My grandmother is 84, she says water is for taking a bath. She likes soda. My dad likes coffee he is 66, He says water is for fishing. I drink tap water and bottle water, I grew up drinking tap water mostly because my mom would lock us out the house and we drink from the water hose, But when I grew up I thought wow I can afford soda, after years of drinking soda, I'm proud to say I am starting to drink water again, I haven't had a soda for 3 weeks, I do feel my stomach went down ,lol.
I'm sure I will drink soda again I really want to help my system out by drinking water. I just feel like I am doing something good for my body. What about you do you like water? Ofcourse I still by soda for my husband and my girls sneak it when ever they can.

I too have begun drinking more water. I have always said that I hate drinking water. I used to drink coffee all day and soda all evening. Now I allow myself 1-2 cups of coffee in the morning, water all day, then if I feel I really want it, one soda after dinner.

Good for you, Proud of you. I have my 32 oz. english toffee capuccinno every morning for the last 8 yrs. That I can't see given up. Yummy. But the rest of the day water, now if I go to a restaurant I'll drink tea which I also grew up on because my mom had to many kids to feed and tea was cheap.

I drink only mineral water, sometimes drink coke for example when I eat pizza or there is some parties. I believe that the best thing is drinking water!

At least 2 little a day, just plain water. I divide into breakfast (1 glass = 500ml); lunch (1 glass = 500ml); afternoon (1 glass = 500ml) and dinner (1 glass = 500ml), so total is about 2little a day. It's very good to drink more water, so I'm not easy feel hungry all the time, so no scared of gain weight!

I dont drink a whole lot of water, but i do drink it once in a while, or when i'm at my friends house. The water in my apartment doesn't taste so nice. I actually have a discssion about this, The water in the shower tastes better then teh water in the kitchen for some reason.
Water is MUCH better for you then pop for sure!! I drink a lot of milk.

Absolutely. I love to drink water especially ice cold. I also drink Coke, C2 tea, and coffee every now and then.
By the way, why did your mom lock you out of the house? Isn't that child abuse?

Hi American Woman, Water is much better than soda, in fact soda is not good at all. I like to drink water and also some juices. I also drink tea and sometimes coffee. Boil water in the morning and pour about a half cup, let it cool enough so that you can drink it. This should be the first thing that you take in the morning. I have been doing this for many years and find that it helps keep me healthy. Blessings.

Haha, my great grandma used to be the same like your grandmother .. Always drinking pop (soda) and Coke especially. But she actually lived to be 99 surprisingly hehe. Yeah my family is big on Coke .. Myself, my brother, my dad .. My mom drinks DIET Coke etc.
But to respond to your question ;) Yes I drink water but NOT enough! The tap water in my city is disgusting!! They put wayy too much chlorine in it because the water pipes are ancient. Most, I drink water if my throat is sore or if Im playing sports

I drink water all the time, I participate in a lot of sports and I can't stand energy drinks. So I only drink water. "Water is for taking a bath", that's a funny quote.

I drink water if there isnt anything else to drink. About 0.5l every day
I dont understand why ppl buy bottle water. The tab water is fine... Whats the difference?
Well i dont know how it tastes somewhere else but in Finland the tab water is good
