I think about this too. I can drink a cup or two of water over a couple hours... unless I squeeze a little bit of lemon into it, in which case I can drink myself hyponatremic. It's the same, to an extent, with things like Diet 7-Up. If being super well hydrated is a good thing, then I guess what I get out of flavored drinks is ultrahydration?

I don't know why this is. Seltzer doesn't do it. I assumed it had something to do with sodium, but, then, the lemon works too.

This is not something that exists unless you talking about a marketing term for hair conditioner.

Sorry, I meant to say megahydration.

I think you're confusing medical terms with supplement names.

Tap water is boring, I live near a natural spring with quite sweet water, which is really pleasant to drink.

When I'm stuck with tap water, I just "chug" a few large glasses (600ml) every few hours. Makes it easier.
