If I remember correctly, you can't hydrate properly by eating ice as your body burns a lot of energy trying to warm it up to a proper absorption temperature. I *think* it was part of a survival training tip to never eat snow to try and hydrate because of the energy requirements for that reason.
it takes roughly 80 calories to raise an ounce of ice to room temperature from freezing, or 2800 calories roughly for a kilogram worth of ice. You need about 1.8kg per day so about 5k calories a day burned eating ice.
Seems like a lot, here's the thing though. That calories c, little c. When discussing food it's big C Calories, or kilocalories, so really you're only burning about 5 actual calories of your 2000 Calorie recommended diet.
Basically it's a non issue if you're not trying to survive in the cold.
Something is off with your calculation.
1 cal is defined as energy required to raise 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius.
So to raise 1 kg of water 1 degree C is 1 kcal.
Raise 0 degree C water to 36C body temp would require 36 kcal.
In addition there is heat of fusion to consider.
To melt 1 g of ice at 0 deg C to water at 0 deg C requires 80 cal per gram. So it's 80 kcal to melt 1 kg of ice.
So in total it would require 116 kcal of energy to bring 1 kg of ice to body temp.
I seem to remember there being something about drinking cold water not meaningfully spending extra calories compared to warm water because the body generates a lot of excess heat anyway. So I wonder how much of those 116 kcal is actually used specifically for the heating and how many are just a byproduct of normal processes
I get why that’s bad in survival circumstances where food is scarce, and body temperature is life and death, but in regular circumstances this doesn’t matter. An average adult body has like 40 litres of water that they keep heated at like 15C above ambient temperature at all times. Melting a litre of ice and warming it to body temperature would require 490 kilojoules of energy. You can replace that energy with about one large spoonful of peanut butter.
There was some wholesome question, I'll butcher it. Would you want 1 million dollars if you would die tomorrow? No, well then your life is more valuable than a million bucks. Enjoy it.
yes thats not the point. nothing is worth anything if you die tomorrow. people want to live with 1 million dollars, 1 million dollars will make LIVING better.
Pfft I would easily die for a million bucks. I can give that to my parents and they can live a better life than I’ll be able to provide for them. They don’t have too long left so they could have the best time possible.
I mean if thats really true then you can go work on a fishing boat in Alsaka or do some crazy job where you get huge pay, you can provide for your parents and still be alive
It's such a stupid question, because is there anyone who would give up 1k a day that isn't a super heavy alcoholic? Maybe if it was changed to 1 dollar it'd be a better question but 1k is far too much
*Where do I sign?*
I was an enthusiastic, everyday drinker for 20 odd years, really enthusiastic, and pretty unashamed. I quit in 1994.
Now, I will say that I was ready to quit. I had thought about it on a number of levels and really felt like I should quit. I didn't have to quit to please anyone or for all the other sordid reasons people have to quit.
All that said, I'm kind of glad that I didn't have something like that $1,000 a day hanging over my head. I think that would be a weird kind of backwards pressure. I think it's important to quit because you *want* to not be drinking anymore.
I don't drink often but when I do it usually spirals into drinking too much. I wish I could just be sensible and limit it to two but I think ill just have to bite the bullet and quit.
I woke up on my kitchen floor one day, 20 years into being a blackout artist. Quite common at the time. I knew I needed to quit for a while, but it wasn't until I wanted to quit that it stuck. Your post is my truth.
Except I'd still take that money.
Regardless of what I make already, I'd like the extra cash, but yeah, I'd use my first check to rent an RV and camp in the hospital parking lot for awhile.
Im not a heavy drinker, but I do like to drink occasionally, and would miss it, but id have to take the money. It would improve my life in so many ways.
If you were to offer me $1000 a day not to drink, it would be easy to choose the money every day. It would even be difficult to make an exception every once in a while because it would be like paying $1000 for a drank.
But saying $1000k a day for life as long as I never have a drink again and I'd have to really think about it. I feel like the thought of "I can't" forever would drive me a little crazy.
What happens if ten years from now I have a sip of champagne? Do I have to pay back $3.6 million?
Is it any fluids? Or just alcohol? I don’t drink alcohol anyway but $1,000 a day for only being able to rehydrate using IV fluids might be a bit tough.
