"Drink the Water" is a song recorded by Jack Johnson on the album Brushfire Fairytales released on February 1, 2001 under the Universal label.
It was inspired by an accident during a big surf where Jack Johnson wiped out and nearly drowned. He had hit an underwater reef on a fall and cut his head wide open. Jack was the youngest pro-surfer to be invited to the Pipe Masters.
The song also talks about the danger of letting fear set in while surfing. Jack believes that one has to believe that one can do it or else, no matter how talented one is, that individual will fail.
