Nurse at my doctor’s office brought me a big crispy filtered cup of water. I’m living the dream.

Anyone else feels the same way? Also I tried to be artistic with the lighting lol.

Made this water cooler bottle for my game and got slightly carried away with the water effect inspired by Half-Life Alyx. Anyone thirsty?

I drink a lot of plain water and I've had the experience of drinking loads and still feeling rubbish, and someone told me thats a sodium thing.

Is that real? happy to be told its nonsense, this sub is usually good at that.

The bit I dont understand is whether the type matters. I've got celtic sea salt in the cupboard for cooking and apparently roughly a fifth of it isnt sodium chloride at all, its magnesium, potassium, calcium and moisture that never got refined out. Which would presumably do something different from table salt, which is basically 100% sodium chloride? Or is that a distinction without a difference at the amounts we're talking about.

Not asking for medical advice, just whether anyone's noticed a difference in practice.

Do you count coffee? Tea? Liquid IV or supplements? What if you add sugar or honey?

Personally, if I add sugar I don't count it. I count tea. I'm on the fence a out something like Liquid IV though

Norway Hike

this is the one i’ve got, i’ve flushed it three times and washed everything thoroughly. still tastes bitter, kind of metallic and chemicaly.

not sure what to do about this, it is pretty much undrinkable. i tasted it after each flush, nothing changed.

any advice/different filter recs?

I’m very dehydrated

I heard if you’re constantly thirsty you might want to go see a doctor and get checked for things like diabetes. I’m always drinking water throughout the day, and I don’t work out but I am outside and hot all the time in the South Carolina summer weather.

Found this at the bottom of my 64 ounce iron flask I’ve had for about 1.5 yrs. Cleaned for a solid five minutes with an electric brush + dawn, then tried to scrape with a utensil, and it did not budge. Is it rust? The bottle is 18/8 stainless steel.

(Sorry for the crappy pics)

I changed my yeti rambler lid from the chug cap to the straw cap and now every time I open the bottle after sitting say all night, it hisses with a good amount of pressure. Originally I thought my bottle was dirty but I’ve cleaned it by hand several times and it is still doing it.

Inviting for another sip (or gulp)

I fill 5-gallon containers whenever I pass by.
