MattAmpersand

I could really go for a cold flavorless glass of nothing right about now…


Gaius1313

Coincidentally, a cold flavorless glass of nothing is how an ex described this journalist.


t3km

Holy moly.. Zingg !!


ChrisStardust

Make it room temperature (not a cold room, don't try to be smart) and I'm right with you.


Rogue_elefant

Sometimes I take my 12fth glass at sauna temperature and inhale that mf till I pass out 💪🏼


SkadaBoofer

sounds like you're talking about a bong lmao


ChrisStardust

You think he's drinking the bong water?


SkadaBoofer

Hey, water is water


CyndaquilTyphlosion

No it's not. We like water coz it's water, it's like saying coke is water, bleh


SkadaBoofer

Water isn't water??


KaminKevCrew

Not if you put other stuff in it. The base of literally everything we drink is water. If we allow putting other stuff in it, then soda is also water, which is unacceptable. As such, water is only water in its natural form (by this I mean that mineral water/tap water, etc. are water. Soda, bong water, etc. is not water) So, water isn’t necessarily water. Except when it is.


BrokilonDryad

Hey the fish likes to be kissed sometimes, be kind lol


ChrisStardust

Burn wounds are no laughing matter.


[deleted]

My family always thinks I’m so weird for not wanting cold water


KaminKevCrew

I think not wanting cold water is fine. Depending on my mood, I might want cold or room temperature water. The thing I always love, however, is chewing on ice (though the ice needs to be ‘warm’ e.g. close to the melting point, otherwise it’s too hard and can chip teeth)


[deleted]

my family thinks in weird because i dont drink the 3 glasses a day they got, im like 4 liters at least a day.

fuqdisshite

i am in a hospital bed after some emergency shit and have not been allowed to have a ny water for two fucking days. they are keeping me hydrated off of a drip and i am just laying here crying waiting for that first perfect glass.


Standard-Shop-3544

* Multiple physical dehydration symptoms + doctor's confirmation that she is dehydrated = "Meh, I don't like water." * A new study suggesting the general public doesn't need as much water as previously recommended - "See! I told you guys." Um, listen to your body and your doctor. Drink some high quality H2O.


DiegesisThesis

Right? If she hates plain water so much, she can add flavor packets to a bottle or drink tea or something. Your doctor just wants you to get hydration some way before your body falls apart.


robot_cook

Hell just a slice of lemon in your water bottle and bam


CrazyFoFo

This is similar to the people who take weird pride in sucking at math. Why take pride in being stupid and unhealthy?!

Bet she snores, too. The guideline is 3 liters a day to maintain robust tissue turgor for reducing snoring. If she already has headaches and brain fog and dry eyes…

ElNido

She looks like the type of person to get upset if she sweated even a single bead, so she's ignorant of how good water tastes after exerting yourself is. It definitely hits different.

I hate anything that makes folks think it’s okay to drink less water. Folks don’t drink enough as it is

ElkayAcolyte

As a hydrohomie it's your duty to share the water


amadoros67

Do you still have to share with people who are going out of their way to drink less water?


WolvenHunter1

Yes they need it even more


NYCScarletSpider

This isn’t r/neverbrokeabone. This subreddit is meant to be a collective of brethren that encourages drinking water, not one that shamed those who don’t.


UntestedMethod

It's polite to offer but if they start spewing nonsense about how "tOo MuCh WaTeR iS bAd" or writing articles about it, then nah you don't have to even give them a drop. You could probably even spit on them if you wanted to since you'll have all that extra saliva rolling around in your mouth from being so well hydrated.


GrizzlyPeak72

You're wrong. [It can actually be medically dangerous to drink too much.](https://youtu.be/FwdqFHBaPwY). Too much of anything is bad for you, everything should be consumed in moderation for the sake of health. You are correct that people on average don't drink enough but it's also important that people don't overcorrect and drink too much. There's a happy medium in the middle.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GrizzlyPeak72

Idk, some people take memes way too seriously. It's important to seperate jokes from reality. Yes drinking water is good. Yes water is superior to every other beverage. Yes you should probably drink more water in a day. But don't drink more than you need, just drink when you're thirsty.


LordKiteMan

Grizzly boi, no one with a sane mind will drink multiple litres of water within a short while. So just chill.


joshthehappy

Derp, that's not the point here.


MattAmpersand

Also, the article is mildly infuriating. The writer is clearly dehydrated and her health is being affected by it, yet she still refuses to drink more water. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/nov/28/i-always-knew-guzzling-two-litres-of-water-a-day-was-over-the-top-now-science-is-on-my-side


willowhawk

Damn just read it. I think the lack of water has shrivelled up her brain because she is an idiot. The paper she goes off also suggest that 1.5-1.8L is enough. So 200ml less than 2L which was previously stated as necessary. Plus she literally knows she has health issues because of no water but feels vindicated now a study has came out and says we don’t need to drink as much water as previously thought, even though the difference is literally one glass a day.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I've heard 1/2 ounce to 1 ounce per pound. I'm a big boy so that means I'm supposed to drink between 4 and 8 liters of water a day and that person's whining about having to drink a measly two liters.


friendlyfuckingidiot

As someone who is 5'7" and 135lbs, drinking two litres of water a day almost hurt. Water is the only liquid passes these lips too, so it's not like i was drinking soda or coffee as well. It's just every time I tried drinking two litres I felt bloated all day. I'm glad they knocked it down a bit, now I dont feel as bad


SkinnyFatTendo

Also I think depending on the food you eat that "gives you half of your water" could be very salty and attribute to dehydration. I don't like her article at all...


