To my knowledge, my grandad reached the ripe old age of 95 without ever touching a glass of water. unless he was nipping off to secretly glug pint after pint of h2o in the garden shed, all i saw him drinking were countless cups of builder’s tea (3 sugars in each) and a steaming hot mug of cocoa every evening before bed.
on long car trips he probably did get a bit dry, because without doubt a plastic water bottle never touched his lips. in fact, when i was sorting through his possessions, the closest bottle-like object that i came to was a dusty old flask made in 1964 – minus its lid.
today i sit back sometimes and think what my grandad and his pals would make of the obsession many of us have developed around the subject of something as simple as water.
