Water

Water, just the word makes me thirsty. I live in Arizona where the temps rise up to 111+ degrees F in the summer. That's hot. Nothing works as well as a cold drink of water to quench my thirst when faced with these scorching days. As a kid, the only two things we ever had around to drink were water and milk, so drinking lots of water became a habit early on. I can remember my brothers pulling weeds in the soybean fields where we lived in North Carolina. I wasn't allowed to pull weeds (though I'd have liked to, they made five dollars a day each!) so my job was to get a big ol' Mason jar, carefully fill it with ice, fill it at the flowing well with fresh, sparkling water and walk it out to them three times a day. I carried that precious water as if it were worth its weight in gold. Never touching it, but cradling it in my apron or skirt, so the warmth from my hands wouldn't melt the ice, and it was shaded from the harsh rays of the sun. It was about a half mile walk. When I reached ... Read more

favorite beverage! nothing compares to water. ever since i've been drinking more water, i no longer feel the desire to drink soft drinks or anything of that sort.

wow...

When in doubt- stick to the biological necessity of this fascinating live-giving substance.

Sometimes there is just no substitute...

Works well, but I'm not one of those people who walk around with a bottle of water all the time.

Glacier cold with a ton of ice in it, absolutely.

There is nothing better to quench your thirst than a tall glass of icy-cold water, especially after working out!

I'm one of those people who carries a (stainless steel) bottle of water around with me.I know I can't live forever, but I definitely want to die before I get old.

I can't knock water too much, 'cause it's a necessity and whatnot...but I find it quite hard, with everything else they give us as options, to actually pick up a water drinking habit. I've gotten into drinking flavored water just so I know that I'm getting something healthy in my body once in awhile haha (how sad!)

I'm not a big fan of water.It just doesn't have enough taste in it for me...but when I've been out exercising there is nothing better than cold water...it's like the breath of life.

Water is the BEST thing to quench your thirst, whether it's after a hard workout or during a meal.  If you have it in your head that just isn't doing it and you're feeling waterlogged just add a squirt of lemon and your thirst will go away. I don't know what it is but it helps dramatically!  Doesn't make your water taste gross either.

WATER!!!!!

water pretty much rocks.  when i'm horribly dehydrated.  There is nothing better than water.  Room Temperature.  No Ice. No lemon (ever).

4.5. best thing to drink for health. doctors always suggest to drink enough water for the body. good with lots of ice. and get get right from the tap.

Probably the best thirst quencher.

It takes some getting use to,but drinking water really is the only thing i can drink if Im really thirsty.

I didn't used to care much for water, but it's very healthy and try to drink as much of it as I can.

I can't drink anything without taste,even though I know that water is the best thirst-quencher, and the best flusher, and has no calories, but drinking water for me is like drinking air just filling up my stomach without actually feeling it. I have to squeeze lemon or add syrup or honey, but plain water is not working for me.

Weird thing is, a secretary at my office says she doesn't like water and has to "force" herself to drink it. What's not to like?

I love water i drink it all day and with all 3 meals Not to say i dont have my fair share of sodas and sports drinks, but when i want to really quench my thirst i go for a big bottle of Figi or Aquafina, even a nice glass right from the tap with lots of ice. Water simply cant be beaten.

Nothing quenches your thirst like cool clean water with no chemicals.

Water: goes down cold, smooth, and finishes clean...much better than any beer. ;)

After a hard workout I couldn't imagine gulping down a bottle of coke to quench my thirst. It has to be a nice cold bottle of water, that hits the spot...

My favorite beverage. Even better that it's free. I sit at work and drink gatorade bottle after gatorade bottle full of ice and water. It can't be beat. I love water. Not sure what compelled me to say this at this particular moment, but it had to be said.

Absolutely. There is nothing like it and you can drink as much as you want to quench your thirst without worrying about the calories. It has to be ice cold spring or city water though. Well water is not good at all.

I guess a nice deep draught of ice water really hits the spot on a sultry day.

water is the best thing when you are really thirsty. sometimes nothing else will do. a big glass with lots of ice is the best

My wife doesn't drink between meals, but when she eats, she can drink about 8 16oz glasses of water. That's a gallon of water with ONE meal. If we go to a restaraunt, we usually have to ask them to bring us a pitcher, or we'll have our waiter running all over the place trying to keep her glass full. I know you have to discount the ice but that's still a whole lot of water. I try to spread mine out through the day, but I still probably dring water about 80% of the time. I try to drink about a gallon a day, just because of how important hydration is to one's health.

Out here in the desert, it is one of the two best thirst Quenchers. I never go out 4-wheeling without water.

Only when my mouth is really dry and I just want something to satisfy my thirst. A lot of times during the summer I'll wake up because of the heat so I'll just have a glass of water.

The best thirst quencher there is! Nothing better than a cold glass of water. My brother-in-law serves his water at room temperature which makes me want to puke though.

Adams Ale, my Dad used to say.Nothing beats water when you're thirsty:hopefully spring water or filtered,as tap water is now rather noxious thanks to corporate and private polluters.

When I'm really thirsty, nothing quenches my thirst like water. The second best thing would be iced tea.

I'm not all that big on drinking just plain water, but as a thirst quencher, it's the most straightforward way to do it.

easily my favorite beverage, nothing quenches your thirst like ice cold purified water.

Very good at quenching my thirst, though I confess I didn't start drinking water until I discovered that it is conducive to weight loss. I squirt a little lemon juice in ice water to make it more palatable. I've also noticed I'm not as susceptible to skin breakouts when I drink plenty of water.

You can NEVER go wrong with purified ice water -- no calories, no fat, no artifical flavors! That makes it the best natural diet drink one can find. Plus, it does great in quenching the thirst.
