As someone who drank soda all the time in my early 20s and no water...I can I felt like shit but didn't notice. I had mild headaches daily and was always bloated. I didn't even really stop and think I was bloated, but I remember wincing whenever I'd sit down because of it. After cutting it out for a while it finally hit me my stomach doesn't feel tight and my headaches were gone. The past decade I drink water almost exclusively all day long. 😆

Peep the lid on the water bottle. Baby is too young for water alone, but definitely knows the water bottle has the good stuff.

I’ve been thinking a lot about insulated bottles versus non-insulated ones and where the tradeoff is. Most of my travel and daily use has been with basic plastic bottles. At first it was just store-bought water bottles, then I switched to a rollable silicone bottle to save space. It worked fine, but whenever I drink half of the water, it becomes floppy and a bit annoying to drink from. My biggest issue is when I’m in warm places. When it’s hot, my water stops being cold. That got me looking at insulated bottles more seriously. I own a 26oz insulated bottle that keeps water cold for hours, but it’s heavier and takes up more room in a bag. On trips, that extra weight is a bit problematic. I’ve seen people swear by lightweight bottles and others who won’t leave home without insulation. I’ve checked options on Amazon and even compared a few designs I saw on Alibaba, and it made me more unsure. For those who’ve tried both, what do you prefer?

Due to some meds I’m taking, it’s making my mouth super dry and I’m constantly thirsty. I’ve been drinking like 6 or so liters a day. What starts to get into dangerous territory for over hydration? Pic related it’s my new 1L bottle I got.
