How to give up other drinks besides water?
What is the easiest way to avoid other drinks besides water?
Thanks, but I can't help what my mom buys.
Answer:
Well, you can find alternatives to them, or spruce up your water!
Water tastes great with a twist of lemon, or with an addition of a Crystal Light packet.
You could also try other kinds of water like seltzer, flavored, etc.
I like Sprite, a lot, but I'm not supposed to have soda because of the sugar and stuff. I find that sparkling water tastes great, especially flavored sparkling water. My local grocery store, ShopRite, has their own generic brand of sparkling water called Clear Delight, and my favorite flavor is Tropical. It tastes exactly like Sprite, except no calories, sugar, carbs, etc. Great alternative to soda.
Hope this helps!
How to stop my daughter from drinking water from water bottle at home?
She always drinks water bottle when she is at home. She has filtered water but she is picky. Water bottles are only for traveling or emergencies. I tell her if she keeps drinking water bottle at home, she will have to pay for them. She is 16 and a little bit immature. She is also messy. Saying this, she has water bottles all over her room. Some still even has water in it!!!! Im just saying on how to get her to drink filtered water,,!
Answer:
Stop buying bottled water. If she complains about no bottled water go into the kitchen and fill a reusable water bottle with tap water. Explain that this is what bottled water basically is, sometimes without filtration, and that bottled water companies are both geniuses and assholes for thinking this up before your daughter could.
How to make a carmel latte with coffee maker?
I drink the instant Maxwell vanilla caramel latte in the small plastic tubs. They are sweet with a nice creamy texture. However, they are expensive and I was wondering if I purchased a coffee maker and made my own caramel coffee, how I could add that creamy caramel latte taste at home? I do not have time to steam milk. I am a recent coffee drinker so I am unsure. Thank you!
Answer:
Latte is an espresso drink -- think a couple tablespoons of water with the amount of coffee beans you'd use for 8 oz of regular coffee for espresso strength. If you are really short on time heat on the stove top or microwave a heaping teaspoon of instant coffee with 6 oz of low-fat milk or an ounce of water with 5 oz regular milk. If you are heating on the stove top, whisk until bubbles appear, then take of stove. Pour in a mug and stir in caramel flavoring to tasting like Torani brand that the coffee shops use or caramel syrup like Hershey's brand.
Also, if you like foam on your latte, you don't need a steaming machine. All you need is a jar and a microwave. See the link below.
How to kick the habit of drinking way to much soda?

Anyone know what i could do kick this bad habit of mine ?

If its the carbonation you like, drink fizzy water. If its the sweetness, try "Sparkling Ice" water, its 0 calories and tastes relatively good. You really need to just drink water eventually though, its the best for you.
How to kick a ciggarette and soda addiction?
I need help to kick this, I smoke a pack and a half a day, along with drinking roughly a 24 pack of mountain dew a day. Suggestions?
Answer:
the smoking is tough have you tried the electronic ciggarette? its very similar to smoking after you get used to the feel of it. it helped me quit for several months (had a bad week and a roommate that still smoked so i started again) its also initially a little pricy but is cheaper in the long run
How to estimate water temperature without a thermometer?
I have a tea that I want to brew at no higher than 140 F/60 C because it would break down an active ingredient, but I want it to be basically as warm as possible because it's, y'know, tea. Is there I way I can get reasonably good precision (say, know I'm between 130-140 F) without a thermometer, e.g. by counting how long I can touch the water or how much it's steaming?
Answer:
You can estimate by how long you can hold your finger in the water. 130*, about 5 seconds; 140*, about 2 seconds. Note: these numbers do not match the third degree burn times cited from the CPSC site, because your body is going to jerk your finger out of the water before you get a third degree burn.
"Most adults will suffer third-degree burns if exposed to 150 degree water for two seconds. Burns will also occur with a six-second exposure to 140 degree water or with a thirty second exposure to 130 degree water. Even if the temperature is 120 degrees, a five minute exposure could result in third-degree burns."

How to stay awake for 48 hours without any energy drinks or coffee?
I need to stay awake for 48 hours and i need to know any tips or if mountain dew will help? Are there any health issues i should expect? Please answer urgently!
Answer:
Ok first off, the guy near the the bottom's statements are true, but those symptoms don't show up till around 4-5 days. Also, your body has a method called "micro-sleep" which counter acts this. Basically, your brain shuts down for a short period (from 5sec to a minute from what I hear). I've experienced it, and basically you still see and hear everything, you just sort of zone out for a bit. Those torture methods keep you from even doing that, and that is why those symptoms show up.
Yes, you will feel extremely tired, and, depending on how much "out of sync" this is with your normal sleep schedule, you could be looking at a lot more sleep needed afterwards than you normally get (I'd guess10+ hrs as opposed to the recommended 8, though I am no expert)
Mountain Dew has lots of sugar and caffeine in it, which will give you a boost, but expect a crash after it wears off. Teas (except for the caffeine free ones, of course) have as much, if not more caffeine than coffee. Dr Pepper and Coke also have lots of caffeine in them.
Stimulating things such as music, movies, or video games can get the juices flowing. Also, doing stretches can get the circulation going, and it makes it for a better activity than just sitting on the couch.
How to make tea without a tea kettle?
Seriously, I do not have a tea kettle, not even a teapot.
I usually make tea by putting a microwave-safe teacup full of water along with the tea bag in the microwave oven and set the oven for a minute and fifteen seconds.
Now that I have a metal mug, what would be best for a kettle? Metal makes sparks in a microwave oven which will eventually make an electrical fire.
Answer:
Do you have a coffee maker? If so instead of putting coffee in it put tea in the coffee maker instead.Use one cup of water for each tea bag. It tastes great and brews well.
If you do not have a coffee pot any sauce pot will do. Remember to use one cup of water per tea bag. After the water is near boiling add the tea bag(s) and then boil for a few minutes. When doing things this way be careful when pouring.
Enjoy.
