A couple of weeks ago, I sent out a Plurk asking people how much water you’re supposed to drink on a daily basis, and whether anyone got that much.
The general consensus confirmed what I thought – You’re supposed to drink eight glasses of water a day, and nobody did. So I thought I’d conduct a little experiment over the February half term, to see if I could rise to the challenge, so to speak. John called it the Water Challenge, so I’ve adopted such a name. 
Day one was like "Yeah, lets do dis tang!" and got through eight glasses no problem. Okay, so I felt a little bad for downing the last 3 glasses before I went to sleep, but it was fine.
Come day four and I was feeling it. This was Tuesday, also Humans vs. Zombies day. Fortunately, wise to the fact that it made me need the toilet every forty five minutes, I didn’t have loads of water in the morning. Just the three glasses. Still made me almost burst though. Urgh. Surely drinking this much water is bad for you…
Then I just suffered through it until Friday, day seven, and was happy that it was finally over. No more excessive trips to the toilet. Ahh.
So, did it make any difference? You would’ve though it would have gotten rid of toxins and such out of my body, or something. Truth be told, it did nothing. I didn’t feel different at all. If anything, the constant need for the loo was a bad thing.
I made this somewhat pretty 12second video, featuring sounds from the rather epic ‘Alice‘ by Pogo.

But I hit a problem. Today I found new research says that males need 3.7 litres of water a day, not the 2 litres I’ve been doing. Curses. But they said this now includes water from all sources and, to be fair, I am a bit of a teabag…
