11 Reasons Drinking Water Is Better Than Doing Drugs

In This Article:

We ALL know what it's like to compare our personal rebellions to what we could be doing- drugs.

1. Water + water + water = clear skin.

Admit it, when you're sipping on that water for a while, your skin is the most beautiful thing that you've ever seen. Drugs? Your face doesn't get any benefit.

2. You prevent yourself from saying anything stupid.

If you're constantly drinking that water, you don't have the opportunity to say something that you will regret, right? Doing drugs? Probably regrettable.

3. You're hydrated and not die-drated.

Drugs are dangerous. Water is not.

4. Water is legal.

I know this one was obvious... but just in case that it wasn't, it has been said. 8

5. Water is not sketchy.

You know what's inside of a perfectly good bottle of Aquafina. Drugs? Honestly, it's a mystery.

6. Water has never let you down.

Things that will let you down: men, drugs, (and possibly) fast food.

Things that will not let you down: tasty goodness of fresh WATER.

7. Water is good for your organs.

I'm not a health expert, but I can tell you that your organs LOVE water. Drink it all of the time. Make your organs happy. especially your liver, she needs a break! (if you know, you know).

8. You are eligible to get more tattoos.

Having healthy blood comes from drinking water. Healthy blood = tattoo city. And at the end of the day, getting a tattoo is way more exhilarating than doing drugs.

9. You pee constantly.

Now, I know this sounds like a downer, but if you're constantly peeing- just think of all of the things that you can get out of!

Person: Hey, can you move these heavy boxes?

You: Nope! Hydrate or diedrate! Gotta PEE for the 30th time today!

10. Water doesn't make your breath smell bad.

Enough said.

11. Water will not kill you, unless you drown.

Kind of morbid, but DRINKING water won't kill you. At least I hope not. Drugs on the other hand... you never know.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
