    Anyway I do believe that drinking plenty of water is good for you.. I mean it is water how can it be bad for you?? Unless it is like mud puddle water :p

    Forget the 6-pack thing then...

    Again, it keeps your toxicity level lower which means you are healthier. It's not like if you don't drink lots of water, you're gonna die...but it does help. It's not a myth.


    tis true...

    If you don’t drink enough water, your body will stick to it’s water deposits for as long as it can, and the toxins in your body will not be transpired and will stay in your body.

    drinking a lot of water also speeds up your metabolism.

    Yes and you just feel better when you're properly hydrated. We got a nice filter on our faucet, and now I can drink water in the morning without gagging. You feel more awake during the day if you have some water when you get up. I work out a lot, so I drink a lot of water.

    You don't need 8 glasses a day to be "healthy", but ask anyone over the age of 25 w/ a six pack how much water they drink each day. Guranteed you'll get an average answer of 1-1.5 gallons. Drinking more water consistently all day (not chugging 2 glasses here and 2 glasses there) will make you much less bloated...and your toxicity level goes way down. So you are healthier.

    Ok, so I used to drink a gallon per day, for about 2 years. I just had a big nalgene that I filled 4 times a day at work. I had stop when I changed jobs because I was in the bathroom ALL the time. And yeah, I think it may have contributed to my good physique at the time...however, it didn't really make me feel healthy. In fact, it kinda made me feel UNhealthy. I kinda felt like it was washing all the nutrients out of my system or something, I can't explain it really, but I often felt like I was getting TOO much water.

    gatorade has a ton of sugar too. but I have to say, there is nothing better after:

    1) a hangover

    2) a 3-hour pearl jam show

    3) a long race

    well I was never allowed to drink KoolAid as a kid, so I don't know much about it, but don't you add the sugar yourself? is it possible to add less than is called for?

    Koolaid Koolaid - tastes great!
    Went to the bathroom - too late!

    You don't add the sugar I don't think. It is possible to add less, but then it'll taste like off-water ;)
