On Friday Fives on Hydration
Dec. 11th, 2019 03:44 pmHydration!
Have you hydrated appropriately?
I doubt it, I'm a man, looking after ourselves by eg drinking water is frowned on by society. it's why we die young. That and suicide but mostly the water.
No, but seriously folks, I am not great at drinking water when I'm at work so I am often a bit thirsty.
What are your feelings on fizzy water (LaCroix and similar)?
Other than a crazed lust that borders on an unhealthy obsession for bubbly water I don't have strong feelings. Not that I'd admit to in public.
I actually much prefer fizzy water to still. There is something about the mouthfeel that I find pleasing. I think it's because I am used to still water being cold. Cold either from the fridge in Australia or cold from the tap linked to the River Dee meltwater in Aberdeen. So I tend to drink fizzy water. Until recently this was own-brand sparkling water but we recently bought a sodastream machine to reduce the number of two-liter plastic bottle we were recycling or "recycling".
I have never much gone for branded water, although when we are in Catalonia I do like the Vichey Catalan brand of mineral water - it has minerals in it.
Is there a particular holiday-associated beverage you like?
Vodka, strong associated with Lithmas (Lithuanian Christmas). Nothing says Christmas like herring and ice-cold vodka.
Do you have a fancy coffee or tea order? (possibly only for special occasions?)
I like my coffee like my women - in a mug.
Do you only drink hot beverages when it is cold outside? Why or why not?
I live in Scotland. It always cold outside. No preference, will drink tea or coffee in a hot summer of a cold winter.
I tend to avoid lager during the winter in favour of warm bitter.
