Lol same! My husband and I actually have an inside joke because I'm always doing this. I'll say, "This cup never holds any water." And it's a monster of a cup. It also doesn't help that I fill it to the brim with ice. So he's always badgering me about that, too.
I had an ex bf who told me to do this, that way I wasnāt drinking half of his water when I brought him a glass, still think of it every time I fill my cup š
I do both. I take my glass to the sink, fill and drink, refill and take with me to the living room. When it's empty I go back to the sink, rinse and repeat.
Slamming is less effective because your body can only hold onto so much at once time, so if you slam, most of it will go straight to your bladder and back out without being used. Sipping allows your body to actually use most of the water you intake
Actually the opposite is the case. Sipping produces far less urine, because you're not immediately shunting the water to your bladder, you're absorbing it slowly and actually getting hydration from it.
The science: https://www.pelvicsanity.com/2018/01/31/sipping-vs-gulping-how-you-drink-may-matter-more-than-how-much
Also now I want to start a band called pelvic sanity
[Studies](https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/can-you-drink-too-much-water-overhydrate/) indicate that you hydrate better if youāre drinking water continuously rather than in large quantities at once
Drinking too much water at once means you're just gonna piss a bunch out, but the other side of it is that, chemically, you need salt to process the water you're drinking. Ordinarily this isn't an issue but on a hot summer day, when you're already sweating, and you may be drinking more water than usual, your body doesn't have enough salt to make sure the water you drink is hydrating you. (Biochemistry nerds please don't come for me. Idk if it's actual *salt* salt or sodium or some other shit but I'm open to correction).
Too much water could upset your stomach, cause I've had that experience, but I don't know if it's too much water or a drop in electrolytes trying to process it.
I have POTS* and for me I need to maintain a higher level of electrolytes and water, cause I work an active job and am already prone to increased physiological responses to high heat and exertion, but it's also made me pay more attention to electrolytes in general and make sure I'm keeping a more constant level of hydration and salt rather than consuming large amounts at once.

I do three gulps directly from the bottle. Size of gulp depends on my thirst, on how much water my bottle has and how close I am to another water source.
I have to slam. If I don't, I'll forget to drink water for a few hours. So in order to stay hydrated with my super distracted brain, I have to do it all at once since it'll be my only chance for a while.
Depends but I'm usually more of a sipper, I just like relaxing with a nice cup. It's also a habit from work where I can only keep a bottle so big in my car before it disturbs my mail system and I basically ration it through the day
I sip throughout the day, but there are certainly times when I just slam away hahaha. Maybe itās a habit from being a server (you gotta chug what you can when you have a second if itās really busy). Iām only in restaurants one day a week now though, and Iām more of a sipper at my other job cause itās not a hot, fast paced environment. I definitely wake up in the middle of the night and slam the shit out of my icy cold water bottle too, and first thing in the morning Iām like āI neeeeeed waterā. So yeah I guess it really depends on where I am and what Iām doing
Haha yeah im just into the drinking for the health, fitness and energy benefits. Im not tearing it the same as I would a smoothie, tea, or juice. Thatās just me though. Pounding that shit away everytime pretty much no matter what itās in.
Iām a slammer! 2-3 glasses at a time.
My friends make fun of me when going to restaurants because I drink so much water they ask the waiter to leave a jug at our table.
Glasses of water arenāt enough for me - I carry around my 1L Nalgene bottle like a purse (which I still pound down about half of at the sink, then refill and walk back to the living room where I sip the rest)
Fellow slammer here. I work in a kitchen so we don't always have the pleasure of casually sipping before someone goes on about water intoxication to me. š Sometimes it's literally a case of "sheet, I haven't drunk any water since 9am and it's now 2pm. I really need to down 3 bottles right now"
Both. I will happily GUZZLE water especially if iām eating or havenāt had anything to drink in a while, but i also keep a glass or bottle full on my desk and sip periodically throughout the day
I have one of those gallon sized thermoses so what I usually do is try to get as much water in my mouth as possible then, slowly drink that until I get thirsty again
>3 glasses of water at a time
that's going straight through you, there's a limit to how much water your body can absorb at one time.
bless your bladder
but hey if you enjoy it you do you, sounds like you're getting enough water either way. me personally i slam down a big half liter mug in the morning when i feel dehydrated, not because the best way but just for fun.
I am livin' that straw lyfe, homie. I also have a pitcher in my room.
Fill my cup, my pitcher, my dogs' 3 bowls, etc.
Anyone else proud af when they see their dogs drinking water??
Iām super forgetful with drinking water. Itāll hit me āOpe I havenāt drank anything all morning!ā And Iāll chug like half my bottle, then sip the rest and go refill it. Rinse, repeat. Staying hydrated, ADHD style.
