Drinking water

Does drinking squash give the same effect as water? I have a 2l bottle with squash in and find it is much easier to drink that if I filled it with just water. Thanks.

If you mean does it still count towards your 2 litres a day or whatever it is, then yes.

Obviously there are the negative effects of the acids in the squash compared to water alone. :wink:

But it is going to be better than drinking coke or nothing?

I do drink water. The water just tastes a little different in this bottle.

In think they mean that theres an after taste of squash in the bottle. Why not try using a big water bottle instead cos squash will leave an after taste.

mmmh?? i do remember reading somewhere that it is actually unhealty for people to use the same drinking bottle over and over again, given that it is a disposable one....

If squash is the same as juice - you shouldn't drink 2l of juice each day. :confused:

Mixing it with water should be fine I suppose.
They also have fruit flavoured water btw. Bit more expensive and not all that great imo.
Or vitamin C tablets you can put in...

Try drinking fruit tea, that gives you your daily intake of water but doesn't include the suger etc of squash. Obviously it might be hard to put fruit tea into a bottle, but it can be drank hot or cold. A lemon fruit tea is good to drink cold.

That sounds so unbelieveably grim.

Agreed. Cold tea = yuck.

And try Barley water isntead of squash... Its great as its about 1/4 the calories, and it stops me having to drink the liquid metallic sludge that is tap water.

drinking pure water is obviously better for you seeing as though it doesn't have sugar or any colours in it, but if you find it hard to drink water then it's a good idea, the weaker the better too!

Squash is fine, its certainly counts towards your daily water intake.
- Yes there is the flavouring and sweetening etc, but its not that much.
- I drink mainly water purely down the personal choice, and lazyness, but its fine to drink squash instead.

Eather is MILES better than coke. Drink whichever you prefre if you ask me.

I dont understand all these people who go on about all this crap.
- Its like a lunch today, the girls where discussing which is "heathier" Chicken or Samon, then they eat it with a huge pile of horrably greasey chips :s-smilie:

!!
- Its reduculas, there both great things to eat, and you just have the one you like the taste fo better, then eat it with potatoes not chips!
- We even had a Pasta Vs Spegetti disccsuion a few w/ends ago!! ITS THE SAME!!!!

I don't mean to be rude, it's just out of curiosity, but are you dyslexic?
