Americans think that drinking water is a challenge

>forcing yourself to drink too much water
just dumb

>>75878506
I'm pretty sure that container has the amount of water we're supposed to drink per day.

apparently, many people have problems remembering to drink enough.

I would be pissing non stop if I drank he recommended amount

>>75878578
>remembering to drink enough.
People have spend millenia drinking as much water as they feel like, and they're fine.

I think you should make sure you have water readily available at all times (ie having to climb a flight of stairs and wash a glass to drink is a deterrent) but just listen to your body.

Talked with an african fellow one day who was flabbergasted that i peed yellow
he apparently rarely peed anything but translucide pee

as he was a semi-professional football player, a part time football coach, and 15 cms higher than me i'm guessing that was in the right

Hyeah? Hwull, you try and yabstain from soda pop for twenny four hours and see how good YOU do, buddy!

>>75878812
Why were you guys talking about pissing?
>>75878619
This

why are women like this? just fucking drink it, no need to write on it and post it to social media

>>75878146
that's like a gallon of water, and you're supposed to drink roughly eight 8-ounce glasses of water every day, so since 8 times 8 is 64oz and there's 128 ounces in a gallon whoever is doing this shit is drinking twice the amount of water that they should be.

no wonder it's a challenge, these idiots are literally flushing their bodies with water every day, it's actually probably some sort of diet.

doing some research it turns out that it is. it's a weight loss diet.

Your pee being yellow is good, since it means that your kidneys are working fine, getting all those toxins out of the things you drink and eat.

But the ideal thing to do is to not eat and drink the things that contain the toxins that make your pee yellow in the first place.

I drink 4-5 liters of water a day because food makes you fat, coffee is too expensive and cigarettes are bad for my lungs.
I just need to be consuming some kind of shit or I lose my fucking mind, maybe next time I'll try crack cocaine.

Majority of people dont get enough water, and in result they are more tired, their brain cant function aswell and their skin becomes worse.
Our bodies are very adaptable and pretty durable, if something hurts then its bad enough already

>>75879358
I don't think that's good for you. People die of drinking too much water

>>75878767
>cavemen were fine

you can't "listen" to your body. most people are under hydrated and not aware of the symptoms. so stop being a caveman.

>>75878812
>>75878886
I've noticed doggos always piss yellow. If drinking enough water is a natural instinct, why aren't they doing it?

>>75879466

yeah, fuck that, just drink beer when you are thirsty.

>>75879458
more people die from chocking with food than diluted blood familia, I once drank 10 liters in 23 hours because I was starting with my eating disorders and nothing happened.

>>75879631
*24 hours

>>75879589
Two things.

1. Beer is nasty as fuck, I have no idea why people drink literal pisswater
2. Beer dehydrates me, making my body tell me I should drink water.

Beer is not the solution but the problem.

>>75879519
Drinking water is not a very strong instinct for a lot of animals, cats are supposed to eat "wet" food (crude meat) because they originated in a desertic zone and basically they don't have the instinct to drink water (they only "use" the water from food). Also if you don't give water to doggos they have no way to drink

>>75879631
so?
>le more people die of coconuts than sharks
does that mean you shouldn't worry about sharks? try sucking on ice cubes instead, it makes your brain think you're eating

>>75878886
>not talking about pissing when you meet an African

It's a French custom.

>>75879528
drinking when you're thirsty is a must to even stay alive. that doesn't mean that it's enough.

you can be dehydrated without dropping dead on the spot. instead, you may feel constantly fatigued, among other symptons. a lot of anons on 4chan say that they feel tired all the time. for all I know, they might actually be dehydrated without knowing it.

>>75879358
Impossible that coffee could be too expensive. 90% of my diet is coffee affordable on any budget especially in Italy. Show up at St. Peter's I'm sure Clement will serve you a cup.

alcohol literally causes dehydration, drinking it because you are thirsty is a stupid decision

>>75879528
because modern western diet has a shitload of salt as never before in human history and is very poor of fresh vegetables and fruits (which are a good source of water)

>they microwave water

>>75879806
Alright, elaborate me this: why doesn't my body stay thirsty until I had enough water for the day?

