Ok, weird question.  I occasionally drink bottled water (my office provided
it, as well as osmosis filtered) and I noticed that it seems to taste "salty".
It's Arrowhead, which is headquartered (not sure if bottled) in Greenwich,
CT.  So for those of you who do drink bottled water, have you ever noticed
that before?  And what kind of bottled water do you drink?

Liquid measure is different than weight measure.

re #2 sixteen ounces is still a pound.  When you pick up that gallon of milk
at the store, you are holding something that weighs eight pounds, plus the
weight of the plastic container.

Anything that is mostly water (read: any drinkable liquid) follows "a pint's a
pound the world around."

My favorite bottled water is evian. It has a bit of a mineral taste that
I find refreshing. Otherwise, I am pretty happy drinking the water from
Lake St Claire that gets piped into my house although I find that
sometimes tastes a bit like chlorine. When I was a kid, my grandparent's
house had this really good tasting well water. It tasted like iron a
little. I liked that but everyone else in my family hated it. Go figure.


I find that I like the filtered water from the water machine at work a
lot. It tastes a little like evian but without the frech pretentioness
which is delicious!

re 3:  I completely disagree with you.

I drink roughly 75-80 oz of water a day, but don't drink much of 
anything else.  Occassional tea or soda.

 Valtin thinks the notion may have started when the Food and Nutrition
Board of the National Research Council recommended approximately "1
milliliter of water for each calorie of food," which would amount to
roughly two to two-and-a-half quarts per day (64 to 80 ounces). Although
in its next sentence, the Board stated "most of this quantity is
contained in prepared foods," that last sentence may have been missed,
so that the recommendation was erroneously interpreted as how much water
one should drink each day.

He found no scientific studies in support of 8 x 8. Rather, surveys of
fluid intake on healthy adults of both genders, published as
peer-reviewed documents, strongly suggest that such large amounts are
not needed. His conclusion is supported by published studies showing
that caffeinated drinks, such as most coffee, tea and soft drinks, may
indeed be counted toward the daily total. He also points to the quantity
of published experiments that attest to the capability of the human body
for maintaining proper water balance.

Isnt that funny. I easily drink eight glasses of water per day. Well,
considering that a "glass" is eight ozs. My cups at home vary in size
but most of them are 16 ounces. Just in the time between when I get home
from work and when I go to bed, I drink at least two or three glasses of
water of that size. Then I usually get up once in the night and I drink
a glass of water. I also drink a glass when I get up and another two
glasses or so while I am working. So all in all, I drink at least 96
ounces of water a day. That is on top of other liquids I consume like
coffee and tea.

I dont think so. I have always had about that much water to drink. I
used to worry that it meant I might have diabetis so I used to use one
of those drug store blood sugar testers occasionally and my blood sugar
was always fine. But I am sure that will be one of the many things I
will be tested for at my doctor's appointment in a week and half. It
could be just that I am a larger than average person.
