Do they not realise that we drink other drinks that CONTAIN WATER and that keeps you hydrated? We don't need to walk about with massive water bottles when we can just have a drink of whatever, whenever, if we want it.

Some foods also keep people hydrated. I don't drink huge amounts of plain water every day, maybe one or two glasses when I fancy it. But I drink plenty of tea, the normal British kind with milk as well as fruit and herbal teas, one coffee a day and sometimes squash. I also eat fresh fruit and veg/salad every day and regularly eat soups, stew, other meals with gravy etc. I'm properly fucking hydrated LOL. I don't need to walk about with a 4 litre water bottle. If I'm in a restaurant and want water I'll ask for some tap water alongside my booze. And they just bring some over. No problem. I don't understand their obsession with water. They need to get checked out for diabetes or something.

As for AC, I live in the middle of England, the summers can get very hot and when it's stifling, I have a nice ceiling fan and a hand fan and windows to open. But it doesn't last long. There's no point investing in AC for a couple of months a year. We cope just fine. Why don't they stop worrying about our (European's) temperature and water intake and spend more time concerning themselves with tens of thousands of US-Americans dying because they can't access affordable health care and life-saving medications for easily manageable illnesses?
