can you live by water alone

Ok, you are talking about liquids. Alright, first I thought you were talking about living on water only. Yes, if it absolutely necessary then i may live on water alone. Although I drink milk, coffee etc but I was on water for one or two months when our family was in financial crisis!

Of course i can live with water only for short term if i can not have other drinks but have food, I prefer water over other sugarcoated drinks whenever possible. I will say it is impossible for me to live by water only for more than a week because i will miss my milk and coffee in the morning. Happy Mylotting!

[i]Hi se7, I am a coffee lover too and It will be hard for me to survive without it.. I was a coke addict before but tried to eliminate it in my system! LOL! So, I will say, I will still survive but will be tough for me to get to used forgetting my coffee every morning! LOL![/i]

I can. And actually I do! I cant drink cafinated products. I absulutly hate drinking milk. Tea and coffee are YUCKY! I drink only water water water! And you know what I rarely get water infections and I rarely get sick! Water is the best. I must admit that I do drink bottled water alot because my tap water tastes like rust! Its a bit expensive but not half as expencive as pop! I tried an energy drink once and wow was I ever hyper I never slept for 3 days I was go go go! Well the good thing came out of it was I got my house cleaned from top to bottom! My kids are the oposite they both will not drink any water. They only drink milk. And sometimes grape juice. But mostly milk! I go threw a 2l of milk a day with 2 kids! My dad is a pepsi freak! He drinks soo much pepsi he doesnt even go to the store without a bottle of pepsi with him. He goes threw a 2l bottle a day!

I think I can do that. Especially now that I'm trying to loose weight. Happy posting..

I can if i really wanted to and if there is no other option if other beverages and drinks are not available. If you challenge yourself to do one thing which is impossible to do since you are used of doing it, then my friend it is really discipline that counts. Anyway it will be also beneficial to your body if you only take water to drink. There is no such medical proof that taking only water will reduce your healthy lifestyle. And besides water is a natural source, since God made it, the rest of the drink, it is man made. If my husband would challenge me to take only water for one whole month, i can do it. He must be really happy because he will not spend on soft drinks or juices that we buy in the grocery heheh!

Same here, I am a cola person, geez can't count how much I consume in a day! Must be too much but I can't help it I am a cola addict, can't kick the habit. The only time I stopped drinking cola was when I was having my baby girl, doctor told me to stay away from the sweets as it was messing with my blood sugar level or something. It was really hard for me, but I did it for my baby. I guess I could live without it if was really necessary but life is so much sweeter with the sweets.

not really possible to live with water alone. you need some food and shelter and air. if only water is needed then who need other things out there. but one thing for sure, the basic need for life is water. even the small things of the earth needs water may be with water alone you can live for next 2 days but not always http://reachinformation.com/define/water.aspx - has more information about water

definitely, i can live by water alone but having soda, iced tea, juice or coffee can make life more better :) . water is kinda plain, but as long as it can quench my thirst, that will be enough if i had no other choice.

I think i can though i haven`t tried yet i can avoid all kinds of drink but for me tea is essential. My day starts with a tea and i do not feel fesh until and unless i don`t have a cup of tea. But your discussion has made me think twice that am i addicted to tea?....

It really depends on what you mean by that, haha.. If you mean physically, of course you will live, everyone can live with just water.. The problem is that without your usual substances, you will feel uncomfortable at the initial stage, but dont worry, human are highly adaptable creatures, you will get used to it in no time, haha.. Oh, by the way.. even heroin addicts can kick the habit.. no doubt you will be able to kick your drinking habits if you are willing to.. Cheers, Happy mylotting

oh no i could not life by water alone i think i will fine it so hard. i would have to if there was nothing to drink put that, but i think i would end up massing up some fruit to put in it lol

I am afraid i couldn't live only by the water.for my tast,only to drink ,it's so monotonous and boring.when i wake up in the moring ,i like drinking some milk and eat some bread; eating some cola in the lunch and drink some coffee after dinner in the evening.so i think can't only live with water. for the body,i am afraid only drinking some water not eat some other foods is bad for your health,your body coulnd't stand for long time. so we are lucky we have lots of drinking and many kinds of foods!

I think water is the most basic needs are now are a lot of dtinks to replace,but only water is to meet our basic needs.Of course,in this premise ,I like to drink green tea,in the absence of any other,I only drink I enjoy.

Of course I could with just water. Whenever I get in into my head to diet, I just drink water...lots of them. However, I do have cravings for coffee and I live and breath coffee. He he he! If given the choice, I won't take just water but if its out of necessity, then why not. I love water when its super cold.

Yes I did that once. I believe that we are able to do this because are body is really made up of 80 percent of water. Basically it is our basic means of survival. We probably won't survive if we just eat food and had no water to drink.

At first I was thinking no. But after I thought about it I realized that I could probably live with just water, especially if I could eat whatever I wanted. I drink coffee, but only if it's convenient. I don't go out of my way to make it or buy it. If I have to make a cup for my hubby, I'll also make one for myself, that is unless I have to get up early to make it for him, then I'll just go back to bed when I'm done. If its really hot outside and I happen to be getting donuts from Dunkin Donuts then I'll get an ice coffee, but I won't make a special trip just for the coffee. I don't really drink soda that much. If it's on sale I'll buy it but once it's gone, I'm back to water. I bought Crystal Light to put into water on occasion but it's so expensive I don't buy it often and I still have some from a purchase from about 6 months ago so I guess I don't use it that often. So my answer is yes. I would absolutely be able to live with just water.

I really really love to drink coffee and tea (and soda now and then) but I think I could drink ONLY water... it would have to be ICE water. I try to drink as much water as I can, but I can only drink a lot of it if is very cold. But ice is water too... so I guess that counts... lol. So yes, I think I could do it! XOXO

Nope. I know I can't. I hate water. It has no flavor. I always have to put those little flavor packets in my water or make tea. The only time I can handle plain water is when I am out in the heat and thirsty. I don't drink a lot of coke products as I prefer tea more than anything. If I had to survive on plain water only, I would have to force myself to drink it through a straw just so I wouldn't dehydrate. Lol

yes i can live with just water alone.i like iced tea and fruit juice.but if theres no iced tea or fruit juice,water is ok.i dont like cola.it can make me fat.