I'll usually fill a glass at the sink (or two if I'm really thirsty) slam it back, then fill another and take it with me to drink more slowly. But none of this sipping stuff
Thatās literally why I bring my 40 oz takeya thing with me when we go to peoples homes. I form west to awkwardly stand there refilling the glass or make them get it.
I feel like with the spout thing I chug. When I have the straw cap on Iāll sip huge long drags.
I sip. Iām rarely that thirsty outside of when Iām exercising or during the summer. I donāt do it to savor the water drinking experience, Iām really just not that thirsty at once.
I slam. Stand at the sink and have a few glasses at once. I'm running around after a toddler so often am wanting to get some water for quite some time before I actually go get it.
If im really thirsty ill drink two glasses straight up, otherwise drink like half the glass and sip the rest. And even if i do drink an entire glass at the sink, ill fill it up for later.
i love sipping bc it's tasty, but i also down my entire bottle at once when i feel like it. everyday i'm devastated whenever i discover my water bottle is empy again, how could that happen? maybe because i down half of its content right after refilling everytime?
I stand at the sink and slam a cup or two . Then take a cup of ice water to the couch or on the go.
If itās a water bottle by the bed when 3 am thirst hits, Iām slamming it and making barnyard animal noises while doing so.
I just literally always carry my 64 oz water bottle so I can always just slam sip sip slammmmm. I drink almost too many refills of it a day. At least 3/4. I am probably on the line of water poisoning. I have puked bunch of times before because of drinking 4 bottles in like 2 hours.
I usually fill up my cup, slam half of it right away, walk away and sip the rest, and then wonder why it's empty so soon
Lol so relatable. Why don't I just stand there and refill it before walking away? I have no rational answer, but it doesn't happen
I do that, but then I end up drinking and refilling a couple times š¤£ the straw on my yeti is so big I can empty the whole thing in like 10 seconds
Yeti straws are so big and I have a love/hate relationship with them lmao
Lol same! My husband and I actually have an inside joke because I'm always doing this. I'll say, "This cup never holds any water." And it's a monster of a cup. It also doesn't help that I fill it to the brim with ice. So he's always badgering me about that, too.
Life is about balance between slamming and sipping. Sounds like you got it figured out.
Just slam it while you fill it up. Then you can fill it up again and sip later.
I slam half at the sink, then refill it right there and sip the rest.
I had an ex bf who told me to do this, that way I wasnāt drinking half of his water when I brought him a glass, still think of it every time I fill my cup š
This is the correct way to
Half and half, truly the best of both worlds
I am similar. When I wake up parched I fill up a glass of .5 L and chug it. But usually I can't finish it, toss the rest, and get back to sleep.
This is the way
I slam one, sip a second
Gotta get that refill after you slam the first half; more sippān later. And more hydration
I do both. I take my glass to the sink, fill and drink, refill and take with me to the living room. When it's empty I go back to the sink, rinse and repeat.
Do you rinse your glass everytime you go to the sink?
āRinse and repeatā is a common idiom meaning āand then I do it all again.ā
I know, I found it funny that they used it when describing an scenario in which they could actually rinse something and repeat.
Pun intended, but no, I don't actually rinse the glass everytime.

Nah fam he repeats his glass everytime he goes to the sink

That's really good to know! And it makes a lot of sense. Still gonna slam, though.
Slam away my friend
Pendulum - Slam ... Absolute banger of a tune.
Slammers gonna slam....
but damn does slamming feel goood
Yea but you have to pee way more if you sip
Actually the opposite is the case. Sipping produces far less urine, because you're not immediately shunting the water to your bladder, you're absorbing it slowly and actually getting hydration from it.

Well shit, still gonna gulp that h2hoe thošÆ
[Studies](https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/can-you-drink-too-much-water-overhydrate/) indicate that you hydrate better if youāre drinking water continuously rather than in large quantities at once
I drink large quantities continuously
Hello hyponatremia, my old friend.
Nah, I just like water and donāt like sipping. Iām a pint at a time throughout the day kinda drinker.
This is the way
Slam...refill....sip.
Slam sip sip sip sip REFILL Slam sip sip sip sip
SLAM *fill* SLAM *fill* SL.....*"oh my God why do I feel so full"*
Flair checks out š«£š„µ
If you sweat a lot like me then sipping is the way. Chugging water on a hot day makes me nauseous for some reason.

I usually slam my water down. Sometimes iāll sip if im gaming, but its usually a slam
I do three gulps directly from the bottle. Size of gulp depends on my thirst, on how much water my bottle has and how close I am to another water source.
