I hate water

Charloo1990

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??

Thats quite dumb really, water has tons of benefits that all these other drinks don't.

Name one. If there's "tons," it should be easy to name just one of them, right?

It supresses appetite.

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.

Flushes out bad toxins. Good for your liver!

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?

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.

do you even know what you're saying?

"Thats quite dumb really, water has tons of benefits that all these other drinks don't."

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.

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.

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?

LOLOLOLOL
& other liquids don't do the same thing? Remember - your original statement was that water has benefits that OTHER DRINKS DON'T

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.

HAHAHA Full fat coke!
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?

And again, because artificial sweetners make you crave the real thing.

There's no fat in coke...

Ok, full calorie coke.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

moonsforeyes

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.

And again, that is false, there is absolutely no truth to the claim that artificial sweeteners make you crave anything.

Besides, how would that be a benefit for water over black coffee, which contains no calories, or artificial sweeteners?

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...

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.

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!

Just throwing this out there.....coffee and milk have benefits that water does not
