urmm i used to go on the computer alot and not do much but ever since i started to get back into real life activities and got into some more hobbies thats when i stopped drinking, but that was about 3 months ago. and yes i have been like this for 3 months now. i have quite serious muscle pains in my back. i always have dark circles around my eyes. im always tired and i have a bunch of other annoying affects from it but i feel fine apart from the back ache thingy.

you should make a call to the white house and talk to our president and say, " Well, I'm not thirsty, and I eat a lot at meal times, and I feel Fine but, I have a back ache, and rings under my eyes"! Do ya think Obama care can crack my back for me and maybe buy a couple of cucumber's for my eye's? haha Go For It... Digger

keep all systems running optimally. As people age, their taste buds age too, and don't fire as well as they should, hence your loss of thirst and possibly appetite for some foods. The sweetness and astringency of coke breaks through that block which is why coke is appealing.

I may be slightly wrong on the statistic but a healthy person needs between 4 and 5 pints of water a day. My solution is to buy a large bottle of Evian water, and to keep refilling it from the tap, and carry it with me. Usually thirst is a transient thing, and if water isn't immediately at hand, you ignore it. Chilled water is more enticing and satisfying than room temperature. Water is necessary for proper functioning of the kidneys, proper maintenance of blood pressure, and to keep your blood at its proper level of dilution. Blood which becomes too concentrated can be life threatening, as can a decrease in kidney function. Dehydration is a common problem in the elderly which can cause mental confusion, dizziness, falls, and worse health problems.

I would recommend a chat with a health care professional soon to confirm all this and to get authoritative advice. If you have any preferences, like Iced Tea mix, or something like that, that can help encourage you to drink more, though sweet drinks are hard on the teeth, as my dentist keeps telling me.
