Have you ever met someone who refuses to drink water? I once had a coworker who only drank Coca-Cola because she thought water was gross. Naturally, she had lots of cavities and she eventually got kidney stones too. Even after all that, she STILL refused to drink water.

I seriously don't understand how anyone could hate drinking water.

As the saying goes, you can bring a horse to water but you can't force it to drink.

If you're used to sweet carbonated drinks it can make water seem gross. Even if I just have seltzer, drinking normal water after doesn't seem as good although that doesn't last very long.

I've known people like that. They were fat, depressed, and I dissociated from them and people like that long ago.

Soda is almost entirely water itself and it's a myth you can get dehydrated by drinking lots of it.
If anything she got kidney stones because she didn't drink enough soda.

I know their feel. but now I pay 27 cents for a gallon of water that doesn't taste awful. most cities do the bare minimum, and throughout the year will pump sulfur through the pipes.

My mother will drink nothing but orange Crush. She is also, of course, overweight and wonders why she's so sluggish and depressed. I've tried to talk her into drinking water and tea, but each time, she refused. It saddens me how set in her ways she is.

I drank only soda except while playing sports until I was 18. Started drinking energy drinks as well from 16 to 24. Started drinking more water at 23. I'm turning 28 tomorow and just started drinking nothing but water and green tea about a year ago. About 4 liters of water and .5 to 1 liter of green tea a day.

I had a coworker who talked shit on me because all I drank was water and coffee. Meanwhile I watch this faggot eat an entire bag of tortilla chips on break, followed by some other shit. Then he'd stop at McDick's for nuggets a few hours later when we got off.

Acidic drinks, so anything carbonated are actually better than water for reducing the chance of kidney stones.
Water in some areas contains a lot of minerals like calcium carbonate which increase your chances of developing kidney stones since that's what they normally form from.

>doesnt taste like anything
>is cold but not pleasantly cold ie fridge-cold when you take it straight from the tap
>tastes like shit if you put it in the wrong container (i used to put water in used empty soda bottles then to the fridge, needless to say it tasted like shit due to all the plastic & remnants of soda leeching in the water)
>sodas & juices taste better
I used to be like that, nowadays i have a glass jug with water in my fridge at all times and i mostly drink water with some tea, coffee and carbonated water+jew concentrate every once in a while.

can't stand water, I'm addicted to carbonation, I'm one of those few people that kept on using the soda stream even after the novelty worn off because they actually enjoy carbonated water, I like the bitterness too

English mate and I don't watch television.
One of my friends has a chronic kidney stone disease.
We live in a hard water area which exasperates his problem.
The doctor gave him the advice I relayed in my post.
Also, do the fucking science, you can work it out yourself.
Limescale builds up in systems that run a lot of water and acids dissolve limescale.
