I drink almost exclusively our wonderful well water. Straight up….no additives.
I don’t drink the water when in town…at our elderlies or out to eat. Cuz the small town has the most wretched-tasting water! YUK. So I drink ice tea or 7-up. I drink 7-up or it’s cousins at home only if I have digestive issues. And a few times per winter I have hot cocoa before bed!
However, I live at very high altitude in the alpine desert of the Rockies out West. So we are all kinda perpetually dehydrated. I have water bottles all over the house. You can get a pinprick in your throat suddenly…including the middle of the night. Cough your head off without a quick drink. I’m always within reach of water. I usually drink a fourth to a half a water bottle thru the night.
So I carry water everywhere…in town. To the barnyard. Used to carry plenty on horse rides, of course! Do I drink enough? I can’t really tell cuz I’m drinking out of so many different water bottles. Not sure someone can ever drink enough/too much out here in this arid region.
