Drinking water is as addictive as breathing air.

Coffee is dumb. Drink tea!

Dihydrogen monoxide kills thousands, if not millions, every year.

Someone introduce a bill to ban it. ASAP!

With facts like those, who wouldn't want to ban it.

Yes! That's the right thinking! Luckily for all of us, there is already a Dihydrogen Monoxide research division aiming to raise public awareness of this danger.

I just downed two bottles of vitamin water and I'm STILL thirsty. There might be something to this addiction stuff (or I'm just sick and trying to stay hydrated)

I know a guy here at my school who is very addicted to coffee. He's an employee and he drinks cup after cup after cup of dark roast coffee from our Café. It's amazing how much he drinks. Scary too. I wonder what his days would be like without his caffeine.

I drink cappuccino every now and then, but only rarely on days when I'm particularly tired in the morning. Once I had an eye opener 'cause I had no sleep the night before but that was gross. I tend to drink tea. I hardly drink pop at all anymore. But I drink about 5 bottles of water a day.

I'd define water as more of a requirement for life. You can't live without it.

I'd define addictive as something you can live without, but you are self-compelled to continue using.
Genius. You know who.

Anything can become addictive if taken in excess, also can end up being toxic.

"Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense." Winston Churchill

Addictive? No. Toxic? Yes.

I think the way you feel after drinking lots of water is addictive. You feel clean and more refreshed after you hit the bathroom 10 times a day and clean out your system.

Don't forget, it's also a major component of caffeine drinks. Perhaps there is some industry coverup. Just what is Mr. Juan Valdez carrying in those donkey sacks? (da, da, dannnnn)

I don't. It's annoying to have to pee all the time. It's a little better than not going, but not actually good, IMO.

yeah, i agree. Nothing like one good long pee after holding out, like in many things its the quality not the quantity.
