hi insulin my doctor has repremanded me for not drinking enough water as I am on lasix and its a diuretic so have to drink more water to keep from dehydrating.Its easier for me in warm weather as I do get thirsty fur when its cold I have to force myself to keep hydrated. it is a must a nd gently and firmly tellyour boyfriend that you are only thinking of his welfare. of course soft drinks do have water and that will help but he should at least try to drink a glassful of water every time he eats and at bedtime,he will get sick if he does not do this.

Thats what I keep telling him as his tummy is aching and sometimes he do have head aches.His actually not really listening to me when it comes to this kind of situation and I cant force him since he will act like deaf.If he get sicks,he immediately get near me and telling me his sick and I will not talk anymore since he knows that its his fault.

I know I don't drink as much water as I should. But I do drink when I feel like it. My husband is a water guzzler. He will probably drink around a gallon a day. I don't know how he does it as I would probably be running to the bathroom every five minutes!

After going for directions like loosing weight, and seeing how many bad things are in my common foods, I started to just Love water. There's something so refreshing and magical about gulping down a big glass of water. I probably have about 6 or so cups of it a day, and when I go without it for too long, I just start feeling crappy. You gotta get him to have more water!

I drink a lot of water. If it is really cold, I like it a lot! I am the opposite of your fiance. The only time I do drink softdrinks is when I am sick. Then I drink ginger ale. Aside from all the other problems softdrinks can cause, some of them are very high in sugar content and water helps with constipation. I am always watching my calories, so I figure why drink them when you don't have to. Also the doctor has told me to stay away from caffine, and a lot of them are caffinated.

i used to be like that before, but then i got sick ( UTI ) so now, i am drinking lots and lots of water because i really need to. I dont ever want to experience fever with chills OMG thats so traumatic. I think you have to tell your boyfriend that you really care for him and you dont want him to get sick. happy mylotting!

You can put the water in front of him, but you can't make him drink.I am with you, water is my main source of drink throughout the day. I don' like or trust the sodas because of all the cancerous chemicals (artificial sweeteners) in them. When I am busy running around taking care of business and I don't take time to drink water, my body reminds me that I need to drink some water. My skin feels dry and my thinking is not clear as when I am hydrated (having sufficient moisture). I do know people who do not drink just pure water, but get it in other sources such as sports drinks like Gatorade; I guess that is okay, but I like good ole water.

Water is very important to our health, for without it we cannot survive. When I was still younger I don't really drink much water though I know that it's necessary to our body. I prefer to drink softdrinks and juices instead. Now that I'm already in my early forties I see the importance of drinking atleast 8 glasses of water everyday because of some health issues. It's really effective and it helps in detoxifying our body.Just encourage your fiancee to drink water instead of softdrinks.

Of course I do. Water is very essential. We need some glasses of water. Without drinking water, don't know what will happen. man can live without eating, but not without drinking. I'm a hard coffee drinker, but I also drink water. I realize how important water is.

We need to take water everyday as it helps flush out toxins in our body. My worry with your partner is that he may not feel it today but when he gets older, that would be the time that he may feel that. He should get used to have water intake everyday.

I try to limit myself to one soda per day, but there are days that I go over my limit. I agree with you, water is essential and we do need to drink it daily.

water can clean our body inside, so I have a glass of honey water every morning to flush my intestine and stomach. I usually have 4-5 glasses of water, I seldom drink softdrinks like cola, it mamkes me gain weight and ruin my teeth. so you should convince your fiancee to change his habit.

I consider water as the most essential thing for my health. If i don't drink water in a day, I think I'll get dehydrated and will suffer from UTI. Our kidney has to be cleansed by water and other beverages would just destroy it, well except for some cleansing teas. But in my case i couldn't skip a day without water intake.
