For those wanting to add vinegar to their drinks, try a shrub like this rhubarb one , or Haymaker's Punch.

I don't know anything about hydration. I only know that if I ain't thinking about it I drink a lot more beer than I should.

so:

In my kegerator I keep one Cornie keg of beer or hard cider, and one of water with a bit of lemon. Turn the CO2 pressure up for a few days and that lemon water is roughly equivalent to store bought stuff, such as La Croix®.

I’ve never really cared for flavored water, but I’ve found warm water is easier for me to drink more of, simple whole milk is a great way to fight dehydration with the fats, vitamins, and minerals in it.

I do the same thing except with whiskey. When the ice cubes melt, then I am getting my water. It is almost like a chaser.


I have nothing clever to put here.

I don't generally measure. Just put in as much sweetener as wanted, or as little. 1 teaspoon good salt, or thereabouts. Three or so tablespoons ACV. Mix well.

Keep chilled and have as much as you want. It is very good especially on hot days.



Thanks for that!

And of course pickle juice is just a little salt and vinegar.

I’m three weeks now without anything carbonated…specifically Mountain Dews, lol. I’ve cut back portions and laid off the sweets as well. Eat very little bread too.
Headaches were persistent the first week or so, then I was back to normal. It’s crazy how eating mostly right can change feelings and you body.
We go through a case of water every few days, lol. At first it just didn’t taste right and now that’s all we drink.

Switchel is the name of a water, ACV, honey mix that was delivered to the guys cutting hay with scythes way back to cut thirst better than water alone. As a bonus, though they probably didn't know then, it also provides electrolytes to combat the heavy sweating they must of had.

I bring a water, ACV mix on the boat to cut thirst when crabbing in the summer heat.

Why don't you simply drink real, genuine, thirst quenching water

instead of that manufactured, bottled, phony liquid that is NOT water ?

A week ago I started chugging a quart of water in the morning shortly after waking. I don’t recommend it.

That combo right there is among the most perfect electrolyte hydrating drinks. Water alone, on a hot day, too much, will drain the body's electrolyte content . leaving one feeling sick and weak. Just a few added ingredients into some nice water makes the perfect hydrating drink that also adds the needed electrolytes that are vital to the whole body's health. A little sweetener, such as maple syrup, honey, agave nectar, or even a little real cane sugar tops off that drink in all needed ingredients.

I get my dose of Agave nectar,,out of a Tequila bottle.

Our neighbor was German and his wife made Switchel when we helped them hay. We ate like kings when she cooked.

I assume that stuff is sweet (even if it's not real sugar). You also mentioned drinking pop and juice. My suggestion.....give up all sweet drinks for 2 weeks. No liquid sugar. Give your taste buds two weeks to change, and you'll have no problem drinking plenty of plain cold water. It'll be hard the first few days with cravings for something sugary, but once you get used to it, sugary beverages will taste sickly sweet.

There isn’t any sugar in Hint. No calories or anything artificial. If it keeps me from drinking pop, it’s working. The best part is, I refill it with regular water because I can still smell the fruit essence on the inside of the bottle .
