    I try and have 2-3 small bottles of water a day at work and I've got a half gallon bottle which I try to get through twice in the evenings! :smile:

    None, as there's no need. I get my water from other sources, mainly coffee. :)

    Not as much as I'd like to, although there is always a bottle in front of me ;)

    aside from 4 cups of coffee in the morning (technically 3 in the morning one in the afternoon, but i log it all in breakfast), one diet soda (right after my morning coffee), I drink water all day every day (im one of those people who CONSTANTLY drinks). I drink enough of it that i dont bother to be concerned with it, but by my estimate im at around 100 ounces right now, mid afternoon. I'll likely double that before i go to bed tonight, just based on how many times im likely to refill my cup. LOL

    This hype around hydration and formulas to figure out how much water one should consume seems a bit nutty to me. If I drank that much water, OP, I'd lose my job. I teach. I can't just leave the room to pee whenever I need to. I try to drink a liter before lunch, a liter after, and another before dinner. I'm well hydrated and healthy. Any more than that, and I'd be jobless.

    I know I didn't used to drink as much as I do now. Now, I aim to drink at least 8 cups a day and usually succeed. I have a 32-oz cup that I'll fill a couple times a day (usually after one of my walks) and I drink a 16-oz glass of water with breakfast and again with dinner.

    I read that caffeinated beverages don't count as water since caffeine is a diuretic and works contrary to adding water - so I don't count the single cup of coffee that I drink in the morning, nor the rare soda that I drink when I'm out.

    I feel better for the increase in drinking, so I figure that I must be doing something right.

    Gallon of MTN Dew during the day. 1/2 gallon of pepsi or dr.pepper at night.
