Greetings, salutations and all that happy horseshit fellow ostimates, a question that hopefully some kind souls can help me with, concerning drinking all that water daily, well for the first couple of years I managed to put away the required amount, THEN, I got so damn sick of plain old water I started drinking copious amounts of iced orange juice but my doctor keeps insisting I drink lots of water. Hell I'm sure there is more water than orange juice in what I'm drinking. And so I ask you my friends for some feedback on this little problem if you can, if not, still I wish you all a good day/life. Ed
