I do not drink water.

I get really annoyed when people claim that soda dehydrates you because if that was true I would be literally dead, so clearly it must be a myth.

I don't keep track of how much water I drink but I drink a LOT of water. I only drink juice with meals and I quit soda back in August. 2 months strong lol.

I love water, always makes me hydrated and feel good.

Just some links for you to read. Be upset with me all you want for refuting you but I'm just concerned with other human's health as well.

Things I did not say:

1. Soda is healthy.
2. Water is unnecessary.

All I'm saying is that the simplistic "soda dehydrates you" is ******** because I have gone very, very long without drinking water and I am not dead. Therefore, considering when you're not drinking anything you literally die within days, the conclusion is that the particular myth that I was talking about (once again, the myth that's completely unrelated to your links) is BS.

You're welcome not to drink soda; however, your advice on my health considering your lack of knowledge of the first thing about me is unnecessary.

I have a lot of 600ml water bottles at home, I generally try to drink at least one of them per day.

Alfieri is right, though. Soda (Pepsi, Coke, Mt. Dew, etc) does dehydrate you. Not in the typical 'crawling through a desert need a drink now' kind of way, but in the 'my urine is darker than it should be and I want another glass of soda now' kind of way.

I went away but now I'm back again! ^_^

I don't really keep track. Some days I drink a lot of water, other days I flat out don't drink any. I don't really like water though. I only drink it if I feel the need to or there isn't anything else to drink. ^^"

My apartment's tap water smells funny (can't be bothered to spend money on bottled either), so I only drink water when I'm at restaurants or back at my parent's place. I'm sure the assortment of juices and iced tea I drink have enough water if that counts for anything.

I drink water sometimes.

I would drink it significantly more if tap didn't taste like ass in my town. Eugh. It would also help if my ****head brother didn't drink and piss away every ounce from the filtered pitcher without refilling the damn thing.

You might have gunk in your sink's drain which is causing the water to have that odor. Might want to get that checked if it's a concern.

I had no idea this was a thing people said. I've heard people say that alcohol dehydrates you which is actually true, but I've never heard that soda dehydrates you. I believe water is a key ingredient in soda anyway.

I learned to drink water only when I feel the need to.
I probably get almost 1 liter of water from fruit and other foods daily anyways, so the need to actually drink water is lessened; since I do physical activity daily, I still get to drink at least another liter of bottled ( glass ) water.

I usually drink water during meals or when I just feel very thirsty. When I'm out at a restaurant, however, I'll be getting some type of soda, just so the occasion feels just that bit more special :3

Yeah, even in this thread. It is the silliest thing - it's one of the reasons I have so little trust when anyone says anything about soda, honestly. Everyone parrots this fact like it's true and I know it's not from experience soooo how much else on webMD and all those other sites are just misunderstood studies or urban legends??

Considering I drink 3 liters a day and a glass takes about 0.2 liters, that would be...15 glasses a day.

I have to admit, I put in a little bit of Citrus Acid.

I drink a bottle of Willow water most days. It's basically just water from the lake district. It's just so nice and I prefer it to any other water but I can only get it at this really expensive service station near the lake district so I make my dad buy them in bulk when he goes in that direction. I don't really drink tap water.

A lot of water. I primarily drink water.

My main beverage was milk until several years ago when I started dieting. Now I have one glass of milk a day instead of several. Juice I'll have only when I'm sick or like on vacation and out somewhere for breakfast.

Aside from a treat like hot chocolate occasionally or something like tea, which I've only just recently gotten in to, all I drink is water all day.

No water for me, either. I only tend to drink it when I'm sick. Mostly Pepsi for me. Infrequently soy milk, juice, or iced tea. Very infrequently.

I do not drink water.

I get really annoyed when people claim that soda dehydrates you because if that was true I would be literally dead, so clearly it must be a myth.
What drives me nuts is when I mention any kind of health problem - any minor complaint at all, even a mention of a leg cramp - and my parents/friends/etc automatically tell me, "You must be dehydrated from all that Pepsi you drink."

I'm no expert, but I know how to do a skin tent test, and I'm pretty sure clear-light yellow urine is not a sign of dehydration.
And I know I'm not diabetic, so it'd be really great if everyone could stop telling me that I magically developed a disease overnight because Pepsi. There's more sugar in your orange juice, calm down.

Alfieri is right, though. Soda (Pepsi, Coke, Mt. Dew, etc) does dehydrate you. Not in the typical 'crawling through a desert need a drink now' kind of way, but in the 'my urine is darker than it should be and I want another glass of soda now' kind of way.
I must be magic. :P I've actually gotta jump behind Oryx on this one. These "prevalent issues" like dehydration and supposed weight gain from "drinking too much pop" are things that I've just never experienced, either.

I drink about one and a half bottles a day? They're quite small though so I don't think I drink enough to be honest. L:

I drink a lot of water but I don't drink glasses, I drink directly from the tap. So I can't really answer that question.
