Parker Valby Doesn't Drink Water???

Why do people take everything she says so seriously? Listen to her past interviews, she exaggerates a lot.

Parker's troll level is off the charts.

Yes, but Parker's trolls level is also off the charts. I find her approach to be a nice mental jiujitsu for the hater clowns, many of whom love stanking up these boards.

Perhaps, but her schtick is quickly wearing thin. "I don't hydrate!" "That was only a 6-out-of-10 effort!"

So you don't appreciate an athlete who can have fun with it, throwing out assymetric statements to be playful? So you just want the regular ol' expected soundbites like they teach you in media training? You must be a riot at parties.

She drinks tiger blood!!!

VALBYMANIA, BABY!

By "asymmetric statements" do you mean lies? Then no, I don't appreciate an athlete who lies during interviews.

Maybe she just means she doesn't drink plain water, so she may drink water with lemon juice in it and so on.

It is very annoying.

A couple of years ago I purchased a homemade kombucha that had been aged to a tart vinegar taste. I ran a hilly cross-country race later on that very hot day in which I was heavily laboring, and freaked out when I looked down at my watch and was hitting a heart rate that was 4bpm higher than I had ever recorded up to that time. Consistently drinking that strong of kombucha would probably not be a good thing for teeth enamel.

Neither of my parents really drank water. They would go for months, probably years and only drank it if they were taking a pill.

Oh no, Peach Pit. You’re becoming such a quality poster, don’t start with this, which actually reads like a parody of those who insist her training methods make her suspicious.

You see, water is the chief constituent in all drinks, and the primary ingredient in most. Here’s a reference for you to bone up on the idea:

Drink

A drink or beverage is a liquid intended for human consumption. In addition to their basic function of satisfying thirst, drinks play important roles in human culture. Common types of drinks include plain drinking water, milk...

Probably of a similar age, I never saw my grandmother drink water. She almost always had a cup of weak coffee that she frequently microwaved to re-heat. Sometimes she had a little glass of wine with meals. I'm pretty sure I never saw her drink anything else.

Valby is one of the best runners when it comes to sound bites. "My head is like a ping pong ball." "We're just hamsters running in circles." "I stopped cross training and now run 90 miles per week." I think she's had more sound bites this championship than any other athlete.

Back in the day of the great sailing ships, the crew drank mostly beer.

In the old days, workers got a daily ale ration during shifts.

A bunch of awkward introverts simps interviewing an attractive extrovert. She could of had them all barking like dogs if she wanted to.

If you go back in time to maybe a couple centuries ago or more you'd find that people didn't drink much water often because it was pretty foul. The brewing process of beer killed off a lot of the microbes that fouled the water.
