Do You Like Water To Drink

[emmie]

strangely perhaps but i don't, though i do a little bit when the weather gets a bit better.
The doctor has suggested due to some blood tests i could be dehydrated, which doesn;t make me feel good. I drink orange juice, coffee, should i be necking more water even though i don't like it much.

I can't stand plain water but I love diluting juice and can drink loads when I add this

No, fluid is fluid, which is what matters. Just increase your intake of whatever drinks you like.

[emmie]

forgive my plainness but i am peeing for England, so maybe they are right. I could take my tablets with more water i suppose.

[Buenchico]

I've probably drunk fewer than a dozen glasses of water in my entire life! I hate drinking the stuff. I need something to taste!

Apart from beetroot juice I don't drink juices, Emmie......I just love plain, cold water......and.....believe it or not.....I enjoy it as much as Guinness or red wine......☺

Hi Emmie,

You could always put in some cordial, like lime, blackcurrant, orange, or apple etc, to make the taste a little more appealing.
I really like the taste of lime in my water.
Much like yourself, I tend to drink more water in the hotter weather or if abroad...... Lucozade sport drinks are very good for hydration too.

I drink very little plain water, everyone is right just up your fluids - whatever they are.

[Jackdaw33]

If you are peeing for England you cannot be dehydrated.

[emmie]

gness, haven't had a drink of alcohol since Xmas, and when i did i blacked out, which wasn't good.

[emmie]

i just thought the more goes out, the less in, hence dehydration, so doesn't work like that....

[Sqad]

Jackdaw....my thoughts as well.
However she could be dehydrated due to her "peeing a lot" e.g diabetes.

[gness]

I have a relative, mid nineties, who could pass for sixty......barely a wrinkle....fit and healthy....lovely figure and a mind as sharp as a tack....

She never drinks anything......no fluids at all ever......??

[Jackdaw33]

I have it on good authority that Robinson's lemon barley water is particularly efficacious in this respect. Don't ask me why.

I can work all day without having a drink of any sort but I always have water with dinner/tea.

[emmie]

the doctor phoned me with results of blood tests, seems i am lacking folic acid as well. she said a lot more but i kind of zoned out after the dehydration comment. I have further blood tests to come, so will see what they say.

[emmie]

i have a large carton of orange juice so will drink more of that.
maybe get some barley water, but i honestly don't like plain water, and seems i'm not alone.

as it is said fish fornicate in water....

Mainly at lunch time for me and on dry days.....

[jennyjoan]

I hadn't realised you could drink water, well I never!
