Lol when I was in Iceland climbing a glacier the guide encouraged us to drink the water, and it was the purest-tasting water I’ve ever had. Didn’t get sick, but can’t tell you whether or not that was just lucky.

Some of the scariest places I can imagine.

Water rests on the top, melting downwards trying to reach the bottom, when it reaches it, it breaks through and makes a river on top that leads to a hole that goes sometimes hundreds of feet to the bottom.

Imagine swimming in this peaceful blue glacial water(ice worms btw) and then you hear 'crack'. Suddenly your gentle blue pool is a massive toilet about to take you for a ride to the bottom, never to be seen again.

Oh, great. Another person who thinks water is some kind of magical cure-all. Let me tell you, kid, a glass of water isn't going to fix all your problems, especially not a hangover. It's just like any other beverage, like a flavorless iceberg lettuce or a bland cauliflower. Sure, it can hydrate you and maybe even help with some of the symptoms, but it's not going to make all your pain go away. And if you're the kind of person who's getting hungover all the time, maybe it's time to take a look at your life choices and make some changes. Drinking water might help in the short term, but it's not a long-term solution to your problems. So go ahead and drink your little glass of water, but don't expect it to solve all your woes.
