I assumed he meant without YOUR water, as in a natural disaster like a hurricane.

You can buy water and liquids, eat fruit for hydration.

Electricity. I can still function without that.

It isn't possible to live without water for 2 weeks, it is possible to live without electricity for 2 weeks. Honestly, I'm happy enjoying both.

Assuming it was only my house water and I could run out to the store for bottled water, I'd go without the water.

I make it a point to not answer hypothetical questions about scenarios that will never happen.

Of course, right now a lot of people in Texas are having to do without either. 150 years ago everyone had to do without electricity.

We were extremely fortunate this time around - we didn't lose either one with Harvey. Again, if given the choice, I would have preferred to lose the electricity and keep the water rather than the other way around.

Electricity. I've done it twice (13 days and 16 days) due to horrible storms. It wasn't fun, but it's the least essential of the two.
But it would depend on where you lived and the circumstances.

WELL, I would rather live so I go with no electricity...What a weird question.

Maybe OP should change his title to

No water period....meaning, would you rather die or have electricity for 2 weeks.
