      Fuck bottled water in general.

      Yes I’m aware that in too many places the tap water is not safe to drink, but that’s not an argument for bottled water, that’s a societal and infrastructure issue that need to be directly addressed so that the tap water is safe to drink. Bottled water may be necessary in those places for the time being, but it should never be the long term solution. It is both ecologically and financially burdensome for the already marginalized communities without a safe water supply.

      Back when everyone was buying all the bottled water, nobody was touching the Dasani.

      That’s because everyone knows that shit is anti-water. I drank it once and felt even more thirsty. I consider this the moment that radicalized me.

    As a pharmacist, it’s shocking how many people don’t understand this

      There are people who don’t use water (or any other drinkable) to swallow pills? How?

          I mean, whatever works for you (and does not result in complications).

        The same way you swallow pieces of your food without water?

        Also, “drinkable”? We used to call them just drinks.

        I just throw 'em right at the throat, but if I’m gonna drink anyways I do do it with water.

    The trick I use is to hold the pill between my front teeth, and then release it as I take a sip of water. The pill goes straight down, none of that bumping into the side of your throat

    I have never taken pills with water. Doesn’t work. My tongue prevents me from taking the pills of I do so I just finger my throat like a bitch and then cry afterwards

      Interesting solution. I take half a dozen pills a day (for years) and can’t swallow them either. But I just chew em now. It’s… not pleasant. Some days I almost don’t even have to, other days it takes 15 minutes. We should just normalize suppositories.

    I had a hard to swallow pill once. Struggled to get it down even with water. Turns out it was a suppository.

    I’ve been taking 8 pills at once 3 times a day for a while and even more of them before that. It gets pretty easy but I still choke on em every once in a while.
