A new survey found that Irish people drink nearly 1 liter more water a day under the new crown epidemic, mainly because they can't go anywhere during the lockdown.

According to the "Irish Observer" reported on the 8th, the survey of 1,000 Irish adults found that 45% of adults drank 1 to 2 liters of water per day. In addition, since March 2020, Irish women have drunk an average of 1.4 litres of water per day, slightly more than men's 1.3 litres.

Overall, more than 1/3 of people increased their water intake during lockdown, with 71 percent drinking at least 1 liter more and 23 percent drinking 1-2 liters more. Mike Sutton, head of the investigation, said: "The results show that the Irish have listened to the advice of the public health authorities and other authorities during the lockdown. To stay healthy, drinking plenty of water is one of the easiest and most important things we can do every day. ”

In addition, 54% of respondents spent an average of 4.6 euros per week on bottled water. About half of those surveyed said the type of bottled water they buy depends on whether the bottles are made of recycled plastic and whether they can be recycled after use. (He Shan)
