i think i make coffee so strong it counts more as a hot cereal -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 25, 20:59
I'd like to smack the "8 glasses of water" doctor. -- nm - Reagen Jan 25, 20:32 22
- I was just given the "8 glasses of water" speech by nurses at the hospital. - kelly Jan 25, 21:12 18
  - I'll put it this way - there's nothing *wrong* with drinking 8 glasses of water a day - Reagen Jan 25, 21:16 13
    - Well, I'm a huge soda drinker. I'm guessing Diet Coke is mostly water, too. If not, the SodaStream we make is definitely water. - kelly Jan 25, 21:20 11
      - yes, of course it is. look at it! it's wet! - loosi Jan 25, 21:35 2
        
        Right, but caffeine, diuretic, blah blah blah. -- nm - kelly Jan 25, 21:38 1
        
        the diuretic effect is exaggerated. it has been tested and is almost undetectable. -- nm - loosi Jan 25, 21:44
      - Heh. This seems like the basis for a great bar bet. - Reagen Jan 25, 21:25 7
        
        that's cheating, because sugar is dense, and tomatoes have air in them. -- nm - loosi Jan 25, 21:36 1
        
        in other words, a perfect bar bet question. -- nm - Reagen Jan 25, 21:38
        
        That's still a lot of water for the Coke, though. -- nm - kelly Jan 25, 21:26 4
        
        oh sure. It's just who would guess the solid and not the liquid? - Reagen Jan 25, 21:28 3
        
        yes, diuretic effect of caffeine is crazy overblown. Some folks (including personal trainers) insist that for every cup of coffee, - loosi Jan 25, 21:37
        
        Gotcha. - kelly Jan 25, 21:29 1
        
        the net effect of coffee is hydration, by a lot. -- nm - loosi Jan 25, 21:44
    - particular health issues always come first. -- nm - loosi Jan 25, 21:20
  - and of course ... as long as you are not drinking vodka, liquids are made of water! hello! -- nm - loosi Jan 25, 21:14
  - ARGH!!! wtf? its based on NOTHING. you're supposed to pee 5-6 times a day. If you're peeing 15 times - loosi Jan 25, 21:13 2
    - eh, my situation might be different. - kelly Jan 25, 21:16 1
      - lol. yes, I seriously considering typing that pregnant women are differnt, and I should have done so. -- nm - loosi Jan 25, 21:19
- Don't. Get. Me. Started. -- nm - loosi Jan 25, 21:07
- WeightWatcher's latest innovation has moved away from just 'water' to include all calorie free beverages. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jan 25, 20:57 1
  - that is nice of them. also, proves they have two brain cells. -- nm - loosi Jan 25, 21:07