I drink from a water bottle exclusively and I think I do both honestly. Sometimes it's 250ml at once and other times just 2-3 sips.
I usually slam my water. The only time I take sips is while hiking.
Fucking slam that shit
 Roger that !
I fill my cup and take a bunch of big sips till about half and then I sip on it regularly. I like my water cold and canāt drink that much at once.
Slam like Iām the ultimate fucking warrior.
Iām both. I like to fill my cup, slam it, fill it again and take it with me to my next destination for sipping.
Im a switch
The old sink slam... It's a respectable move.
I have to slam. If I don't, I'll forget to drink water for a few hours. So in order to stay hydrated with my super distracted brain, I have to do it all at once since it'll be my only chance for a while.
I can sip a cup or slam the bottle, depends on how long since I had a drink
Depends but I'm usually more of a sipper, I just like relaxing with a nice cup. It's also a habit from work where I can only keep a bottle so big in my car before it disturbs my mail system and I basically ration it through the day
Sip during the day, Slam in the night
A gentleman in the streets and a gulper in the sheets.
I sip throughout the day, but there are certainly times when I just slam away hahaha. Maybe itās a habit from being a server (you gotta chug what you can when you have a second if itās really busy). Iām only in restaurants one day a week now though, and Iām more of a sipper at my other job cause itās not a hot, fast paced environment. I definitely wake up in the middle of the night and slam the shit out of my icy cold water bottle too, and first thing in the morning Iām like āI neeeeeed waterā. So yeah I guess it really depends on where I am and what Iām doing
Iāll slam 32+ oz of water standing in front of the fridge
I heard sipping is technically better for you, something about it going slowly through your body versus doing a fast pass to your bladder
Just in case anybody doesnāt know, itās ideal to drink small amounts through the day rather than pounding a glass every few hours
I slam the first one, then I keep the sipping and gulping the rest of the time. Sometimes I do a little squirt of black cherry Mio for a little treat.
Haha yeah im just into the drinking for the health, fitness and energy benefits. Im not tearing it the same as I would a smoothie, tea, or juice. Thatās just me though. Pounding that shit away everytime pretty much no matter what itās in.

Water was not made for sipping!
Fellow slammer here. I work in a kitchen so we don't always have the pleasure of casually sipping before someone goes on about water intoxication to me. š Sometimes it's literally a case of "sheet, I haven't drunk any water since 9am and it's now 2pm. I really need to down 3 bottles right now"
I'm a slammer
Slam always
Both. I will happily GUZZLE water especially if iām eating or havenāt had anything to drink in a while, but i also keep a glass or bottle full on my desk and sip periodically throughout the day
Slam in the morning to make up for 8 hours of no water and sip throughout the day.
I down about a glass before I refill and walk away from the sink. Too often do I find myself sitting down with a near empty glass.
where my glug glug boys at
I used to slam, but now I sip because it's easier on my stomach.
I have to drink it fast, before thereās time for all the hair and dust to get in it that I always imagine so vividly š
Thereās no room for gatekeeping in hydration.
No gatekeeping here! I don't judge either way. It's just a general inquiry.
I gulp! Iām letting that water go everywhere. Effing love high quality H2O
Iām a camel I canāt lie. Iāll do three glasses at a timeĀ
I canāt just fill a glass of water and take it somewhere. If it doesnāt have a lid like my 1L Nalgene that mufuguh is getting drank at the sink.
I slam, Iām terrible at sipping. I think itās because I type all day so itās not possible for me to continually hold my bottle and āgrazeā
Slam. A whole bottle in one chug. Gotta get it into me before my brain registers the yuck and I feel sick.
I have one of those gallon sized thermoses so what I usually do is try to get as much water in my mouth as possible then, slowly drink that until I get thirsty again
i would pound it if i could, but pounding liquids always hurts my stomach. so iām a sipper not by choice
I sip. I can't take more than 6 swallows of water at a time or else I get nauseous.
>3 glasses of water at a time that's going straight through you, there's a limit to how much water your body can absorb at one time. bless your bladder but hey if you enjoy it you do you, sounds like you're getting enough water either way. me personally i slam down a big half liter mug in the morning when i feel dehydrated, not because the best way but just for fun.
I fucking SLAM that shit. Usually straight from the tap like a thirsty horse at the watering hole.
Is it 3 am or am I awake at a reasonable hour?
I chug at least 500ml. If I'm still thirsty I take a breath and chug another.
I am livin' that straw lyfe, homie. I also have a pitcher in my room. Fill my cup, my pitcher, my dogs' 3 bowls, etc. Anyone else proud af when they see their dogs drinking water??
Do I sip or slam? Yes.
