Candy, I'm with you! Never have been much of a water drinker even when I was growing up in the desert. There have been times when a couple swallows of beer have done the trick for me. Nothing else will cut that nasty tasting film in your mouth when it gets really hot or you've been outdoors for too long.

When I discovered that I have kidney problems, my dr told me to watch how much I drink; to cut down on fluid intake.
Hubby NEVER drinks water. It's always tea or coffee, sometimes Coke. His dr had him keeping track of how often he went pee and he goes just about every hour on the hour. Yeah, he's got prostrate problems but I swear! He spends more time in the bathroom than anywhere else! Poor baby can't get a decent night's sleep.
