I drink 3L most days. Equals 100 ounces0

I read somewhere that you're supposed to drink half your body weight in ounces. I just drink when I'm thirsty & I also go by the color of my pee.0

I seem to average on 4-5 cups a day, but I try to get more in when I remember... most of the time I'm barely ever thirsty. I drink a bottle of water at school; it holds up to 4 cups. I'm probably not thirsty all the time because I fall asleep after I get home from my morning class. Too tired to think about it.0

yeah that's what I've read too. I don't think there's any hard and fast rules.
I agree tho, that drinking plenty of water is good for all of our bodily functions. The colour chart above is also a good rule of thumb, unless you're taking certain supplements that turn your pee darker, such as vitB

I drink around 3-4 liters a day, as long as I remember to refill my water bottle.0

And I also pee like crazy, but it's pretty clear pee0

112 ounces, more or less. On the days I drink less, I notice I seem to gain in water weight. If I drink more, I weigh less. I'm not sure how much more, but I can tell by the tightness of my rings.0

I am for at least 64 ounces a day, that's a minimum of 4 16-oz servings from my favorite Stitch mug Usually I make it more like 6+ mugs for a day though, I mindlessly drink from it more often than not and just keep refilling with a tiny spritz of 0-cal flavoring for a light taste. I can drink gallons when I do it that way.0

80 oz of water per day, plus 2 cups of coffee. I have an 18 oz water bottle I fill every time I eat, or snack. After doing this for so long I've found that I actually crave water now. A year ago I hated drinking water and made up any excuse I could not to drink it. If it didn't have flavoring or sugar in it, I wouldn't touch it. Oh how things have changed!0

Whatever I'm thirsty for. Though I notice my skin looks better when I drink a lot. Anyway, anywhere from 40 oz to 100 oz would be in my typical range.0

When I'm at work 3 or 4 glasses. At home much less. I tend to drink when I'm thirsty.

I don't measure it. I just drink when I'm thirsty. I'm typically well hydrated.
Confession: before 3pm I drink mostly coffee0 -
8+ cups0

10-14 glasses is my normal range. This does not include the 4-8 cups of coffee that I drink most days.
I am big person (height, frame size) and I am usually VERY active.0 -
I drink a lot. I live in a desert though, so that might have something to do with it. When I lived in Alaska (the rainforest with mild temperatures) I don't remember ever being thirsty! There are so many factors, like others said drink when you are thirsty and if your pee color is too dark drink more.0

6L easily. Although I am over 6ft and do a physical job which means I'm a pretty thirsty guy.0

Usually 6-10 cups plus coffee (4 cups )...more or less depending on the day0
