liquid refreshments

Round 16
Like the ideas in this round. "A Happiness Project"...what a brilliant idea. Hope we can get something like this going in every branch. What do you guys think?

Now liquid.
I was on vacation in OC Maryland and my friends and I were discussing the pros and cons of water. At the condo was some kind of health magazine that had a article on water and why we need to drink so much. Unfortunately I forgot the magazine and so that article is mute but found another one. Bottom line--yes we need liquid refreshments and water, water is the best.
Water makes up at least 50% of our bodies, regulates, temp, helps our breathing, carrying away waste etc. AND it does help with weight loss. The more hydrated you are, the quicker your metabolism works.. Water helps with the curbing of cravings. So let us all drink water and other liquids also.

Now for the other liquids....From the Amer Journal of Clinical Nutrition, I found an articles on danger drinks. Briefly here they are:
Soda instead drink seltzer or carbonated water
Fancy coffees instead drink plain coffee (black is the best) need cream or sugar use sparingly
Alcohol light beer dry wine or even better soda water with a a splash of juice
Milkshakes drink a smoothie instead
Whole milk Skim or low-fat
Sweet tea unsweetened or lightly
Juice drinks make sure it is 100% fruit juice
Hunger can be mistaken for thirst and the best resolution is WATER.
