Why does water taste different when I've drunk alcohol the preceding night?

Things your body need taste better. That's why preggos crave weird things and some people eat dirt.
"Hunger is the best sauce" so they say.

Some kind of neural response to avoiding a dehydration situation?
>>7996617
Because you're dehydrated
Why does water taste better (subjective) after it's been sitting around for a day or two?
>>7996684
Cuz there's bacteria and shit growing in it. Yum.

could also be chlorine evaporation

Dissolves more CO2, carbonic anhydrase on our tongue senses the reaction and tells our brains it tastes good
>>7996684
no it doesn't, wtf?

Funny, I was thinking the same. I don't know why, but out of all things in the fridge it tastes the "coldest". I wonder if there's something causing it to drop below the temperature of other liquids or just being the things on a basic level you wanted since you were born.

My personal taste. Sometimes I'll accidentally leave a glass full of water out on my desk or something overnight, and it always tastes "better" to me.

why does my drinking water taest different at night
>>7996745
Same.
I always thought it was the temperature or something it got from the plastic bottle.
I'll test glass sometime

it's likely it isn't a lower temperature but instead has a larger thermal conductivity and thus transfers heat away from your mouth at a faster rate. In fact with a little googling I was able to find out that milk's thermal conductivity ranges from .58 to .65 depending on fat content, while water at 20 degrees Celsius has a thermal conductivity of .6, so on average milk will feel colder. This also could explain why skim milk never seems to feel as cold as normal milk.

That's very interesting, thanks.

Milk is better to hydrate yourself but overall it's not really good for you.
