I might do that when I’m working outside in the heat… but at a desk job? I just don’t understand this. You really like the taste of water that much? You think this is somehow necessary? Your employer doesn’t mind you running to the bathroom every half hour? (Actually, I have no way to know if you do or not, but unless I’m doing something that makes me sweat a lot, that much water would have ME running to the toilet quite often!)

Love water. I drink a gallon a day.

Your body does adjust to getting more of it so (believe it or not) you’re not constantly running to the bathroom.

Yep, loads of water, fizzy or still. very rarely drink anything sugared.

One of my most memorable drinks of any kind was the ice-cold spring water from a drinks fountain on Appleby golf course (Cumbria, northern England) straight off the fells, when you are hot and tired there’s nothing better.

Ice water with lemon is my absolute favorite drink in the world. Above my love for beer, wine, and coffee.

I have to add that when I drink anything sugary - soda, vitamin water, whatever - I’m usually left with that sticky residue, which I find very annoying. My mouth doesn’t feel “right” again until I’ve washed it down with some water.
