Water

[tiggerblue10]

It is often reported that you should drink 6 - 8 glasses of water a day, but I can't drink that much. I love water but at the most I can only drink around 3 - 4 glasses. Is there anyone on AB who does drink 6 - 8 per day?

I think the only time I have ever drunk more than 4 glasses is when it has been really hot or if I've had salty food.

Yes, I have been checked for diabetes, and I do not have it. I am a member of the NBS blood platelet donation panel, and have been for many years. They do many checks, and would NOT accept donations from diabetics. Only one in five blood donors passes these vigourous blood tests. Thanks for your concern though!

That's good news jb - perhaps you are just a thirsty person, then! Do you wee a lot too (pardon my asking) - if so, that's good, some in, some out.

Johnny Boy, that sounds good about you donating platelets. Well done. How do they do it? Do you give a pint of blood?
