Thats quite dumb really, water has tons of benefits that all these other drinks don't.Drink whatever you want. Don't like plain water? Diet soda, non-diet soda, Crystal Lite, coffee, tea, juice, milk, sports drinks, beer... All hydrate you just about as effectively as water, the only downside is that some of them have calories you would have to account for. Hydration is all about FLUID, not about water.
WTF??
Name one. If there's "tons," it should be easy to name just one of them, right?
LOLOLOLOL
& other liquids don't do the same thing? Remember - your original statement was that water has benefits that OTHER DRINKS DON'T0 -
Name one benefit water has over ANY other beverage.
Let's see....
Oh I know! 0 calories! Oh, wait... Diet drinks also have zero calories...
Minerals? Other drinks have those, too...
Lack of chemicals? Hardly, all drinking water is treated with chlorine and other chemicals to kill pathogens
Yeah, can't say I can name one actual benefit to water that isn't shared by any other beverage, because there aren't any.0 -
Well you clearly thought wrong didnt you. Now why don't you two go find a room seen as you've both got your heads so far up each others...
Ok so your saying a whole load of stuff that i havnt even said. You seem pretty determined to carry on this pointless argument, well im not retaliating so please just give up trying to say that i said this, that and the other when i quite clearly havnt.Fizzy drinks and beer are water with stuff added. If you said "fizzy drinks and beer don't hydrate you," you have said "adding something to water negates the positive effects of water." How do you think they make "fizzy drinks?" I'll tell you. They take water, and they add stuff to it. Are you now claiming that who adds the stuff matters? If I add it at home it's not harmful, but if say, Pepsico adds it, it is?
I'm sorry. Which thing didn't you say? I said you said "fizzy drinks and beer don't hydrate you as well as water." That's ALL I said you said. You denied saying that water with stuff added didn't hydrate as well as water. I replied that fizzy drinks and beer ARE water with stuff added. That's all they are. It doesn't matter who put the "stuff" in there--me, you, or Pepsico.
Psst - the thing she didn't say? Anything that makes logical sense, obviously
LOL
I didn't accuse her of saying anything logical. I'm a little confused that she seems to think I accused her of saying more than one thing. I only thought she said "fizzy drinks and beer don't hydrate you as well as water" but claimed she did not say that water with "stuff added" doesn't hydrate you. I was simply pointing out that fizzy drinks and beer are water with stuff added so she did say water with stuff added doesn't hydrate you.0 -
Even though this thread looks to be entertaining based on the last page of comments, I do not have time to read it all! I just want to say that I LOVE water. I love it when it is ice ice cold. I love the way drinking it makes me feel (other than having to pee every 15 minutes!). I used to hate water, drank a ton of pop. Now I prefer a tall glass of ice water anyday!0

I don't know why you keep quoting the same line i said, pretty sad actualy. And at what point did i say that adding things to water takes away the benefits?!? I said that water has tons of benefits that other drinks don't, duhhh! So if i was to drink a big glass of water and then a big glass of full fat coke, im sure it doesnt take a rocket scientist to tell me which is going to be a lot better for me.

How do 'these other drinks' not have the same benefits as water if they're just water with stuff added to them? You are saying that by adding something to water, it takes away the benefits.
You are saying that other drinks don't have the same benefits as water
Because other drinks are just water with things added, that means you are saying that adding those things takes away the benefits
Or in other words, you don't have a clue what you're saying. Just like how you said you were going to leave this thread 20+ comments ago.0 -

One thing the other stuff doesn't do. In point of fact, anything with caffeine will suppress appetite MORE than plain water since caffeine is an appetite suppressant. This thread is about things you can drink other than water to hydrate you. Water isn't better than other beverages at appetite supression. You said water had many advantages the other beverages do not. NAME ONE ADVANTAGE OF WATER THE OTHER NAMED BEVERAGES DON'T HAVE.0 -
Right, lets see. 8 glasses of water a day or 8 glasses of random crap i.e some full fat coke and some lucozade (very calorific). I think the 8 glasses of water is gunna be a lot more beneficial. It flushes out toxins ect, i can really see fizzy pop ect doing that, more like the cals would just add to me hips so please, get over yourself.

