Like I mentioned in the title, my boyfriend doesn't drink any water, ever. He probably goes on for months without water drinking a drop of water. He drinks soda(not diet), cranberry juice, orange juice and iced tea(snapple, arizona) regularly. He doesn't believe it will have any adverse effects on his health, because he sees drinking other liquids of common branded orange/cranberry juice and sodas as meeting the daily requirements of drinking water. With the kind of dependence our body has on water, I just fear he will end up with a LOT of health problems later on that stem from this issue.
Because he IS drinking other liquids, I was just wondering how seriously I should try to get him to drink water specifically? Is drinking other liquids besides water really enough like he thinks? If not, what are some things likely to go wrong in the longterm? Lastly, since he hates drinking water, what is the minimum amount of water he must drink, in addition to the other liquids?
