Actually, I drink about a gallon of water every day and I've run multiple marathons. I just don't see the need to heat it up or mix it with tea and then discuss it for no reason on an open forum like a tool. Try being on here for longer than a few months before you start posting dumb shit and telling people to smarten the fuck up, especially after you refer to American as a race.

Hey faggot, if you've got a problem with the red white and blue then get the fuck off a forum all about getting jobs with America (and the world's) most prestigious banks.

I'm sure if drinking fair trade organic water gets you all flustered then you can find a forum for that shit.

Finding your thread boring as hell =/= being proud of having a population considered to most as fat or only being concerned with prestige/HBS.

But honestly, who the fuck drinks hot water?

First of all, coffee, orange juice, etc all have water in them. In fact, coffee has something like 95% water, and OJ is like 88% water.

Second of all, you were bound to get flamed for this post, no matter the intent, and you should have known that. If you can't just roll with the punches, you're going to get shit on a lot more.

Third, and most importantly:

This guy may be a dick, socially awkward, or whatever, but he is right.

Most people in general forget to drink water throughout the day, and it really is important. It helps curb hunger, keeps you awake and aware, and, obviously, you need it to live. While this topic may be random/boring, he makes a good point. Think about your water intake, it's important.

Drinking too much water can fuck up your electrolyte levels. That's why some marathon runners drink a ton of water and end up with a myocardial infarc. Just thought I'd throw that out there for the people in this thread who drink a gallon a day.

I hope you spill a glass of scalding water on your black suit while reconciling someone else's trades.
