Why is water so unpalatable at breakfast?

Question

At breakfast I can happily drink fruit juice, coffee, tea, hot chocolate or even champagne. But I have no taste for pure water at all. I just can't manage more than a few sips if I try it. I'm happy drinking water at any other time of day. Why does water seem to be so unpalatable early in the morning?

Answer 1

with breakfast it just dose not taste good

Answer 2

I drink water right when I get up.  I’m usually a little thirsty and it helps get rid of morning breath.  I head downstairs and get a cold bottle of water.  I usually finish that up in a few minutes and get on with the rest of my morning routine.  So, one bottle is out of the way and I have 3 more to finish by the end of the day.  Never drink water with breakfast.  And any water I drink has to be cold.  I hate room temp water.

Answer 3

It has no taste.

Think of breakfast items

Alot of sweets or salt.

Pancakes with syrup.

Cereal with sugar.

Eggs with bacon ( salt).

Pop tarts

Toast with salted butter.

O.J. etc ,etc.

When you wake up, your taste buds are still asleep and need a good shot of salt or sugar.

The body naturally craves sugar and salt in the am.

( I can't tolerate water in the am either).

Answer 4

I don't know. Never heard of this before. The first thing I do when I get up is drink 2 glasses myself.

Answer 5

I like water when I first get up--especially if I was drinking the night before.  I'll have a cold glass, and then make some nice, strong coffee.
