Step 1: Drink water

jug1a.jpg
Before you can even consider starting to store stuff in the plastic water jugs, you have to drink the water they're holding. It's recommended that you drink 8 full glasses of water a day. However, drinking a little more than that will not hurt you and may, in fact, be beneficial. If there are two people drinking water from the container, you should be able to go through one in about two to three days.

No, to much water makes you 'whiz' out all your nutrients. Do it enough and you'll die like an anorexic person. Mal-nutrition and Starvation!

Actually water has no effect on the nutrients. It's a common misconception, but if you urine collor simply indicates how much of the nutrients your body doesn't use.
The extra water is similar to dehydration, because it removes the salt from your body, similar to what happens when you sweat and don't get electrolytes.

It's not the water that kills you, it's running out of air. (like the falling one)

Yes, about 8 gallons in five minutes will kill you. Even if you drank one entire jug of water, nothing bad would happen, besides frequent visits to the bathroom. BTW, ANYTHING can kill you.

I read up on it after the lady died, I think it's actually closer to 15-20 in an hour.

Wow, I know that it only takes like a gallon to kill a baby.

These guys are barely drinking one every 3 days, so there's no cause for worry...

I'm just saying, don't to try to get all these containers in one day.

If you wanted more of the containers, buy em and hand out to friends to drink. You'll have the containers you want in a couple of days (depending on how many friends you have...)
