Wow! Concentrated water - drink at your own risk! :o)

[lasst10]

Yesterday and today, I started my day out by drinking 1L of water during the commute to work, which is about 45min. (of course, I have to pace myself, so I don't need to go until I get there! )

Water has always been my beverage of choice, except when having my morning tea, but not that much in that amount of time. I was really surprised at how it made me feel more awake and energized, which is something that typically doesn't happen unless I've had a fair amount of caffeine!

And think of all the benefits - the usual goodness of drinking water, *and* the extra energy to bound back and forth to the loo all morning!

i read something a wile ago that said if you drink ice water it will wake you up better then coffee .. So if you drink a big glass of ice water first thing in the morning you can ditch the coffee .. i haven't tried it yet but it makes sense i guess

I love a cold glass of water as much as the next guy but the last time I tried to "ditch" coffee my wife and kids were fixing a cup and bringing it to me "DRINK THIS NOW FOR THE LOVE OF GOD" I gotta have my coffee with splenda and heavy cream in the morning.

I love to drink water, but I do prefer it to be at room temperature. Iced water might taste even better, but cold water apparently isn't good for your kidneys. Anyhow, I do notice that the more water I drink, the better my skin looks... it's awesome!

I'm still drinking coffee to, just decaf, yet it tastes like real ;-)

For me, this was drinking a lot of water before eating or drinking anything. It had about the same effect on me as getting a skim latte at Starbuck's!

I rarely drink ice water (or even cold water). My favorite temp is out of the fridge dispenser. It's cooler than tap, but not cold.