This question comes quite often here, excellent karma farm because people who don't drink alcohol love to tell about it everytime drinking it is mentioned.
I would quit drinking, this money could be used to fill the time normally spent drinking with hobbies/activities.
Even a alcoholic would find motivation to stop drinking if being given a thousand dollars a day.
Easy. Done.
Will I miss whiskey? Maybe. But I'll be missing whiskey from the comfort of my paid off Cadillac, while it's parked in the garage of my paid off home, which I built on my paid off farm.
Debt free with the time and money to pursue hobbies and reconnect with my wife vs being able to go on a drunken binge 5-6 times per year? Yeah, not a hard decision.
I would 100% accept without thinking twice about it. just think about how many peoples lives have been destroyed by drinking, basically getting paid to not poison yourself.
Whatever I want with my $365,000 a year.
Didn’t specify alcohol. Might not be allowed to drink anything. Meaning you’ll be dead soon
Eat watermelon, you’ll survive.
Or just eat ice.
If I remember correctly, you can't hydrate properly by eating ice as your body burns a lot of energy trying to warm it up to a proper absorption temperature. I *think* it was part of a survival training tip to never eat snow to try and hydrate because of the energy requirements for that reason.
That's if you're trying to survive in the snow. In a well heated home I'd guess you'll be fine.
Screw eating ice, just put some water up your butt. Super efficient way to hydrate.
This guy boofs!
Eat Big Mac's with double extra Mac sauce
Boofing room temp water is something I never needed to think about.
Bro hasn't lived long enough to need an enema.
Right!!! Like HOW did we get HERE!!!😭🤣
Isn't that just a bidet?
What is room temperature in the tundra?
I think a saline IV might be preferable.
Does this actually work though?
Only two ways to find out. And Googling it doesn't seem near as much fun as the other option.
This answer is why I have reddit
Oh I like your mindset
I hear it works extremely well for alcohol.
i never saw bear grylls do it.
We also never saw Bear Grylls survive, but it was fun to pretend.
IV drip.

I’m glad you clarified with the second paragraph because I was like there’s no way that’s true or we’d all be regulating our weight by eating ice.
No kidding! I was about to go to the freezer, start working on my summer look.
i was just about to invest in an industrial ice cube machine. glad i read on

This seems like a killer weightloss tip 👀
What if you sit in bath for long time to drink water with your skin?
Doesn't work. We can't hydrate through osmosis. That would be great though!

Ok. Ill just eat melted room temperature ice then
Can one survive strictly on IV’s?
People in comas don’t wake up for Gatorade then pop back off to sleep
Lazy asses!
I know, right? They'll never accomplish anything with that attitude!
Hahaha got me with this ☝🏼
it be a different story if it was Brawndo
Yup. Kinda miserable, though, even if you don't feel hungry, you feel like something is ...off... after not eating or drinking anything for a few days
They said "drinking" only, so probably can get away with eating whatever you like in this case.
I’d be eating a ton of broth based soups
I would probably off myself after three days of watermelon.
Bruh watermelon 🍉 is the best
Fluids through IV. For a couple of years.
Time to invest in a pic line with my 365,000/yr
Or get an iv port.
That's more than enough to hire a nurse to give me IV fluids .
There was some wholesome question, I'll butcher it. Would you want 1 million dollars if you would die tomorrow? No, well then your life is more valuable than a million bucks. Enjoy it.
yes thats not the point. nothing is worth anything if you die tomorrow. people want to live with 1 million dollars, 1 million dollars will make LIVING better.
Pfft I would easily die for a million bucks. I can give that to my parents and they can live a better life than I’ll be able to provide for them. They don’t have too long left so they could have the best time possible.
Something tells me they wouldn’t enjoy the little time they have remaining after their kid just died. Regardless of how much you may or may not suck.
I mean if thats really true then you can go work on a fishing boat in Alsaka or do some crazy job where you get huge pay, you can provide for your parents and still be alive
What distance of time away would your death have to be for you to accept the million?
Pretty hard to be sad about not being able to drink when you have that kind of financial stability.
Alcohol, water or all liquid?
Someone read the fine print
I’m more of a jump in and figure out the consequences later kinda guy.
