Taking enough drinking water is something I think about carefully when planning a walking or cycling trip. On a bike ride in summer, I might take 2 liters of diluted sports drink, and I'd still need to buy more halfway.</p>\n<p>Getting water with your food is a challenge when going out to dinner, because Dutch restaurants want to make you pay for a small glass of mineral water. For that reason, I often order beer, while I'd prefer wine if there was free water.</p>\n<p>As a child in the 1970s, I'd go and play outside for hours without worrying about being thirsty. I didn't drink anything at primary school; I had a glass of milk or some other dairy drink when I went home for lunch; after school, there was tea and cookies. It was a simpler time, when soft drinks and mineral water were considered luxuries and energy drinks didn't even exist yet. At our secondary school, you could get a small plastic glass of lemonade for 10 cents, paying by having a hole punched in a cardboard card.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"pk2yxz75q","appParentAuthor":"prechyrukky","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
