Eight steps to drinking a glass of water

Step One: Equipment

In order to “drink a glass of water” you must first have the proper equipment.  If you are short in stature, weighing less than 140 lbs., you might want consider starting with something like an 8 oz. glass.  If you are over 140 lbs., you might have better success practicing with a 12 to 16 oz. glass; that is unless you’ve just gone for a healthy run or a brisk walk or a work out at the gym and then it is acceptable and even advisable to use up to a 24 oz. glass.    This practice comes in handy especially when drinking against the heavy-hitting drinkers of today.  

After you have established the proper equipment it is time to discuss what kind of water you should be drinking.  Remember, when competitive drinking began the original members of the NDA (National Drinking Association) started out using Whiskey and Scotch...that is until the great Russian drinker Vladimir Condroitin entered the scene in the late fifties to have become the greatest drinker of all time.   His preference of libation as you could imagine was good ol’homemade distilled Vodka.   Since then and because hardly anyone could finish the competition, practice as you may, in 1973 it was established that no spirits or libation of any kind could be used for competitive drinking.  As a result since then some of the greatest modern day drinkers have used merely simple tap water when drinking in competition, but of course that was before the advent of distilleries and water purifiers.