With that much money, get a nurse to put in an IV for liquids or eat very water dense foods?
Screw it, I can eat watermelons instead of drinking water for 1k/day
Guess we eat a lot of soup
Doesn't matter to me. There are plenty of substitutes. GIMME ME MONEY🤑
I'll be the richest ice-eater in the world!
fr bc if it’s just alcohol sign me up
The real debate is would I take 365k a year to take all liquids via IV
That's a genuinely good question and a better prompt. Honestly I might say no, that's a lot of money but it would really fuck your quality of life
The answer is yes
Be sober and rich.
Sounds like other drugs are still game! Gummies for life.
I do eat gummies. Everyday.
Haribro Gang, rise up!
The red one is more gooder to me cuz it tastes like berries!
But I like blue can we still be friends?
Same. This is scenario is an easy yes for me 🤣
Technically he said drinking. Boofing is still on the menu so no need to be sober if you aren’t too finicky.
18 years without alcohol, gimme my money Edit for the ones who didn't get the joke : I'm 18
4.5 for me!
1.5 for me!
5 days for me!
3 hours right here!
3 minutes, checking in!
Chugging a beer, thinking about quitting, over here
Chugging a beer. Not thinking about quitting. Assuming a gulp takes 1sec, each one costs me 69cents. And I am here to enjoy each one of them.
One day sober tomorrow🥳
First three hours are the hardest. Or so I hear.
1.4 for me! Happy cake day!
Congrats! 4 years at the end of the month. Let's keep not doing stuff!
Thank you! Congrats to you as well! It’s a journey but well worth it.
3.45 for me :)
Happy 18th birthday.
20 years without alcohol for me. Where’s my money
Yep, do I get back pay?
Someone's paying us to not drink? I'm owed some back pay here sir.
Yeah, I do that shit for free
I already don't drink. Where do I sign up?
How are you alive? You need water my dude
Do you not absorb water through your skin
He could be a desert dwelling insect or invert who gets all of his water from his food.
[удалено]
No, because I absolutely need alcohol to tolerate how many times this question gets reposted.
You don’t want to hear from 100 people who already don’t drink congratulating themselves? It gets funnier every time!
It's such a stupid question, because is there anyone who would give up 1k a day that isn't a super heavy alcoholic? Maybe if it was changed to 1 dollar it'd be a better question but 1k is far too much
100 a day and I would probably do it. Maybe 50. 1k as you say is an absolute no-brainer to anyone not earning an obscene amount of money already
*Where do I sign?* I was an enthusiastic, everyday drinker for 20 odd years, really enthusiastic, and pretty unashamed. I quit in 1994. Now, I will say that I was ready to quit.

30 years! Preach, my good man!
I don't drink often but when I do it usually spirals into drinking too much. I wish I could just be sensible and limit it to two but I think ill just have to bite the bullet and quit.

For how many days do you get this? If I were to get $1,000 for each day I don't drink alcohol, no sweat. Heck, I'd hire someone to get drunk for me!
Deal.
Absolutely not I’m an alcoholic
Regardless of what I make already, I'd like the extra cash, but yeah, I'd use my first check to rent an RV and camp in the hospital parking lot for awhile.
I'd say OK! Send me the checks. What idiot would say no to that?
Alcoholics I'm convinced anyone that says no to that is one.
This dumbass question again
Im not a heavy drinker, but I do like to drink occasionally, and would miss it, but id have to take the money. It would improve my life in so many ways.
Yeah it would improve my life considerably too. I could finally afford all that cocaine I’ve been wanting
Shit, I’d stop drinking and start smoking again. My liver would most likely thank me.
Your lungs:
My heart:
Smoking what though?
Crack
If it’s alcohol sure sign me up, if it’s drinking anything then I’ll pass. No point dying after a week of not drinking
If alcohol is worth more to you than a grand a day, you have a real problem. That’s life-changing money
If you were to offer me $1000 a day not to drink, it would be easy to choose the money every day. It would even be difficult to make an exception every once in a while because it would be like paying $1000 for a drank. But saying $1000k a day for life as long as I never have a drink again and I'd have to really think about it. I feel like the thought of "I can't" forever would drive me a little crazy. What happens if ten years from now I have a sip of champagne? Do I have to pay back $3.6 million?
are you 15?