When I'm hungry and I eat, my body tells me when to stop. That's when I'm full and I necessary don't feel like eating any more.
If I ignore the signals of my body and keep eating, I get fat, which is, surprisingly, unhealthy.

>>75879824
Eating ice is often a sign of mineral deficiency though.
Not that they dont eat it for water or just curiousity too. Im not sure.

>>75879824
cat do it because they found it funny

>>75879458
maybe he sweats a lot and don't get enough minerals trough his food, so drinking a lot of water might be good in his situation. specially if his country has a hot weather.

>>75878578
You're supposed to drink when you're thirsty.
Too much water can kill you.

>>75879885
beer can be less than 4% alcohol, it's perfectly viable as emergency water
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1854_Broad_Street_cholera_outbreak

Your pee should be light yellow to translucent at healthy levels.
That means drinking more water than you normally feel like.

>>75880066
no it can't kill you. you won't be able to drink that much. and no, you can't always tell you are dehydrated. you might think you are tired, or have a mild headache etc. that's especially important as you get older (say, past 30, which i guess it is not a problem yet for most posters).

I was laughing at this picture at first but now it just kinda depresses me that someone doesn't drink enough water that they need to encourage themselves and see it as a challenge, have they just drunk coke all their life or something.

"Water intoxication, also known as water poisoning or hyperhydration, is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain functions that results when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside safe limits by overhydration."

>you can't always tell you are dehydrated
Most people can.
And, you can always look at the color of your pee, or if you have been not drinking water for a day, and feeling a bit down, I think most people would conclude that they need to get some water.
Point being, doctors don't recommend X amount of water per. day. They will tell you to drink when your thirsty.

>>75880330
Well, it's hard yeah. Cases I found they drank like 6l during a short time.

Water has no flavor, your better off drinking only a few sodas and some iced tea or lemonade

you don't need to drink a gallon, half a gallon is enough

but additives doesn't count, soda, coffee and tea does not contribute to water intake

>>75878146
Water is so fucking good.

>>75878971

>>75880163
I'm a medical student, I've seen it happen. Some athletes lose the notion of how much water they are drinking during execise and end up in hospital with a swollen brain and need to have a craniotomy procedure (drill a hole on the skull to decrease pressure), or else they die.

>>75878146

water per day depends on person and given day, everything affects it. Really you should drink depending on if you're thirsty or not.Either these people are drinking too much water or they never drink plain water/don't drink enough water and so can't do it without a "challenge". For most people being thirsty is enough to retain healthy input of water.

I drink a lot of water every day and rarely touch sugary drinks.

>>75880066

thirsts means dehydration, and that isn't supposed to happen in a healthy body.

drinking that much water would surely be a challenge, if you can even read what it's implying.

which I suppose you must be able to, unless critical understanding isn't your forte

One of the worst things I ever saw was in a supermarket about three weeks ago. These white trash goobers (dude, his old lady, and their 3 year old-ish kid) had two 20-packs of soda in their cart. Now how in the actual fuck can two average adults and one preschool-aged child possibly drink that much soda?

>>75883993

I presume it will be another year before you see them with this soda

>>75882243
>tea does not contribute to water intake
i've had enough of americans on this website

>>75883908
yes it is. so long as you dont stay thirsty for more than 7 mins its okay.

>>75883713
True, but I read that it is usually a combination of various factors, i.e. in athletes it is not just drinking too much water. Apparently high physical stress causes an increased secretion of some kind of a anti-diuretic hormone which leads to an increased water conservation by kidneys. So water has nowhere to go and fills the blood cells and then enters brain and then AAAA NIGHMARE.

WHAT. THE. FUGG.
This shit seriously pisses me off and I've already told her that if she ever wants to see results she also needs to exercise and change her diet. Like does she actually expect to wake up one day with the perfect weight with toned muscles because she makes herself a fucking strawberry smoothie? Are all women such fucking brainlets? Fucking dumb bitch always complaining about exhaustion and acne when she lives a sedentary life.
