i'll never understand the people who absolutely can't stand drinking just plain water. though i guess they'll never understand how i will 100% of the time refuse water with any bullshit added for "flavor"

I'm one of those people. Plain water just doesn't satisfy my craving most of the time.

Especially in hot weather when im active I can literally drink myself sick on "plain" water and still feel the need to drink more.

Add just about any type of flavoring (even in less than recommended amounts) and suddenly I can drink reasonable amounts of water and feel satisfied.

Yea it’s called electrolytes, dude. Even a tiny bit of salt in the water will help a lot. It isn’t a “craving”; you just sweat out a bunch of salt and straight water will dilute you even further.

And I don’t think anyone who’s a big hydrohomie, myself included, will make fun of you for smashing a gatorade in a heatwave. I love plain water but I’ll do that if I really need something now.

While electrolytes definitely help, it's literally any flavoring. And again even with tiny amounts added (think hints of flavor) I'm good.

I used the hot weather drinking to simply emphasize. Even in cold weather plain water doesn't usually satisfy the craving to drink for me.

I like how you were taught something cool, and instead of choosing to learn, you rejected it and continued living in delusion.

I like how you completely missed that what Soup was talking about doesn’t apply to thejoker954’s situation.

I didn't miss anything.
