water drinkers be like: please bro just let me bum off your water bottle... i swear im not addicted
Thing is we're not addicted to water, we're dependent upon it like how a chronic pain sufferer is dependent upon painkillers to live a normal life.
Drink (water) addiction free homies
Water does expire. If you leave it exposed to the air shit will grow in it, and even if you have it in a container you shouldn't keep it for more than 6 months (or if you do, treat it with bleach before drinking it)
Stagnant water can also become a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other pests.
If it's bottled water, the plastic degrades.
My family thinks I'm insane because I almost exclusively get bathroom sink water where I live when I get water. It's so much better than the kitchen taps.
Only problem with water is that I need to get better about actually remembering to drink enough.
Remembering to drink enough is a myth. You should drink when you want to drink and not worry about hitting some arbitrary water intake number.
I tried soda and got addicted from the first sip. It only took one bottle to hook me. Stay away from soda. Never try soda. Water is best.
I’ll be water but without the 3 ass cheeks thanks

Don't forget diet soda & aspartame consumption from mothers being linked to male autism
Males have been disproportionately affected: autism prevalence among boys is almost quadruple that among girls
That's a really fucking weird take. It's widely recognised that ASD and ADHD go massively under diagnosed in females. The fact that they don't refer to this when raising it in the introduction shows they've got an anti-naurodivergent agenda.

It's not my paper, but:
This paper is mostly good at saying we need more research here - the CIs on those odds ratios are big.
Systematic under diagnosis would increase the chances of a null result for females
Why does this imply an anti-neurodivergent agenda?
There have been a lot of questions about why autism is more prevalent now than before (is it having a label and discussing tools, envoronmental factors, etc?). We're seeing a lot of scapegoating, conspiracy theories, and misinformation about this issue. Having at least some evidence that yes environmental changes can affect ASD is important to understanding it.
