Do you guzzle or sip?

Are you a guzzler or a sipper when it comes to water? Does it make a difference? I usually sip on 2 16oz bottles of smart water at work and then guzzle by the glass full at home.

    I sip..guzzling my tea burns my throat. Since i don't drink water, i'm probably dead anyway, according to half these forums...

    Best response ever.


    I'd say it depends on how thirsty I am.

    I tend to guzzle. My kids get a kick out of how fast I can a 16 oz bottle of water!

    Haha!! I guzzle...the darn bottle sits by me all day, but I forget about it. When I do think about it, I end up guzzling at 1/3 to 1/2 the bottle. LOL

    I definitely don't sip my water. I try and get as much water as I can in during the day and that usually means guzzling it. Now, if I'm out somewhere (like waiting for my daughter while she's in dance class) I sip it.

    I TRY to sip from a 24-oz plastic tumbler of water I keep on my desk. . . but the reality is, most days get preoccupied and I forget. Then it's "oh, crap! I haven't drunk any water for the past 4 hours!" and so then I guzzle it. But I am pretty good about refilling it and doing that at least twice a day!

    I also guzzle before I eat a breakfast or dinner, or immediately after a workout because I find that "instant fullness" keeps me from overeating.

    I am in between a guzzler and a sipper. Actually no I am a guzzler because I usually forget I have water then remember so I drink it down real fast to make sure I get it all in. The only drawback is the faster I drink the more I have to pee :(

    I like to sip on mine all day but the last half of the glass always make me think " dang, i took me that long to drink that?" so then I guzzle the rest down and pour another so I can keep sipping :P

    guzzle... I'm particular about my water bottles too. Have to have a wide mouth. Sports bottles drive me bonkers.

    I use 24 oz bottles from Thermos, and go through 2-4 per day at work (I only work 5 hour shifts at that job.)

    Guzzle. If I sipped I'd never be able to finish my minimum goal for the day. :)

    I tend to guzzle just because I forget I am supposed to be drinking it then I want to make sure I finish the whole glass!

    I don't think it matters as long as you swallow your water.

    WOW, this turned into a hot topic! lol

    I was for the most part serious too! I am smart enough to know if you drink your water, that is all that matters. I find especially in the evening if I GUZZLE, it tends to keep away that evening hunger and need to snack before bed.

    I guzzle, no time for sipping that much water per day!

    I sip if it's icy water and guzzle if it's room temperature. I don't think it makes a difference how fast you drink, as long as you stay hydrated with fluids.

    All of your responses made me laugh. How I drink water varies. If I am really thirsty, I guzzle otherwise I 'drink' all day (not really sipping but not guzzling). 99.9% of what I drink is water and I LOVE water. I don't drink anything with calories in it at all. I generally just stick with water, occasionally having a sprite 0.

    I can not sip water. I guzzle it by the bottle or glass but if I try to sip it, forget it!
