14 Problems That Can't Be Fixed By Drinking Water

We all know that consistently drinking water is one of the healthiest things you can do for your body. Water has been known to help cure headaches, chapped lips, and even kidney stones! While simply drinking water is one of the most commonly prescribed “medications” for many health and beauty issues, it’s important to note that some issues that are most commonly misconceived to be solvable by drinking water alone.

1. Acne

While drinking water definitely helps to moisturize the skin, there is no direct correlation of water curing acne on its own.

2. Wrinkles

This is a related and commonly believed myth. Again, while water is good for your skin, it cannot reverse already-present wrinkles.

3. Hair length

It’s a common misconception that water will make your hair grow faster. I’m here to tell you that’s a myth.

4. Paper cuts

You read that right! Water will not speed up the healing of a paper cut. You’ll just have to wait his one out and let it heal itself.

5. Eye color

Blue eyes are one of the most sought-after beauty staples, but drinking water will not turn your brown eyes blue.

6. Height

That’s just up to your DNA.

7. Broken bones

Please see a doctor!

8. Bra size

Sorry, that’s just 100% not where the water goes.

9. An STD

Sorry, bud. This is going to warrant a trip to the doctor as well.

10. GPA

While it’s true that drinking water can help you focus when studying, it’s not going to raise your GPA overnight.

11. Existential crises

Maybe try meditation? Or therapy?

12. Daddy issues

Therapy for sure.

13. Your relationship status

Unless you plan on running into your soulmate at the water fountain, I would suggest a different method.

14. Frequent urination

I hate to tell you that it’s only going to get worse.

Go forth and hydrate responsibly.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
