Anyone drinking alot more water recently?

Maybe it's just me, but the past couple months I've been drinking water like it's going out of style, I have no ailments, so it's not diabetes or anything like that. I put this in the 2012 section because maybe the coming of the golden age is changing the universal pulse and altering the level of water intake we need? Iuno just a thought I figured I should share.

I have actually been drinking less it seems but I do drink other liquids made with water (like tea-fruit juice- some bottled water- seldom but sometimes pop) I just dont drink as much tap as I used to that has the "Flouride" in it.

The only time I drink water is when I'm exceptionally thirsty.

Any other time, I prefer flavoring. So, am I drinking more pop/beer/kool aid lately? Errr...no.

Since I got married, last Year, I've been drinking less Water ... I knew my Wife would be the death of me

Has anything changed in your lifestyle? Are you more active than normal, anything that would cause you to use more water? I too am sensitive to my water content and I can feel just the slightest changes when comes to my hydration levels. For the first time ever in my life, I woke up the other morning soaking wet where I had been sweating. Then around noon, I could start feeling the affects and I ended up drinking over a half gallon of water over the next few hours until the affects subsided. When I notice changes like you suggest, I always have to look at myself and my actions before I start looking for outside sources. Keep in mind, typically, we cause our own little ailments or oddities such as this.

... ... ... ...

If I were you I would just go see a doctor... (and possibly not read so much ATS)

raging thirst is a symptom of radiation sickness and also more common ailments get yourself checked out....maybe you are just in a growth spelll?

I've not long come into the habit of having 2 pint glasses a night of water, probably wouldn't if it wasnt Scottish water though.

My New years resolution was to drink more water... and Yes... I've replaced all soda with coffee and water hahah

Oh crap

I have been. Due to the reports about Diet Cola's etc being such a deterent to losing weight and what they do to ones heart.

The older I get I find myself eating better and being more careful. Must be human nature.

Same here. The only liquids I drink now are water and milk. I stay away from sugary drinks and alcohol.

Water from my well and whiskey are pretty much all I've been drinking since the holidays. Have a coffee every now and then but nothing like the 4 cups a day I used to drink. Stopped drinking beer and won't touch a soda anymore, if I have a hankering for one I mix some juice with a seltzer water and I don't feel like crap afterwards.

I've lost some weight and after the initial caffeine withdrawal I feel like I have more energy. Plus I save some money because I use a stainless steel reusable bottle instead of always buying bottled water.

The whiskey is for you know, I still need a few vises.

Yeah, but like in coffee form too, but like late in the evening? I make my coffee pretty light. Like it's not so much about water or coffee, it's just I don't want pop for some strange reason. Which is abnormal for me. So, I've been drinking more not pop.

yep I ditched caffeine and dyes. Can't say its for 2012, it is doc's orders :/ at least my well isn't flammable.

I drink water like a camel.

But that must have got something to do with the fact that I drink 30 coffees a day or so ^^

Sure, but I do workout about 5 days a week for a hour a day. Circuit training is rough.

Yes, I have been drinking more water lately actually! Thankyou for posting this! I thought I was the only one!

Note: Summer in Australia concluded yesterday. I am yet to investigate the correlation between hot weather and water consumption however, I believe I may be on to something, will keep you posted!

Also, this will blow your mind; 2012 is 'The Year Of The Water Dragon' according to Chinese tradition!!!

2012- Year Of The Water Dragon

You're absolutely on to something!

ETA: SARCASM!

How can you possibly even imagine a direct link between increased consumption of water to 2012 "phenomena"? I've been drinking a lot more Carlton Draught beer lately..maybe on the 21st of December beer will rain from the sky!?

Congratulations on being another contributor of rubbish speculation based on zero fact.

There was a thread a few weeks back about Dannon Brinkly and the 2012 changes. He mentions that we will all be getting very thirsty and to drink lots of water...don't have time to dig the thread up, but shouldn't be hard to find.

Oh jeez, lets just hunt em down why don't we.

OP is just thinking about the correlation to the changes we are all experiencing right now and changes they are experiencing themselves to find those who may notice themselves but don't think it's important enough to share.

Sharing thoughts is where a lot of great evolution has founded itself. Chillax.
