"Water"

You're meant to drink like 6 glasses or water a day or something aren't you?

Well, it doesn't specify how big the glasses are, like, is it 6 pints or 6 shots or what? I need to know how much water I have to drink to remain thoroughly hydrated!

Also does the amount of water you drink depend on how tall/big you are? Like, would a 6'5 rugby player have to drink more than a 5'1 librarian?

Also do bigger people have bigger organs? Like, does a fat fellow have a bigger heart and lungs etc than a skinny little emo kid?


I've drank 2 litres of water today, hows that? and I didnt use a Britta filter like you homos, straight from the tap. Oh aye.

I prefer tap water. My mum reckons I drink too much and I'm unnaturally thirsty all the time. So she sent me for a blood test :o(

Anyways, Tap water is the niecest. I don't like bottled water.

Once, I laughed while drinking cider shandy and it came out of my nose.

True story.

Well, exactly, that's my point. There isn't anything in water to be scared of except the odd excess of oestrogen. But sometimes people really hate the taste of tap water (it does taste different if you're used to filtered or a certain type of mineral), but instead of buying expensive filters or mineral water, you can just stick it in the fridge. Works like a charm and keeps it nice and cold too.

Seeing as you couldn't possibly drink that much, I doubt it's possible.

Where I used to live, the water either tasted like chalk or like chlorine.
It was like a magical lottery on your tongue.

There isn't really much difference in taste between tap water and mineral water. I've had tap water that tasted vile and bitter, but I've had mineral water that tasted equally bad. I don't concern myself with any of the chemicals anyway, they wouldn't be there if they really were going to do you any harm.

Yeah, that's a god way to avoid having to pay through the nose for water. Buying it! Good one!

There aren't any chemicals that will harm you in water, otherwise they wouldn't put them in. Drinking tap water is not bad for you. The fridge thing is just if you don't like the taste of chlorine.

That sounds like the poor mans' way to get Mineral Water. The easiest thing would be to just buy it, minus the chemicals

Not all chemicals will seperate in the cold water, an some of the more harmful ones will not be destroyed completely, only reduced in effect

There's nothing like additives ... delicious immigrant workers' saliva ... mmm

Our water is from a spring, so if i drink mains, i can instantly taste the chemicals!
Water is also good for cleaning out your liver.

A guy at my old school drank 21 glasses of water, and it came out his nose.

True story.
