Hi Paula,

We buy bottled water from time to time, but we get the majority of our drinking water from a filtered tap. I’ve read things about bottled water as well, but I don’t know how much is truth and how much is hype. I don’t typically drink bottled water if it has had a chance to get really hot in the bottles, for instance, if it sat in my car for a day.

I like to keep a super large glass of water in the frig so it is always cold for me through out the day and meals.I keep it refilled and it is ready for me. I live in south central Texas and our days average 95-100 degrees plus all summer. We can dehydrate rapidly.
I am unsure about what I have read about the water in the plastic bottles. I have read that their has been chemicals that leach into the water that may be harmful. Besides I am frugal about buying bottled water. Any comments?

In reply to Sue DiFiore. Let me know if you come across any recipes that you like! And....How do you make homemade Gatorade?

We started making homemade gatorade, but I’m going to try the infusion glasses as we brought some back from FL

I agree with you — lukewarm water is just not my favorite. I may be imagining it, but I think temperature really does affect taste!

And wow, that’s very interesting that chewing on ice relates to an iron deficiency. I also take a supplement, but love ice — now I know why!

In reply to Sarah Elizabeth || SEDiva Abroad. Considering my VERY frugal nature, I think I would have done the same thing and rationed water if I had to buy it all the time...which of course, wouldn't have been good! Is this something that happens in all of Ireland or just your area?

What a great post! I am notorious for not getting enough water a day and I really do think it makes a huge difference on my energy levels! I hate feeling tired, so I will most defiantly take some of your tips into consideration.

I tend to drink more when there is a straw in the glass so I always keep a supply handy.

I don’t drink enough water. I don’t have the ability to constantly refill at my job and if the water is not ice cold I can’t drink it. For some reason it makes me queasy when it’s not super cold! Also, I began really chewing on ice when I became pregnant with my second child. When I mentioned it to my gyn she had my iron tested. If you CRAVE chewing on ice, you could have low iron. I take a hefty supplement but I still feel like I must chew on ice and it’s really the only way I stay properly hydrated!
