It’s never made sense to me that some people refuse to drink water even if they know it keeps you functioning properly. The same people will complain of constipation or dry skin but don’t want to do the thing that fixes their issues.

    I grew up on well water that smelled like sulfur and was sometimes unsafe to drink.

    The water fountains at school were HEAVILY chlorinated.

    Water just wasn’t really an option growing up or if it was you had to mask the taste with Koolaid or something.

    I don’t crave it. I’m not in the habit of drinking plain water. I have a zero water system now and I drink it a lot more but some people either have an access issue or never developed the habit due to similar factors as me.

      This is funny, considering how many people in the world survive on muddy water they had to walk miles to collect in a bucket.
