    i’ll never understand the people who absolutely can’t stand drinking just plain water. though i guess they’ll never understand how i will 100% of the time refuse water with any bullshit added for “flavor”

        My second most important item that I keep near myself at all times (after my prescription glasses) is a 1.5 liter refillable water bottle.

      I’m one of those people. Plain water just doesn’t satisfy my craving most of the time.

      Especially in hot weather when im active I can literally drink myself sick on “plain” water and still feel the need to drink more.

      Add just about any type of flavoring (even in less than recommended amounts) and suddenly I can drink reasonable amounts of water and feel satisfied.

      Depends on where you are and what the source is. If the tap water isn’t filtered, and the only bottled water is in plastic bottles, I’ll take a flavoured drink of some kind over it because I hate the taste that gets left behind by the plastic.

    Hahaha this is exactly how I’ve always felt about those things. They’re cool aid for stupid people. It’s part of the reason why so many people are obese but think it’s just inherent because they always take the healthy option.

    Vitamin water is not a healthy alternative to ANYTHING. It’s sugar water that markets itself by making you feel less guilty about drinking it.

    Powerade knows it’s place (1st in my heart).

    To avoid plastic waste, I’m ready to have it piped to drink and to shower and wash my clothes/dishes in.
