    In the category of things not to do again, I will add drinking water. I rarely drink just water. If I have to drink a bottle of water, I'll add something to it, even if it's a bit of lemon juice. Because I ran out of Diet Moxie and didn't feel like making a pot of coffee, I drank a couple of (16.9 oz) bottles of water over the course of about an hour and felt light-headed, almost as if I was going to pass out. So from now on, I'll play it safe and stick to coffee, tea, and Diet Moxie.

    Hence, a conundrum.
    One of the multitude of things a human must do to stay healthy is to stay hydrated and one of the ways to do so, one should drink water.
    Now, how can one stay hydrated by drinking water if, in the technical sense, water itself is not wet?

    So, to be in total agreement with you Ken, I too abstain from straight water and do well with coffee or my own “go juice” recipe.
    Besides, if one understands that the water from the tap was deposited in a commode just a few hours earlier by someone else, I can easily stay away from the stuff.

    More people drown in water than in anything else. The stuff should be banned.

    This was spring water, but I still think there should be a warning label on this stuff. CAUTION: MAY CAUSE DIZZINESS OR VERTIGO. Or maybe, CAUTION: BEST USED WITH COFFEE.

    One thing that everyone who dies has in common is that they have consumed water at some point in their lives.

    Have ya’ll had any “iron” or “sulphur” water?
    I remember back when I was just a young lad and iron water is what the well had on grandpa’s farm. I don’t think I even had what we call, drinking water, until I was around 5 or so.

    Well, there's your problem. This is winter. That spring water is probably outdated.

    He should be melting the snow off his roof.
    A little asphalt in your water never hurt anyone.

    It's not the water's fault, it's not the shingles' fault.....it's the asphalt.

    That awkward moment when you spend $5 on Evian water and then you realize that backwards it spells "naive".

    My friend keeps saying, "Cheer up, it could be worse....you could be stuck in water in a hole in the ground."
    I know she means well.

    If you're depressed, try drinking a gallon of water before going to bed. It will give you a reason to get up in the morning.

    How do you make holy water? You boil the hell out of it.

    How can you tell if an ant is a boy or a girl? Easy, you just toss it into the water and if it sinks, it's a girl ant. If it floats, its a buoyant.

    I agreed to go out on a date with my boyfriend after he offered me a bottle of tonic water. I was Schwepped off my feet.....

    I just opened my water bill and my electric bill at the same time. I was shocked!

    Seriously ? Sorry Ken I doubt the water itself made you feel dizzy. Maybe too much at one time, your system could not handle.We all have been drinking tap water since we were born-and we all are still here. Most of everything we put in our mouths is down right nasty-including foods. Least of my worries,will leave that up to you all :D

    Speculation:
    If one places too much citrus into their water, it can go from H2O to H3O so in essence, you’re no longer drinking water but instead, you’re consuming Hydronium. :)
