[quote norse]What's up with everyone having a bottle of water glued to their hands all the time? When I was growing up, I wasn't sipping water all the time. When I was thirsty, I went to the faucet or drinking fountain for water.
I know, I can't recall ever drinking water except at a local water fountain (which I can't recall anywhere in the neighbourhood aside from the library) and at home.
It's this "got to stay hydrated" craze.
I did a 140 mile or so bike trip three weeks ago with a friend who insisted on staying hydrated. I've done this trip before and didn't drink that much then. In the end, we both ended up feeling pretty "logey", sort of very full yet empty. I think we could have cut back just a tad...heheheh.