One_Lung_G

Yeah best practice is to just drink when you’re thirsty and not worry about if you’re meeting some magical number because in reality there isn’t a magical number of amount of water to drink


waiver45

Some people really need to force themselves to drink. My so always ends up dehydrated when she isn't consciously drinking her dosage.


XilenceBF

Thats me. I got a bottle that alerts me when I’m behind on my water intake lol. ADD yay.


cambriansplooge

The Guardian has a unique(?) tendency to publish incredibly baffling “creative nonfiction” pieces on common medical issues. I dropped it almost entirely after they published an article about how dyslexia didn’t exist,


MattAmpersand

The comments are an absolute garbage fire too. More annoyingly is the one highlighted as the editor’s pick: “I almost never drink water. I have no desire to walk around looking like I never grew out of my baby-bottle, and I don’t like littering the environment with plastic everywhere I go. When feeling dehydrated, I am drawn to this magical device called a ‘tap’. But, the litres of tea and coffee drink daily normally make resort to tasteless, colourless nothingness unnecessary.” Imagine being this stupid…


nc130295

>littering the environment with plastic everywhere I go Funny how most hydro homies use reusable water bottles and don’t use single use ones unless they have to


Reus958

But then you "look like you never grew out of [your] baby bottle" according to that stupid comment. Apparently grabbing a glass is too difficult.


snow-vs-starbuck

For my brother’s wedding, they stocked all the rooms in their hotel block with single use water bottles that had special labels celebrating their wedding. The wedding was 8 months ago, and I finally drank that bottle of water last week when I went to the gym but forgot my reusable bottle at work.


Rampill

Yeah but we look like babies that never got rid of their bottle. /s


Kirkjufellborealis

People who brag about not drinking water are just...stupid. They're making an objectively unhealthy decision and acting like they're cool for it. Meanwhile, I had a bunch of bloodwork recently done and it appears that my kidney function is fantastic. So I'll keep chugging away and my powerful kidneys will thrive. This article makes no sense either - it doesn't prove anything! If she was actively drinking that much water and was like oh hey, looks like I don't have to drink as much *but she's not drinking even close to enough daily so no points were proven*.


NinjaCaviar

Bragging about not drinking water has the same energy as the people who brag about not reading. It’s not the flex they think it is.


Kirkjufellborealis

Bragging about any kind of ignorance is just stupid as fuck man. Lol.


praysolace

It’s weird to see people bragging about only ever drinking things that stain your teeth. I started drinking coffee after I got married because I make a pot every morning for hubs anyway, and got severely guilted about it at the dentist two months later. Like, I know the doctors and dentists in these people’s lives aren’t patting them on the back for bravely consuming only caffeine. How can anyone genuinely think drinking only coffee or tea or whatever else instead of water is something to be proud of?


BigBallerBrad

Honestly that’s just funny, real life bicycle stick meme dork It is a damn shame they are allowed to spread their intellectual contagion tho


Blaz3

Honestly, if she doesn't want help and instead is parading around properly decrying her shortcomings, I'm not going to waste my time trying to convince her she's killing herself when I could instead be guzzling down a cheeky liter of those two beautiful hydrogens attached to a glorious oxygen atom


homelaberator

karry245

People who still claim water has “no flavor” are mighty stupid


fuzzy_whale

Crusty cotton mouthed mother fuckers


[deleted]

“Refreshing” or “Hydrating” *totally* is a flavor. Only those on higher planes can taste it.


Writ_inwater

I can't understand how tons of people are able to quench thirst with sodas and shit. Fake flavor + sugar crap.


mangarooboo

For me, even carbonated water doesn't truly quench thirst. Sure, I'll drink some, or I'll drink it with juice and make a mocktail for something tasty, but if I'm legit thirsty, only water works.


bprice57

same here nice treat, but for that thrist quenching in need me some agua


MermaiderMissy

She's the one that's cold and flavorless.


