It is difficult to think there is such a thing as too much water, but there is when it comes to drinking it. (Courtesy photo)

It is difficult to think there is such a thing as too much water, but there is when it comes to drinking it. (Courtesy photo)
I am not a believer of the old eight glasses of water a day theory. I don’t drink soda or energy drinks. I drink coffee, water, and the occasional adult beverage, man’s best friend. Basically, I drink water when I am thirsty, not because I need extra trips to the sandbox.
My wife of many years follows the “drink ‘til you float” school of thought. She places a mug of water on the counter so that every time I pass, I am to drink some. I will walk by, stop, and pour half the mug out, and continue walking. She is happy that the mug is going down, and I am happy I don’t have to run to the outhouse every 30 minutes. Marital bliss established.
