[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The answer is: because UMC people no longer sip soda as they did in the past. [/b] Soda machines used to be everywhere. Cans of soda were cheap and machines were plentiful. Now we are anti-sugar and drink water instead. Also, because public infrastructure has crumbled and maintenance of public water fountains, if they exist at all, is sketchy. We are more germ-aware than ever before. Even if you can find a decent water fountain many people don't want to drink from it. Also, we have extended fitness culture into popular culture--water bottles are like leggings--once seen only in the gym they have migrated everywhere. Also, it might not just be water in the bottle. I sneak wine into places you wouldn't normally find it.[/quote] What? Before the early 2000s, people didn’t have a constant need to drink all day long. It wasn’t that they were chronically dehydrated and they definitely weren’t walking around drinking soda as a substitute all the time. We drank water during meals, an occasional glass of water/milk at home outside of meals, and a cup of coffee at work in the am. [/quote] I had my first kid in 2001 and started guzzling water then. Breastfeeding made me so thirty and I never stopped. [b]I actually think people WERE chronically dehydrated and didn’t know it.[/b] [/quote] You think for thousands of years people were chronically dehydrated? And that citizens of every other country but the US are still chronically dehydrated? Yet, civilization has managed to always make it to adulthood and often old age being chronically dehydrated?
