My Boyfriend Doesn’t Drink Water, Only Sodas and Juices. Problem?
Like I mentioned in the title, my boyfriend doesn’t drink any water, ever. He probably goes on for months without water drinking a drop of water. He drinks soda(not diet), cranberry juice, orange juice and iced tea(snapple, arizona) regularly. He doesn’t believe it will have any adverse effects on his health, because he sees drinking other liquids of common branded orange/cranberry juice and sodas as meeting the daily requirements of drinking water. With the kind of dependence our body has on water, I just fear he will end up with a LOT of health problems later on that stem from this issue.
Because he IS drinking other liquids, I was just wondering how seriously I should try to get him to drink water specifically? Is drinking other liquids besides water really enough like he thinks? If not, what are some things likely to go wrong in the longterm? Lastly, since he hates drinking water, what is the minimum amount of water he must drink, in addition to the other liquids?
I made it 30 years without drinking hardly any water. When working 10 years in hot kitchens would drink 6-8 liters of regular soda only. I have never had any severe dehydration. As noted earlier, you will get all the fluids you need from soda, tea, juices, etc…it doesn’t have to be pure water. Caffeine will cause you to dehydrate some, but not enough to be concerned about with all the other fluids going on. The big thing is, as noted before, the calories from all the high glycemic indexed drinks. Soda is, of course, high in sugar and juices are refined fiberless pure sugar for the most part. Soooo, as a young man, he may not have problems with his weight….however if he is getting overweight then the he does have a health concern with the practice, but its not one centered around dehydration…but that of increasing obesity which causes all kinds of problems. Most men will have a metabolism change in their 20/30s that will wake them up to the need to cut down on all the sugar and start considering natural calorie free water.