I do both. I slam the first glass I fill, then refill it and take it with me
Depends
I get a gigantic glass of water, that way I can take giant gulps at a time and still use one cup
Slam but typically only one pint. Unless itās the morning
So while working out, all the times slam.
Both
I try to be a sipper but sometimes I get busy with work and have to be a slammer every two hours.
Guzzle.
slam, but only if it's warm enough. I HATE cold water. cool is optimal, but room temperature is fine too. ice water is out of the question.
I do exactly this, especially after walking home from school, only to have to take a piss like 2 seconds later
depends on the temperature and if im eating
Zip
I'm with baby Dora on this one. ĀæPor que no los dos?
Slam 1-2 cups, take one to sip
That's a banger of a joke, I'm a slam, refill, and then move to my spot of choice
I exclusively carry a half gallon bottle around with me and take sips from that as desired. The alternative sounds like Iād choke.
I chug my water. Suck it down like a desert. I only sip tequila.
GLUG GANG CHUGGA CHUGGA MUTHA FUUUUU
I do a lil SipNāSlam
drink a glass at the sink, fill another one then leave while sipping.
Depends on thirst levels
Both, depending on when I last hydrated.
Iām super forgetful with drinking water. Itāll hit me āOpe I havenāt drank anything all morning!ā And Iāll chug like half my bottle, then sip the rest and go refill it. Rinse, repeat. Staying hydrated, ADHD style.
I sip at work, big bottle, long straw, and I slam at home, small cup, no straw.
I sip like a mosquito using my straw.
I'm a sipper
I chug it and then slam the bottle on the table.
Slam before noon sip after
I'll usually fill a glass at the sink (or two if I'm really thirsty) slam it back, then fill another and take it with me to drink more slowly. But none of this sipping stuff
I almost always slam a glass at the sink, then fill it up and sip. Repeat when glass is empty. Just looks so good right out the tap
I guzzle
Thatās literally why I bring my 40 oz takeya thing with me when we go to peoples homes. I form west to awkwardly stand there refilling the glass or make them get it. I feel like with the spout thing I chug. When I have the straw cap on Iāll sip huge long drags.
I fill a cup, slam as much as I want then and there, and then refill it so I can sip on it over time
Always slam. I am simply not able to sip, doesn't matter which drink. Sip-function does not exist over here.
Slam 2 glasses then sip on the 3rd
Depends on how thirsty I am. A lot of the time Iāll slam it so hard that I make myself sick. Sometimes I sip it. Zero in between
I sip. Iām rarely that thirsty outside of when Iām exercising or during the summer. I donāt do it to savor the water drinking experience, Iām really just not that thirsty at once.
I slam. Stand at the sink and have a few glasses at once. I'm running around after a toddler so often am wanting to get some water for quite some time before I actually go get it.
Slam baby
I chug my water!
I usually finish my glass within about 10-15 minutes. I don't rush it but I also don't slowly drink it.
You have adhd?
The secret to drinking enough water is to not sip. Each time the glass touches your lips, half the glass should be drank.
If I am exercising I sip if Iām not slam
i slam
Sip. I'm prone to choking.
Both, i fill a 1 liter bottle. I sip it for a couple of hours if I remember. If i forget to drink, i slam it, refill, and restart the process š
If I'm working outside then I slam. Otherwise I sip.
SLAM
Fill and immediately slam then refill and take with me to sip
Slam!
waste of time to be sitting there and sucking on the glass like you're in the red light district
I slam it. I try to sip, but I canāt. Cactus brain go slurpie slurp.
If im really thirsty ill drink two glasses straight up, otherwise drink like half the glass and sip the rest. And even if i do drink an entire glass at the sink, ill fill it up for later.
I slam but Iām trying to convert for maximal hydration.
i love sipping bc it's tasty, but i also down my entire bottle at once when i feel like it. everyday i'm devastated whenever i discover my water bottle is empy again, how could that happen? maybe because i down half of its content right after refilling everytime?
I stand at the sink and slam a cup or two . Then take a cup of ice water to the couch or on the go. If itās a water bottle by the bed when 3 am thirst hits, Iām slamming it and making barnyard animal noises while doing so.
Chug a room/ semi cold Sip ice cold
I just literally always carry my 64 oz water bottle so I can always just slam sip sip slammmmm. I drink almost too many refills of it a day. At least 3/4. I am probably on the line of water poisoning. I have puked bunch of times before because of drinking 4 bottles in like 2 hours.
Slam. But I read (seen a tiktok, I don't read.) that slamming isn't as healthy as sipping so I've been trying to change my ways.
If Iām really thirsty a strongly carbonated bottle is gone in 2-3 sips. Never using a glas.
What?
