierd bent-knee gait that was known as the dancing pig walk. The bent elbow tiptoe seen with the coffee carriers reminds of this.....

[pastafreak]

I drink sparkling water because I *like* it, not because it comes in a bottle. I don't care about brands...I just want my thirst quenched.

[Caran]

I drink at least 4 half litre bottles of mineral water a day. Can't abide tap water, tastes awful. Don't really like sparkling water, has to be still. Have numerous bottles in the car and always one in the bedroom.

[EDDIE51]

Bottled water always makes me think of the 'Only Fools and Horses' episode where Dell is bottling tap water in his kitchen and calling it 'Pimlico Spring'

[Baldric]

Or Peckham Spring!

[ducksie]

We called ours 'corporation pop'
