I've recently begun drinking a concoction of a teaspoon or two of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water. I figure it won't hurt me; might help some things--if nothing else, it's making me drink a glass of water quickly 2-3 times a day, which I know is good for me.
The ACV is very acidic, of course. "They" say you should drink it with a straw to minimize teeth damage. Also don't brush your teeth for 30 minutes afterward, try to rinse your teeth (I usually take my 30oz Yeti filled with ice water, and swish around some water in my mouth around my teeth and swallow), etc.
Anyway, one thing I've noticed--I drink the glass a lot faster with the straw than without the straw. I did not expect that. I don't know what the physics are, but apparently my sip-gulp technique of drinking without a straw just doesn't consume as large of a quantity of liquid as my suck through the straw technique.
I want to drink more water. The kids got me a 30oz Yeti for Father's Day, and I fill it with ice and drink water in it, and sometimes do better than others at refilling, etc., so I know I'm drinking water, but I think I'm going to try with straws.
I bought some metal straws with a cleaning brush tonight from Amazon. I'm not sure how I'll feel with the steel straws. Any of you use these? I bought a set of 4 that were cheap ($7.99, I think), with 1200+ reviews, 4.8/5, so evidently some like it. I really didn't think I would. I may not anyway, but I want to give them a try. Will they be better or worse than the disposable plastic straws?
I ONLY drink water out of my Yeti; nothing else, so I'm not as concerned about some sticky, gooey sugary concoction in it. Just water.
Does this win the award for most boring thread ever? :)
