Drinking regime is one of the topics that is much-debated. Failure to observe the principles of correct drinking regime threatens the health of children and seniors due to lack of fluids. The problem is, first, inadequate fluid intake, but also the quality of the received beverages. One of the major problems that lead to the fact that children drink inappropriate beverages may be that the majority of elementary schools have vending machines available with an inappropriate spectrum of offered sweetened and carbonated beverages. Result of long-term regular consumption may be an increase of overweight, obesity and increased tooth decay in children. The main objective of this thesis was to explore whether pupils of second grade primary schools comply with appropriate fluid intake during class. This thesis is also focused on finding the amount and preferences of drinks that students buy in beverage machines. Other partial objective was to find out what drinks children bring from home and whether parents and educators try to influence, through education, the drinking regime during class and range of drinks that children buy in school beverage vending machines. The theoretical section summarizes basic information about water in the body, drinking regime of the different types of beverages and the consequences of inadequate or excessive fluid intake. The practical part is the processing of data obtained through quantitative research mapping problems with drinking regime of elementary school students. The thesis may serve as a source of information for both educators and parents, or the founders of educational facilities. Recommendations made at the end may, in case of interest from concerned persons, influence and improve fluid intake of pupils in primary schools.
