That's what I've been told as well. CL must have drunk more than that then?

not necessarily, if it's pure water then you have higher chance of water intoxication, if it has salts in it (ie orange cordial) then you are replacing in the blood what the pure water cannot

if you drank six pints of water straight off you could make yourself ill, but spread over time with food as well 15 litres should not be an issue - apart from lots of time in the bog!

Some of the water I drink is from the tap, the rest is bottled spring water (no advertising products here) either still or carbonated - burp!!

[diplodocus]

urg, litres of carbonated water, how much acid!! i feel for your teeth lol

[jj]

..and all that emitted gas......

[diplodocus]

lol, wonder if trumpton gets charged the carbon tax with all those emissions

[Trumpton]

Guilty to emitting gas. Toothy pegs fine tho'!

[jj]

ALL bottled water except locally-sourced [say 15-mile radius or less]
should be banned.

[diplodocus]

can't disagree with that,
i'm amazed it is so popular, not sure how much a bottle is, a quid maybe, compared to getting an bottle of pop and going to the tap, about 0.5p

the best blag of all was that Desani nonsense coke made - are people really that mental!

Yeah, I've never fell for that shite!

The bottled spring water I buy costs about 70p per litre.