That's not a bad idea actually... then we could lock ourselves in away from the stupid you're trying to spread.0 -

It's interesting that you're going between water & 'full fat coke'. There's no middle ground? nothing like tea, or zero calorie drinks in your world?0 -
Flushes out bad toxins. Good for your liver!

Coke is fat free--even regular Coke. Completely, totally, 100% fat free. There is no "full fat coke." I have a friend who is a rocket scientist for NASA. Can I have her send you the data on this?0 -
And again, because artificial sweetners make you crave the real thing.

Also - fizzy pop is 90% water. 10% other things
the 10% other things is where the calories come from
Why are you arguing that the 90% water from pop isn't as good as 'pure' water?0 -

But what does this have to do with the benefits of water?
Also, tea doesn't need to be sweetened - it's water with leaves/herbs/dried fruits soaked in it. There's no artificial sweeteners in it.0 -
Ok to the point. I never said they don't have the same benefits, i said they don't have AS MANY BENEFITS.... U understanding so far??? Any wonder i keep responding when your just stating pure crap and things i havnt said.

What "toxins" do I need flushed that my kidneys and liver don't flush automatically?? Your kidneys and liver will remove toxins no matter what fluids you give them--water isn't magical. What benefit to the liver? This is nonsense. What does "good for your liver" even mean? In what way is it good?
And BTW, toxin means poison, so "bad toxins" is redundant.0 -

Okay, so what you're saying is that by adding things to water, you negate SOME OF THE BENEFITS, despite the drink still being over 90% water?
Cool story bro
BTW - your exact quote, since you can't seem to remember it, was Thats quite dumb really, water has tons of benefits that all these other drinks don't.
You didn't say anything about some or all of the benefits.0 -

Water absolutely does NOT flush out toxins. Take a few lessons in human anatomy and physiology. Toxin removal is handled by your liver and your kidneys, drinking water has absolutely nothing to do with it. Your lungs remove toxins when you breathe out. Drinking water does not.
Flushes out bad toxins. Good for your liver!
It supresses appetite.

If you drink water and then add caffeine it does negate the value of the water because it is a diuretic and will make you pee it out thus making you less hydrated...It's really not rocket science. I can't believe anyone would argue that soda/tea/coffee/etc. is just as good for you to drink as water.0
-
You can add fruit to it! Or cucumber slices. Honestly though, I used to dislike water. Until I decided to drink nothing but it. You really love it! I drink nothing else.0
-
And again, that is false, there is absolutely no truth to the claim that artificial sweeteners make you crave anything.
Urm, because thats a benefit, duh!And again, because artificial sweetners make you crave the real thing.
But what does this have to do with the benefits of water?
Besides, how would that be a benefit for water over black coffee, which contains no calories, or artificial sweeteners?0 -

Have you bothered to actually read the thread? Including all of the scientific evidence prevented that proves that caffeine does NOT effect hydration? It's not really rocket science...If you drink water and then add caffeine it does negate the value of the water because it is a diuretic and will make you pee it out thus making you less hydrated...It's really not rocket science. I can't believe anyone would argue that soda/tea/coffee/etc. is just as good for you to drink as water.0 -
I never knew it was even possible to hate water, I mean it doesn't even have a taste. I guess it's possible then.
Well, to be honest I would recommend you to still drink as much water as you can despite your dislike for it. But if it really bothers you that much, you could try adding a few drops of lemon to it (at home, try to avoid the already flavored water you buy at the store) or maybe you'd like it better if it were ice cold? Try that as well. You can also drink green tea.
Good luck.0 -
And again, because artificial sweetners make you crave the real thing.
Urm, because thats a benefit, duh!
But what does this have to do with the benefits of water?
No it's not. If it were true, it would be a disadvantage for the other beverages, but not benefit of water. You haven't provided any links to published and peer reviewed studies proving it to be true, so right now, it's just broscience. Care to cite your sources?
Duh!0 -
Just throwing this out there.....coffee and milk have benefits that water does not0
