I get that the sugary drinks consumption in the USA is through the roof. But this kind of hedonism is just on another level.
- Dgetman 6y agoCould you clarify what you mean?
- albertgoeswoof 6y agoIt’s absolutely ludicrous to find water so bland you can’t drink it. Especially if you’re overweight.
- Dgetman 6y agoI understand what you mean. It can't be neglected though that obesity actually changes your brain chemistry (I was a neuroscience major and read a lot about this). It's also important to note that behavior is motivated by reward. Staying hydrated is important and it is so much easier when that beverage is sweetened. While tasteless water may not be a big deal, creating a sugar free lemonade I'm sure would definitely increase how much water you drank each day.
- monadic3 6y agoDo you not like drinking water? It's already a pretty hedonistic activity. In fact, I'd argue it's way less pleasurable to drink things other than water when you wake up parched at 2am. Nothing else in the world tastes that good.
- BenjiWiebe 6y agoI find it very difficult to stay hydrated with plain water. Even unsweetened tea is much easier for me to drink, and I can drink lots of it's at least lightly sweetened. And it doesn't help that our rural water has a faint bad taste.
