How do so many people just… not drink water?

r/

My partner is one of those people who never drinks water. If anything they’ll have a soda, but most of the time they don’t drink anything at all. My cousin would also never drink water growing up, only milk.

How is this comfortable? I can’t go half a day without drinking water, let alone multiple days in a row.

    They drink enough of something to meet their body’s needs.

    My proof: they are still alive.

    A lot of people are like this. But according to a recent study, 75% of Americans do not drink enough water.

    People be pissing razor blades for sure. I e. Uti’s I would have thought.
    Anything I drink goes straight through and I’m letting out more than goes in it seems. I don’t know what’s with that, but my dad and brother have the same thing. Drink a beer and 2 beers worth comes out. But nothing on labs suggests anything is untoward. it’s just how it is. liquid in, 15min later liquid out. Makes road trips challenging, or any drive longer than 15min challenging if there’s been liquids involved though.

    I would admit I am not a huge water drinker but not because I don’t like (flavored) water, I just sort of forget to drink? I can go hours without drinking anything at all.

    I don’t drink enough water. I just don’t get that thirsty, so I don’t think of it. I’ll often get a big glass of water and set it next to me while I’m reading or watching TV, and two hours can go by and I’ll take like 3 sips. But if I do feel thirsty, I’ll guzzle down half the glass in one go. I‘m always trying to get better about it, but rarely do a good job of it.

    Never enough water. I’m always thirsty, especially at mornings.

    My parents are like this. They adamantly refuse to drink water. They only drink diet soda and diet ice tea.

    Soda is probably 99% water.

    My mom used to be firmly convinced that consuming any water at all was a sign of being hung over and therefore an alcoholic. The only healthy beverages were caffeine, beer, or wine.

    She did eventually develop diabetes which contributed to her demise.

    Same. If I go one day drinking 40 ounces or less my pee is mellow yellow the next day

    I often go a month without drinking actual water. H2O is H2O, be it coffee, coke, or apples.
