So out of everyone I know in my life..only about 5 love water. The rest prefer soda or tea over water.. I don't get it! I absolutely love water. If you ask me what I want I'll either choose tea, water or orange juice. Orange juice for breakfast or tea when I'm on my way home from school because I have water at my house. At home I mostly drink water though because it's so pure and healthy and it honestly quenches my thirst.
So the question is.. Is water always your first choice? Why?

When it comes to drinks, Water is my first choice! I rarely drinks softdrinks or juices. I only drink my coffee/tea during breakfast but only one cup, and then again my favorite, water. Other drinks only aggravate my thirst, and only water can quench it!

Water is not always my first choice. I am young, so soda and energy drinks pretty much rules when Im gaming. Though I choose water when I'm thirsty in regular situations. It happens that I drink tea, but thats very rare. It is like maybe 3-4 times each 4 months. Haha. Have a nice day :)

I admit that water isn't my first choice of drink at times, if I want something with some flavor to it. However, when I do grab a drink of water, I drink a lot of it. Usually, I buy a gallon jug and chug out of it. I usually go through two of these a day. I could probably push three if I wanted, but I have to add something to it so I won't flush everything out of my body. This is my bottled water. Regular bottled water is too expensive, and I am a big guy, so I have a monster thirst, a typical bottled water, I can drink in two or three swigs. Sometimes, I drink tap water, but in my apartment, it wasn't really possible because the water tastes so bad, that filters had to be changed frequently. This is how I roll with a gallon jug and drink out of that.

Yes water is my first choice and I read in many books and in articles water is good to prevent any disease. At least daily you should drink 8 glass of water. But morning time I take milk as breakfast.

That's a very good decision! It's okay to drink sweet stuff once in a while though don't you think? I mean I really love water but sometimes I just eat a certain food that makes me want soda.. or tea.. Haha idk what it is but I definitely drink other stuff sometimes or when I don't have a choice.

Right now, I'm trying to lose weight, so I don't drink juice or soda unless it is low in calories; I would have to say water is my first choice. All I might drink in a day is 8-16 oz of tea, maybe some coffee with a sugar substitute, 3-4 oz of almond milk if I'm having cereal, & water any other time I'd drink something.
When I wasn't losing weight, (& after I'm finished), I'd say juice or soda was (& will be) my first choice. I love water before, during & after exercising, & when I'm eating something sweet, like a cookie or cake. Almost any other time, though, I'd rather have juice or soda.
I enjoy the taste of juice & soda more than water. Water isn't as pleasant to drink all the time since it's so plain, & especially if I'm eating something salty or savory, because then, it has an unpleasant taste. With sweet things, though, water just tastes better, while sweet drinks sometimes tastes unpleasant with sweet food.
If water, & flavors were colors, I think water & salty food would clash, but sweet food would go perfectly with it

When I am at home, I usually drink water. When I go out to restaurants, I do drink the complementary water, but I also order ice tea. To keep myself hydrated, water and ice tea are my top choices. I tend to stay away from soda and energy drinks for health reasons.

Yes water is my first choice. Why? It's cheaper and more healthy especially than soda, yikes, soda is just bad for your health! Tea is good for health too but don't overdrink it, the one more healthy for your kidney especially is just water.
Just water is what your body most vital needs, after oxygen. People can survive for 3 weeks without food but just 3 days without water, that shows you how important water is. And it will be the best to have just water not soda or some other of flavored water. Don't ruin your kidney with some of those kinds of flavored water or soda because once you ruin your kidney you can never gain it back except you have a transplantion.
I also can't understand why there are people prefer soda or tea over water...
