  • The health benefits of proper hydration are numerous...

  • ...and undeniable.

  • We asked four people to drink only water...

  • for one month.

  • Monster headaches.

  • I'm so tired.

  • Lashing out.

  • We want fucking water!

  • Stop torturing me.

  • This is a psychological component.

  • I might die doing this. I literally might die doing this.

  • Coffee is life. Life is coffee.

  • Like, on a normal day, I'm dehydrated.

  • I'm probably dehydrated right now.

  • I don't know how to watch Netflix without wine.

  • I'm addicted to coffee. I love soda on the weekend.

  • I really hope to not be dehydrated all the time.

  • I'd like to know what it feels like to feel healthy.

  • I wanna be not addicted to caffeine.

  • I feel really sluggish in the afternoons around 2 or 3,

  • and I'm hoping that maybe if I just go all water

  • I'll have some more energy.

  • I can do this, 100%. (laughs)

  • Good morning, everybody.

  • So, got my water, I'm ready to do this,

  • I'm feelin' pretty good.

  • Actually, I'm pretty excited. Let's do this!

  • Healthy living: day one.

  • It's day three. I feel like I'm dying right now.

  • Can I chew, like, coffee beans for caffeine?

  • I went into this really confident, but this is actually

  • one of the hardest things I've ever done.

  • I'm so tired. And all I wanna do is drink coffee.

  • I have had a ton of withdrawal.

  • I just feel terrible.

  • Monster headaches,

  • lashing out at other people for no reason.

  • To me, I feel like this was probably the toughest week.

  • Cause it was the change.

  • I feel like now I'm sorta getting used to not having tea.

  • But the biggest bummer, I think, was socializing.

  • David. How's that water thing coming, buddy?

  • The water thing is just great,

  • and I was just getting some water right now.

  • Which water were you gonna get in there?

  • And don't you guys have jobs or something?

  • Don't you have jobs? Get to your jobs.

  • Eating and drinking are so tied to my social life.

  • It's difficult to be at breakfast and just drinking water

  • and everyone else is drinking, like,

  • a coffee or some orange juice.

  • This challenge is the worst possible thing.

  • I've gained weight.

  • The fact that I'm drinking so much water

  • makes me feel entitled to make choices like nachos.

  • I guess when I came into this I was kinda hoping

  • that I would notice more energy,

  • or notice something significant about the way I feel change

  • and that hasn't happened.

  • I also haven't been super good about not drinking alcohol.

  • I just wanna have fun on a Friday after the difficult week

  • so I've had a few drinks. (buzzer)

  • and then I went to karaoke and

  • (buzzer) drank a lot. (laughs)

  • Proper hydration can lead to improved physical performance.

  • So we're gonna play some kind of

  • weird mash-up of Capture the Flag and tag?

  • I feel okay, I feel pretty fine.

  • I'm not too tired, so maybe I have been

  • a lot more hydrated these past three weeks.

  • Since I've started the only water thing, I have noticed:

  • the wall I hit at 3 or 4 pm has kind of gone away.

  • I've been managing my sleep better,

  • so I force myself to go to bed at a certain time

  • if I know that the next day I have to get up early.

  • Cause usually I'll just like use coffee to cover all that up.

  • I also didn't realize just how often in my life

  • alcohol is just around, and more often than not, free.

  • In this past week I was at three different parties

  • where people were offering me lots of free alcohol.

  • Stop torturing me.

  • This is way harder than I thought it was going to be.

  • This is just, this has been the worst.

  • Post-Water

  • I'm about to explode with happiness. Oh my gosh!

  • It's been a long time. (sighs)

  • This is great.

  • It is before 11:30 in the morning.

  • It's one week out and I feel tired, still, all the time.

  • I feel like coffee should really affect me now,

  • but I feel like now I'm just desensitized to it.

  • Doing this life change was really good

  • because now any future life changes I wanna make

  • I'm a little more prepared for.

  • My base lesson is that water should be

  • what you drink as a baseline.

  • I can't tolerate coffee anymore.

  • Which is so sad and so difficult.

  • You're forcing me to be hydrated

  • and not have an excessive amount of caffeine.

  • You... You messed with my life.

  • (laughing) You've changed my life.

The health benefits of proper hydration are numerous...
