My friend Chris doesn't like to drink water! Water is so good for you in so many ways! He should be drinking it but instead he drinks soda,energy drinks and ice tea! Right now he drinks ice tea the most! All those things he drinks have calories and he just stop smoking so this is not helping his waistline either! Do you know someone who dislikes drinking water?

Your friend doesn't like to drink water, because water is tasteless. He is used to the delicious taste of those carbonated drinks and iced teas, but he should be aware of its complications to health.
He will know the value of drinking plain water, once he feels the bad effect of iced teas and carbonated drinks in his body.

My freind Chris did used to drink way to much energy drinks not long ago! It did mess with his blood pressure! He had high blood pressure and the doctor told him to stop drinking them! He did get over that addiction but now he is a non smoker he is back to drinking a least one a day! He never learns and I am sure something else will effect his health in the long run!

He will not learn his lesson until it will finally catch him, off guard.

Yes! Me. I have never drank plain water and never will. I drink soda only. As for weight gain , I have lost weight. See I'm lucky , I get plenty of exercise at work. I never smoked.If I had a dollar for all the things they say I Should eat or drink but rather fast than have , I would be rich!

I always have some gum after eating so I don't get heartburn.

I used to drink alot of soda but not long ago the more I drank the more heartburn I got! So now I usually drink soda once or twice a week. My sister drank so much Diet Mountain Dew,she was addicted to it,she wore off the enamel off the back of her front teeth! She has cut back but she rarely drinks just water! I hope she doesn't end up with osteoporosis!

I know a few people like this. I'll be honest, I'm not the biggest water drinker myself but I do acknowledge it's benefits and drink a couple of glasses a day. Plus when ill, sometimes the water is the only thing that can be kept down and drinking plenty of it will allow you to remain a bit more healthier. Still there are just many times where water has benefits and I have been drinking a bit more as of late than I have.

I have been trying to drink alot of water. If I don't I end of with diaherra. In the summer I get sick to the stomach and light headed if I don't drink enough water! It doesn't help I work in a poorly vented kitchen! So I know how important drinking water is!

I use to hate drinking water also. I use to only drink it when there's no juice around or when I am really thirty and that's the first thing that I can get. Water is really good for you. I have a tumbler that can contain 700 ml and I refill it twice a day. Just let him be I guess. he will eventually knows he is better off with it.

I hope my friend will realize water is so much better to him then his other drinks! Right now he doesn't and thinks he is getting enough water from his soda,energy drinks and ice tea! I have a tumbler I fill with water,too,to at work. At home I uasully have a tumbler or glass with water always around.

Drinking water is helps to clean digestive system and also to control the waterborne diseases. It's very important! We should drink 10-12 glasses of water per day. As you said, it's really good for everyone in many ways. It also helps to clear the skin(clear pimples and all). Force him to drink at least 5 glasses in a day. At least after meals. Lack of water in body makes the skin shrink.

I and others have tried to convince him to drink water! He won't! He keeps saying he is getting plently of water from his ice tea,soda and energy drinks! He is stubborn and probaly will pay for this somewhere down the line!

Well all drinks have water in them but water is the best to clean out and hydrate the body. Many people don't drink water. It's because they just don't think it's cool or something. Everything has to have a color or a flavor to it now a days.

Yes it seems alot of people need a colored or flavored water,if they drink water! I can't stand those type of drinks! Plain water is the best! In summer,when it gets really hot,especially at work,I do drink Gatorade here and there. I am surprised my friend has not had problems with hydration! Maybe he will someday! We will see!

Hello blue65packer,
I personally don't know anyone who don't like drinking water yes there are few who drink less water.
Drinking water is necessary as it keeps all toxicity in our body to neutral and help organs to eliminate waste from our body.
Though your friend is getting fluid through energy drinks and ice tea but these are not good if every time you drink them when your are thirsty.

I know water is so good forever one! I have learned to aviod diarrhea I drink plenty of water! I also learned in the summer,at a hot work place,I have to drink alot of water or I feel sick to the stomach and get light headed. Gatorde is the only other drink I drink in summer. My friend keeps saying he is getting his water in the soda,ice tea and energy drinks! He is so wrong and I would not be surprised if he ends up sick becasue of this!

I have watched programs on TV about a man, who does not drink water either. He only drinks coffee everyday. At the end of the show, opinions o doctors were asked about the condition of the man and the hazards that can cause him. According to the doctors, it is extremely dangerous for him and can lead to complications.

I have know people who drink alot of coffee but not like this guy! Yikes! That could lead to problems for sure! My sister has done that with Diet Mountain Dew! The soda removed enamel from the back of some of her teeth! She also never realized drinking so much soda could cause calcium not to absorbed by the body! Now she does take a calcuim supplement and has cut back on the soda. I wouldn't be surprised if she develops osteoporis.

Everyone is different, not all of Us need the same amount of water , he is drinking liquids which is ok for the body even with sugar . You can try to drink water infront of him and share some if You want him to have some and learn to drink it, or, tell him to eat something sweet and drink some little water after , maybe little by little he will like the water .

Yes, infact myself I don't like drinking water but unlike your friend who doesn't, I usually just try and drink only because I know the importance of water. I also don't like soft drinks and I drink them occasionally like one in one or two weeks. I prefer juices.

Water is so importmant to all of us and I try to drink enough a day. If I don't I get diarrhea. In the summer,when it is hot,if I don't I get light headed and get an upset stomach. I am surprised my freind doesn't get sick drinking all the ice tea,soda and energy drinks! I only drink soda maybe once or twice a week. I used to drink alot but I astarted getting heartburn so I stopped that!

my children absolutely HATE drinking water. They'd rather juice (which has lots of sugar usually), Kool-Aid, tea or sodas (which i wont give them). We just recently started buying a bottle of stuff to squirt in the water to flavor it and its been great. The boys LOVE it and will not drink water continuously all day long. Needless to say I make sure I have it stocked up now!

That ia great you found a way to get your children to drink water! I don't think I and others could get Chris,my friend,to drink water this way! I know it would be much better then the other stuff he drinks! I never have suggested it but I am sure some of the other woman,at work, who drink flavored water have. I found out he likes his ice tea really sweet so he adds suger to it! Not good for the teeth and the waist line!

I only drink soda once or twice a week. My sister drank so much diet mountain dew she wore off the enamal on the back of her front teeth! She has cut back but I can't remember her the last time I saw her drink water! before the Dew it was Diet coke! I have no idea how that all began but it has not been good for her!

Most of human bodies contain water. water has a great value for our bodies, help organs for probably work and get red of undesired material and wastes. also and not all, water protect our skin and maintain it as soft as we like.

You are correct in all you said of water! I know if I don't drink enough water I will get diahrea. I always tried to drink enough water! Were I work I and the others,except for you kow how in the discussion, drink alot of water or we get sick from the heat of the kitchen during the summer! I'm suprised Chris,my friend doesn't get sick from lack of drinking water!

my wife before is not a water drinker too. she mostly drink juices, coffee, tea and energy drink. she drinks water but not that often. so she frequently has urinary track infection. then there was also a time that she needs to have injections for the infection. the doctor told her that if she will not drink water atleast 8 times a day soon her kidney will be damaged. and soon it might lead to dialysis or even cancer of the kidney. so far she has been obedient. she drinks more water now. prevention is better than cure.

my boyfriend is like that too. he loves to drink iced tea and sodas. i get so mad at him because whenever listens especially that his dad is diabetic and also he is a little overweight. i would be so stressed early in the morning seeing him drink that already during breakfast. he never listens
he drinks water too but he loves all these drinks. he just needs to be reminded always.
