A tip,
Put fruit in a water bottle
If you want the fruit you'll have to drink the water
(That's how I got myself to drink more water haha)
LOL...I'd probably fish it out or dump it to get to it! That does sound like a great idea though!

I work outside for a good part of the day, and in the Georgia ( u.s. ) heat, I have to drink lots of water. I recommend doing that, if you can, it is amazing how much better you feel, and have energy, when properly hydrated!!

That's correct. And I always have one, or sometimes two glasses with each meal. I usually try to drink a gallon of water a day....... sometimes I fall short.
You only weigh 128lbs!?

I know I'm not drinking 12 eight ounce glasses of water a day. I think that advice is a little off.

Nope. You don't pee that often. Your body absorbs plenty in between bathroom visits, even if you are going every three hours.... and only us old men hit the bathroom 5 times a day.
I hit the bathroom sometimes six times a day....but I take water pills lol

I have my drink after I eat... never during. I've done that since I was a kid lol. But, I do have a gallon of water nearby that I drink throughout the day. I don't really keep track though. I just drink something whenever I feel like it.

I drink coffee and pop and energy drinks, but I'll drink water sometimes if I feel ill. I don't recommend these habits, but I'll admit to it. Cheers!

Yes, i also like it outside for the most part of the day, and/but need to remind to get properly hydrated. It is said we are dehydrated far before we get thirsty.

Your reply got me to bible hub wc has this:

Easton's Bible Dictionary

The drinks of the Hebrews were water, wine, "strong drink," and vinegar. Their drinking vessels were the cup, goblet or "basin," the "cruse" or pitcher, and the saucer.To drink water by measure (Ezek. 4:11), and to buy water to drink (Lamentations 5:4), denote great scarcity. To drink blood means to be satiated with slaughter.The Jews carefully strained their drinks through a sieve, through fear of violating the law ofLeviticus 11:20, 23, 41, 42. (See Matthew 23:24. "Strain at" should be "strain out.")Drink, strong: (Hebrews shekar'), an intoxicating liquor (Judges 13:4; Luke 1:15; Isaiah 5:11;Micah 2:11) distilled from corn, honey, or dates. The effects of the use of strong drink are referred to in Psalm 107:27; Isaiah 24:20; 49:26; 51:17-22. Its use prohibited, Proverbs 20:1. (see WINE.)

Nice to hear from you all. Sori, unable to come back sooner.. As ugly said, i believe ive heard it before, but by habit, i still drank during meals. |And just now at breakfast... i suddenly remind myself-- drink later! Maybe it has to do w. how fast we eat also, for when u find urself gulping food esp at breakfast time, i, for one really need a nudge to go more slowly. Ah, now i remember also someone saying we could drink/sip water in one-hr intervals during the day, for it is not getting a glass of water in that matters so much as how long the water stays in the body. And theres even the suggest to shake a bottle some 40 shakes before drinking-- has anyone tried that-- for it gets easier to drink, a chemist's blog said. That is if u drink from a bottle, for if i shake a glass... there would be none left to drink-).
