Another site that explains the benefits of drinking lots of water...

I don't even understand why snopes would call the benefits of drinking lots of water a myth. A couple days ago in Winnipeg, I saw someone pass out right before my eyes because he didn't drink enough water. Sure you don't have to drink 20 glasses per day, but constantly sipping water throughout the WHOLE day will help. Especially in the hot weather. And frankly...I really don't give a shat what snopes calls a myth; I know drinking a lot of water has helped me lose weight...and I will continue to do so.
In other words....instead of eating something, I take a glass of water, put a lemon into it, and sip for a while, and my hunger disappears. And I'm sure anyone who has gone down the road of losing weight can also say that drinking water is VERY important.
