Nothing beats the taste and feeling of drinking an ice cold glass of water on a warm day. As humans, we all know that it is recommended that we drink around 8 glasses of water a day. We drink so many fluids on a daily basis that the act of drinking itself is almost second nature to us; we don’t think about how we’re doing it.
