I drink a lot of water. I don't drink soda, no caffeine, so I splurge and drink the bubbly mineral water or seltzer. British tapwater doesn't scare me, except for the spring when it smells like worms (at least it did where I was!).
I know it is really good for us. It helps us feel full (good for weight loss), and it replaces the huge amount of water that we lose every day (OK so I sweat like a hog!). I find that salt and msg make me retain water in an uncomfortable way.
The only downside I have heard about water is if you really drink too much you can upset your electrolyte balance.
