Well it makes sense that it's a learned behavior, it wouldn't have been possible to drink anything besides muddy water most of the time throughout evolution.

If you had even "clean" water back then, that would've been like champagne

My dad won't drink straight water unless its literally his only option. The main thing he drinks is sugar-free flavored water with that flavor powder stuff. I love water though, one of my favorite drinks.

I drink almost no sugary beverages but still almost never water.

Guy 1 said,  I am thinking about switching to water, I heard that it can help me lose weight.

Guy 2 replied, That's ridiculous, water taste terrible.


So do both these people not drink ANY-water ? Are there lots of anti-water people like this ?

I am like this. I never drink water.

In the morning I drink one half litre of 0% sugar squash and a cup of hot chocolate, for lunch a litre of milk, and in the evening another litre and a half. The rest is tea, generally around 3 litres. Of course  beer (generally 2-4 litres) on some days, or other alcoholic drinks (cocktails, spirits, etc.)

I simply don't see the point of drinking water. It has NO FLAVOUR. Why not drink something that has actual flavour, even if it's almost all water?

It boggles my mind that literally EVERY SINGLE co-worker in my building has a water bottle on their desk that they use so they can drink the stuff all day long. It's so basic to them, it might as well be a leg or something. Absolutely cannot comprehend this.

People who say water has no flavor have no taste buds.
