  1. No, never; just wine.


  2. Water is essential for us to live. Everyone has to drink water.

  3. they drink tap water.. the water in france is very pure and they all drink tap water. i don't think there is anything wrong with it because it tastes like purified water here in ca for me...

  4. wait....are you really asking this question? like for real

  5. Bien sur!  If this is a serious question, here is a serious answer.  The French drink as much water as anyone else.  However, it is not recommended to drink water from any old source.  When in France, you will find signs saying "Eau Potable," which means that this water source is safe, or potable.  Most French buy their water at the store for walking around.  They like it "gaseuse", which is fizzy, and "naturelle" or "non-gaseuse," or the like, for plain water.  They also drink flavored water and sport drinks.  Most homes have bottled water brought in because the pipes are very old, sometimes centuries old, and they do not want to risk having extra stuff in their water.  The stereotype that they only drink wine is a cute one, but untrue.

  6. No, they absolutely do not.  Get this - they don't p**p either!  It's amazing, truly amazing.

  7. You're a huge crack-up Sad Snail.

    We probably drink as much water as you guys drink soda. I think that should give you a hint :o)

  8. OH NO here we never drinks water we prefers to die of thirst like dogs.

  9. God! Of course we don't! Are you mad? We never drink water. Some people drink some drops in their pastis, but that's all. We only drink wine. Anyway, we don't have water in our homes, and we are to poor to buy bottled water. So we drink wine and wash when it rains. That's France.

  10. NO, they do not,. They only drink Mouton-Rotschild and  Mumm's.

    Evian, Perrier, etc are only for export.

  11. why yes they do drink water in france they need it to rehydrate there snails so they will slide right down.

  12. France is the best contry for the Champagne so we don't drink water!

    noo come on! of course we drink water!

  13. I know, right? Also, do they ride bikes a lot or what?

  14. No, in France, we drink only wine, but good one !

    Of course I joke....
