gwalchmai Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 How many of you start the day with a big old glass of water? I enjoy a 16oz class of pure, cold water from our dispenser before I even have coffee. Then coffee, my daily pills, and whatever environmentally sustainable breakfast portion I'm allowed (banana this morning). I've increased my kidney function tremendously since December as well as all my other numbers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batesmotel Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 My usual breakfast is a glass of fresh juice followed by a glass of water. We are luckily here. We have great water right off the snowpack. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minderasr Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Every morning, 16 oz of water straight from the tap. We have a private well and, according to my trusty pocket TDS meter, TDS runs ~65 PPM. I make sure I'm drinking at least 64 oz of water per day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Longmire Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I drink lots of water right from my 126' deep well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar_ml Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I stick almost exclusively to water. Primarily water from our well. Shallow well, the pump is at maybe 50 feet, and you can see water 15-20 feet down from the surface. Where the well is it used to have a hand dug well and a windmill way back in the day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyzz Kydd Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Coffee in the morning. Water the rest of the day. Straight from the tap. Every now and then I treat myself and drink lemonade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex GF had arsenic way above federally approved levels. I convinced her to start buying water for drinking and cooking. She mostly drank alcohol anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maser Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I got one of those double insulated thermoses from Amazon about a year ago. I swear those things are works of sorcery how they manage to keep water ice cold even in the heat. Anyways, I always keep that thing filled with filtered water. My gentle millennial kidneys can't handle raw tap water. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have an artesian well in town that can’t be connected to city water because of uranium. People still fill bottles from it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janice6 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Don't know why but I have never liked "Water", fresh or otherwise. I will drink lots in Coffee all day long, or as mix, but by choice, NO. It's interesting to me, but I have never figured out why. I just don't want or like it plain. Flavored is ok. I have consumed Coffee as early as I can remember. Back in my younger days it was with Cream and Sugar, now just black. My father taught me to drink hot Coffee from a saucer as early as I can remember. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My father taught me to drink hot Coffee from a saucer as early as I can remember. Honest to god...I think I'm gonna fall over.... Thought I was the ONLY one out there. The only time I wanted seriously nothing but water was when I was up a Pole for like 3-4 hours and my Mountain Dew just wasn't cuttin it. Then they would rinse out the old Coke bottle and fill it up from the water cooler. Damnit... THAT was good! then, back to my Mountain Dew. Nowdays? Hardly Any straight water at all. Less ya count Ice cubes. Janice, ya need to try the Flavored water from Walgreens my man. Strawberry Kiwi, Key Lime, and a bunch more. ALL of them 00000 in Everything, including sugar and Sodium! Been drinkin it all day for years and mixin it with my Vodka at night!!! Give it a Try my man!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampfox762 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Janice, one more thing, If ya do decide to try that flavored water at Walgreens, (It's Walgreens Brand, "Nice") When ya bring it home unscrew the caps before ya put it in the Fridge to let the carbonation de fizz.. I actually put about 4 bottles in a plastic milk container and shake the **** out of it to get the carbonation out quicker. Hope ya like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't deal with carbonation since years ago a stomach operation screwed up the valve between my stomach and esophagus so if I drink a carbonated beverage it foams up at my stomach and right up into my mouth. Sometimes out! Can't sleep on a full stomach either. To drink beer, I have to salt it first to get rid of the fizz. Pop, I pour into a large mouth glass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwalchmai Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 This morning I'm enjoying a BOGOW, 6 dried plums, and six dried apricots. Dried fruit requires extra BOGOWs, of course. And the coffee's on the brew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deputy tom Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 After my meds. with V8 juice , a cup of green tea, an orange, a banana, and a slice of toast, I'll drink two 12 oz glasses of filtered water. Water all day until cocktail time. Then it's just ice cubes. tom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