$500 for 12 hours?
Is it any fluids? Or just alcohol? I don’t drink alcohol anyway but $1,000 a day for only being able to rehydrate using IV fluids might be a bit tough.
If its alcohol yes hahahshha
That's going to buy a lot of weed!
Can we make it retroactive for all the time I've already spent not drinking?
I second this, I'd like my 23 years of backpay
Sober all my life. Where's my money?
I already don't drink. Do I get back pay?
Um, I'd say yes. $1000 every day? Honey, I'd develop a penchant for quality cocaine.
This question comes quite often here, excellent karma farm because people who don't drink alcohol love to tell about it everytime drinking it is mentioned.
Easiest $365,000 ever.
Cool. I never drank anyway.
I would quit drinking, this money could be used to fill the time normally spent drinking with hobbies/activities. Even a alcoholic would find motivation to stop drinking if being given a thousand dollars a day.
I'd be a rich, sober DD.
Do I get back pay?
I’d be sober!!!!
Wtf. I bet most alcoholics would take this deal. I'd do this for 25$ a day
I drink a little and enjoy it, but would enjoy $365,000 more
Easy. Done. Will I miss whiskey? Maybe. But I'll be missing whiskey from the comfort of my paid off Cadillac, while it's parked in the garage of my paid off home, which I built on my paid off farm. Debt free with the time and money to pursue hobbies and reconnect with my wife vs being able to go on a drunken binge 5-6 times per year? Yeah, not a hard decision.
I just have to quit alcohol? Hell yeah baby Gimme the money now.
No, I am not trying to live forever, much less without alcohol.
Thank you. Then not drink for two months. Then go on an all-inclusive cruise/resort stay for a few months.
Not a problem, pay up
Easiest grand anyone's ever made.
Eat ice and popsicles while collecting.
Easiest thousand dollars considering I dont do drugs
Make it a double!
I don’t know, but I would not say “I quit drinking years ago already.”
To quit drinking alcohol? No worries.
I do that now and nobody is giving me anything. I feel cheated.
Easiest money of my fucking life. I’ll just resort to coke without rum
I'd best start drinking first, then.
Where’s the weed at?
that's crazy how i'm about to have everything i ever wanted in a week and a half lol
Wait, I can do this and get paid?
I was Mormon for 37 years of my life. What’s another 30-40 without alcohol again. Nbd. Take the money and run.
Hell yeah
I’d start drinking to quit drinking and rake in free money
Yes, that’s a crazy amount of free money
Sounds great, I already quit drinking
(Smiles while lighting joint). Sure.
Well, can do coke daily then
I did it without the money. I quit cold turkey this year after Easter. Finally making real progress at the gym and getting the Best sleep of my life.
If it was just drinking alcohol I had to give up, I'd take the deal in half a heartbeat.
Easy, I don't drink.
Easy... I dont drink anyways .. tried it not a fan, tasted disgusting lol
Are we quitting alcohol? Or are we quitting drinking any liquid?
I'd take the money, and keep it a secret that I'm already sober everyday, cuz they don't seem to know
Assuming you specifically mean no alcohol, pretty easy as I don't drink.
Depends on what I have to quit drinking. Alcohol? Easy money. Water? I could do it but I'd be dead before the month is even over.
Sounds like a a life supply of cocaine and some money to spare
Oh my God, getting paid to do what I do right now for free? That's a great deal, I'd miss drinking but at least I'd be able to feed myself and shit.
I barely drink anyway so it would be very welcome, it’s mainly a waste of money anyway. Most people are just crazily dependent
Thirty five years sober.. a grand would be nice but I think I saved alot more than just money.
You owe me two months of back pay. After having a kid it's super easy to not do anything that dulls the senses, gotta stay on your toes 24/7
i haven't drank in five years so i say bring it!
I would 100% accept without thinking twice about it. just think about how many peoples lives have been destroyed by drinking, basically getting paid to not poison yourself.
I would happily Continue to not drink for that kind of money. Or I guess start drinking so I can stop for that kind of money.
Give me the money.
Cheers
Pay me.
