Please share your answers in the comments.
Did you grow up drinking from a garden hose when outside? Have and still do when gardening. Im still here.
ReplyDeleteDo you leave home without a massive water bottle? If I do, I regular size bottle. Do I look like a camel?
Do you often buy bottled water? Not much.
When you were growing up, did your home have a well, or a "city water" supply? City supply.
Do you drink enough water each day? I drink about four glasses a day.
I had dinner out last night, and before the cocktails arrived, the waitress brought glasses of water, and I told her to send back the gin and tonic to the bartender...it was weak and tasted of water. Everyone howled.
What it needed was more gin.
DeleteI am mystified by people all carrying gigantic water bottles these days. I get by just fine drinking water here and there when I'm thirsty and I don't carry any bottles. As far as I know I have never been dehydrated. And yes, I drank from a hose growing up!
ReplyDeleteEngland has good water supplies.
Delete1: Did you grow up drinking from a garden hose when outside? Yep. That was fun.
ReplyDelete2: Do you leave home without a massive water bottle? I sometimes have a small water bottle with me.
3: Do you often buy bottled water? Sadly, yes.
4: When you were growing up, did your home have a well, or a "city water" supply? City water when we had our house in the burbs. And, no surprise, city water in our co-op complex with its over 2,500 apartments. That would have been tough on a well.
5: Do you drink enough water each day? Absolutely.
Restaurants in Europe are much more likely to offer bottled water first.
Delete1. It did have a plastic taste.
ReplyDelete2. About every three months I buy a plastic bottle of still water and use it as my water bottle filled with tap water for about three months. If I have my backpack with me, or I am using the car, I take the bottle with me.
3. Once every three months.
4. Our house had a well, filled by pumping water up from a dam. The water then went through a pressure system and was used for bathing and clothes washing. The kitchen sink water came from rainfall collection tanks and arrived by gravity.
5. Probably not. I used to to drink much more when I was working, but being cool at home in the hot weather, I don't feel the need. I drink maybe a litre a day. Is that two pints?
I often refill plastic water bottles when I am traveling.
Delete"Is that two pints?" That should be right; a litre is nearly the same as a quart, and a quart has 2 pints. We won't get into the British pint being larger than the American pint, or how this all relates to the imperial gallon. The US desperately needs to bite the bullet and go metric.
Delete1. I did. Not as my main means of hydration.
ReplyDelete2. It's normally for the dog.
3. I really don't. Not often.
4. As a lad, we too had a well. Now it's city water.
5. Yes. It was for a while, that I was drinking far more than the RDA. Cutting back let's me sleep through the night without getting up.
Always have to keep Shep well hydrated.
Delete1: Did you grow up drinking from a garden hose when outside? All the time!
ReplyDelete2: Do you leave home without a massive water bottle? Nope. Just a normal sized bottle.
3: Do you often buy bottled water? Never.
4: When you were growing up, did your home have a well, or a "city water" supply? City water; we actually have a well in the yard now, but it's just for watering the lawn etc. The house uses Camden City Water!
5: Do you drink enough water each day? Yes, I think I do. It's the first liquid in the morning and the last liquid at night, too.
My parent's house in Florida had a shallow well for watering the lawn.
Delete1. Drinking from garden hose? No. We didn't have one.
ReplyDelete2. Yes, I don't carry one of those massive water bottles.
3. I almost never buy bottled water unless I am traveling.
4. We had a well, so I drank well water until I was 18 and went to university in a city. It took me a long, long time to adjust to the taste of city water.
5. No, I'm trying to drink more water every day because coffee is dehydrating. Which reminds me, I should get some water right now.
Coffee in the morning, water the rest of the day, or it inferes with the afternoon naps.
Delete1: Did you grow up drinking from a garden hose when outside? No, I don't think I ever did that.
ReplyDelete2: Do you leave home without a massive water bottle? I have a small covered container filled with water that I carry most places. If you live in the desert you make sure you have some water with you. However, I don't carry one of those huge water bottles.
3: Do you often buy bottled water? Not often.
4: When you were growing up, did your home have a well, or a "city water" supply? City water.
5: Do you drink enough water each day? My doctor keeps telling me that I don't but I feel like I get enough.
That is such a dry climate.
Delete1. yes
ReplyDelete2. no
3. no (but I do buy seltzer water when I want something fizzy, I don't drink soda)
4. city water
5. yes
I very seldom drink anything fizzy anymore.
Delete1: Did you grow up drinking from a garden hose when outside? Occasionaly
ReplyDelete2: Do you leave home without a massive water bottle? 20 oz - fits in the car cup holder. Anything larger means that you're going camping.
3: Do you often buy bottled water? No
4: When you were growing up, did your home have a well, or a "city water" supply? City water/water district water(district's well)
5: Do you drink enough water each day? Possibly not.

The biggest bottle of the day
Delete1: Did you grow up drinking from a garden hose when outside? yes, one of the joys of summer.
ReplyDelete2: Do you leave home without a massive water bottle? I do not use one in general; I have a large cup but I am OK with the water fountain.
3: Do you often buy bottled water? no, I fear it is a scam; tap water is OK for me.
4: When you were growing up, did your home have a well, or a "city water" supply?
5: Do you drink enough water each day? I think I do, watching for the pale lemonade sign.
avoid the mustard color if possible.
Delete1: Did you grow up drinking from a garden hose when outside? No I did not. I came back in the house and used the kitchen tap (American: faucet)
ReplyDelete2: Do you leave home without a massive water bottle? If heading out for a long walk I take a medium-sized steel flask filled with Adam's ale.
3: Do you often buy bottled water? Never. It is a rip off where ever you buy it.
4: When you were growing up, did your home have a well, or a "city water" supply? We had piped water from the local water treatment plant. It can't have been city water because we lived in a village.
5: Do you drink enough water each day? Probably not. I should make myself drink more.
