32 fluid ounces of evil

It's day four of my fast and I have just completed my morning ritual of drinking 32 ounces of a salt water mixture. This is the worst part of the fast for me. Take my food away, deny me access to chocolate but don't make me drink this vile beverage! Today I heated the water up and tried to pretend that I was drinking a nice salty broth. It was better than drinking it cold and I discovered that if you make it super hot you don't even taste it as the boiling liquid scalds your entire mouth and throat. With that damage done I should be able to get through the next few days taste free. Woo-hoo! Who needs food anyway?
