Today, Odell spoke to the media and said the reason that he has a problem staying hydrated is because he “doesn’t like water”.
Via NJ.com
The Giants star has had a problem in two of the last three games where he has become dehydrated and headed into the locker room before the end of the first half.
“I really don’t like water,” Beckham said while holding a battle of water during his locker room interview. “I’m trying. I really just don’t like it. You know when you get that stomach feeling and it’s all slushy? I’m trying to stay hydrated. Sometimes, I just got to get an IV. It’s just necessary.”
Here’s the video of Odell saying he doesn’t like water.
“I really don’t like water.”
Odell Beckham, Jr. is literally ME (in this one instance.)

With water being 95% of the liquids entering my body, I can’t even fathom physically hearing “I don’t like water”
