Could water be the energy drink of 2021?

By Laura Kingston

At the end of December last year. I joined a 6pm Zoom call hosted by Waterdrop – innovators of the world’s first microdrink. It was dark, I’d had a long day at work and I was super tired (thank god it was a camera off event). 

Two things on that call really stood out to me and I have to say, after six weeks I’m a major 2 litres a day convert. Let me tell you why…

Water…gives you wings?

I’ve been a Red Bull addict, I’ve been a major coffee addict (hello, 15 cups a day) and more recently a sugar addict to get me through the many slumps of the day. Waterdrop’s founder Martin Murray was on the call and he was saying that he drinks 2 litres of water every morning before 11am and claimed it gave him incredible energy that lasted all day. 

This, I thought, is what I need. I’m always feeling dehydrated, suffering from headaches and dry lips, especially in winter when we all become shrivelled prunes from central heating. 

So I tried it, and it was hard. I legit felt like I was almost drowning myself at first but after a little pacing from when I first got up, I managed to get in a really good routine and guys…it works. 

Water. Free, healthy, hydrating, good old water…is my new energy drink of 2021. 

So what’s the link with Suki Waterhouse?

Well, on 27 December they launched an exclusive collaboration Suki Waterhouse x Waterdrop which includes a gland water bottle designed by Suki, as well as a carrying sleeve, reversible tote bag and Waterdrop taster packs. 

The design Suki came up with is based around waterlilies. Our editor Laura has the set and we can confirm, it’s super gorge.
