Are we addicted to water?


We cannot live without it. But it has no chemicals and no calories, no taste. Why can we not live without water?

reply

WE ARE WATER.

I've been soda for 2 years now.

LOL...YEAH...I HAVE BEEEN CHERRY COKE FOR THE BETTER PART OF THREE DECADES NOW...BUT EVEN SODA IS MADE FROM A WATER BASE.

Well, cheers, malt.

Did you skip your elementary school health class?

I watched an educational video called 'H2O - the silent killer'. Also the sequel H2O2.

Doesn't sound very educational to me.

Keep in mind that some of these "documentaries" aren't actually based in facts. Some are little more than opinion pieces and propaganda, designed to mislead you or sway your views towards those who made the video. A fine example would be "An Inconvenient Truth," which has no less than 27 scientific errors in it, maybe more.

reply

Most of us *aren't* addicted to water. We simply need it to, you know, SURVIVE.

You might as well ask "Are we addicted to oxygen?"

FWIW, I probably don't drink anywhere near as much water as I should. I'd probably be healthier and fitter if I *was* 'addicted to water.'

reply

We didn't discover oxygen until the 19th century! Before that there was phlogiston. My theory is that the 'cabal' introduced oxygen to sap the morality of our younglings.

Speak for yourself. I can give it up whenever I want. I just need one more fix....

Once I was drinking some water, with the rain falling and I managed to see a mirage of an oasis.

reply

I enjoy water, cheap rum and cold black coffee.

I’m invincible.

reply

Drink more water, then we'll talk.

reply

Don’t give me rules buddy, I’ll drink a bottle of rum and a pot of cold black coffee and then you’d not want to meet me.

I’ll talk your ear off and fall asleep on your couch!

reply

Oh you've got the beans. The rum and the coffee cancel each other I guess. I hope they are not chilled. Water vapour can mess you up.

Sounds like any one of the 'seek wells' of Silence of the Lamb.

reply

It's more a need than a want, but you can neglect to absorb it if you so choose, which many people do, so I wouldn't call it an addiction. I don't know why we need it, though, even if we are made up of water. It's not like trees need bark to live.

reply

Watch the movie 'Waterworld', you'll see how dangerous and undesirable water can be. The script is airtight too.

reply

I've seen Waterworld. I wouldn't call the script airtight, but I liked it despite the bad press.

reply

I bet you haven't seen the fabulous movie, 'Legally frond'.

reply

No, but it sounds quite charming and likely about frogs, perhaps akin to a Wind in the Willows type movie. Would watch.

reply

HUMANS ARE SOMEWHERE AROUND 60% WATER...TREES ARE 50% WATER.

reply

The sun has 0% water in it, yet here we are.

HUMANS ARE SOMEWHERE AROUND 60% WATER


Born to irresponsible parents. Addicted from birth. Never stood a chance.

reply

Okay. But we don't need to consume flesh and bone to exist, or hair to have hair, etc.

reply

Need sodium and potassium from ginger ale also

reply

Can you dumb it down slightly for me?

reply

Ok

reply

we don't need eight glasses a day that's for sure. unless you are walking through the sahara.

reply

It's a conspiracy. The FDA chief sanctioned the certification of water, next thing you know, he becomes the CEO of Evian.