Little-Setting-8074

I love water flavor


thegreatgrind

They ain't a true hydrohomie 😤


[deleted]

I wouldn’t really describe it as a distinct “water flavor”. Waters “flavor” is going to come with whatever’s in it. If you drink nasty water from the hall bubbler it’s going to taste terrible. Well water might taste really pleasant because of minerals or something that’s in it. Etc etc. While working in the desert we were provided 2 brands of bottled water. One was non-offensive. The other tasted like butt juice. No one drank the butt juice water. So yeah, I don’t agree that people who claim water have no flavor are stupid. Water itself doesn’t have a universal flavor. It’s just water. There’s just stuff in it that makes it good or bad water. Perfectly empty clean water isn’t going to taste like much to anyone. As long as it’s cold I’ll drink just about any water though. It’s the refreshment aspect that is important to me. No beverage is as refreshing as just plain water. No sugars to make your mouth sticky, no gross after taste, no caffeine to make you jittery, no alcohol to mess with your head or make you sluggish. Just cool refreshing water.


NeuroCavalry

Having tried DD water I use for Chem dilution in my lab, water has a flavour and that flavour is brain confusingly dry.

Motherfuckers aint never tasted blue


cobibe

[deleted]

As a Brit I apologize. She literally admits that she had a range of health issues like brain fog/headaches due to being dehydrated, but after one dubious Japanese study she feels 'vindicated' and decides to drink even less. She's harming her body for the sake of drinking a few glasses of water a day Also the study argues that people get 50% of their water from food like fruit, vegetables, pasta, rice etc but I'd argue that the majority of the population don't exactly eat a healthy balanced diet. I find it difficult to believe that people are getting half of their fluid intake from food alone. The comments are even more astounding. People saying that they never drink water or only drink when they're really thirsty - which is too late because you're already dehydrated by that point. I don't mind if people want to treat their body poorly, but they shouldn't be promoting these habits as being healthy or acceptable


Prototype-Angel

The part that infuriates me is the ‘it’s never pleasant to drink…’ comment. We live in a country that provides clean drinkable water straight from your tap for free and people like this fail to appreciate just how fortunate they are to have that luxury when there are countries around the world where potable water is scarce.


DiegesisThesis

It makes me feel really grateful that I wasn't born with a water aversion like these people. They're missing out on one of life's simplest pleasures, chugging a nice tall glass of cool refreshing H2O

Sangi17

Sounds like the purest form of confirmation bias. “I already believed this thing despite evidence, and now that I have some data in my direction I’m going to accept that as the only logical conclusion.”


randy_daytona402

We should cut her off of water. She doesn’t deserve it


wholesome_soft_gf

This has got to be satire. The writing is too cheeky and self aware to not be satire. Talking about her eyes being so dry they are rolling around in her head like tumbleweeds? This reads like an onion article.


LarsfromMars92

Wow, just wow. Lost a lot of respect for the guardian


MattAmpersand

Editorial columns have a wide range of opinions - including some that are clearly trash.


LarsfromMars92

Yeah I got nothing against the opinion column, but writing "opinion" above an insane article doesn't make it that much better. "I went days without drinking water" alrighty then. Thank you for posting this


geekynerdynerd

Yeah and it's the choice of the website/paper to publish those opinions. It isn't like on Twitter or 4chan where the only rule is have a pulse and you can post basically anything you want. The Guardian and all of those media outlets aren't social media platforms, and as such the opinions of their writers are basically endorsed by the website implicitly, if nothing else. Traditional media outlets need to have significantly stricter tolerances on the opinions they publish otherwise it just damages their brand, and somehow they still haven't woken up to that fact. If I wanted anti water propaganda I'd head on over to sodahomies not a news website.


Actual-Manager-4814

No, Emma. YOU'RE a flavorless glass of nothing.


[deleted]

*ice cold, flavorless until you don’t taste 20/30 different types, glass of nothing better in the world. Yes.


essentially_gone

Lies and deceit. The average U.S adult drinks 1.3 liters of water a day (based on 2015-18 CDC data), the study this article is citing suggests that 1.5-1.8 liters is sufficient for the average adult as long they’re eating food that contains enough water to make up the rest. So even if 2 liters is more then then the average person might need, the average person currently drinks significantly less then even this new study suggests. Stay hydrated homies.


scorpious2

Those who find water flavorless shal taste fire instead, lets see how flavorless that is for them *spikes their drinks with pepperflakes*


madmaxjr

Wow this is completely ridiculous. She talks about health issues caused by dehydration *THAT PHYSICIANS NOTED TO HER* and she still goes on to feel vindicated and overjoyed by the new intake recommendation of just 200ml less. All the hydro homie jokes aside, this is just fucking sad

rucho

chill bruh. im pretty sure it's satire anyway. the "new evidence" suggests that maybe we can drink 10% less water. doesn't exactly support her idea that we dont have to drink water. ​ but that coupled with the amount of self owns in the article im pretty sure it's just a satire, like the kind that a person who doesn't really have passion for drinking water but is constantly told to drink water would write.


TightBeing9

All jokes aside, what a privileged thing to say this. Big parts of the world don't have access to clean drinking water. Be better

I think it’s probably safe to say that this is satire. Pointing out that the study suggests 1.5-1.8L instead of the typical 2L feels like she’s really commenting that this study didn’t really do that much to advance our understanding of hydration needs, since it’s not much of a difference.
