    I'm just gonna leave this here...

    You would have to drink gallons upon gallons in a short amount of time while eating virtually nothing in order to become hyponatremic due to water intoxication. It doesn't so much have to do with the quantity but with the rate at which you consume. Water intoxication is very, very rare and typically only occurs in cases where an illicit substance is involved or there was an underlying premorbid condition.

    I'm 204, drink 4-6 glasses (sometimes more) per day, and my urine is barely yellow, sometimes clear.

    I would like to thank everyone who took the time and posted their weight, water intake and urine results. From the information I gathered, the range varies from 0-2 gallons of water per day, not counting other drinks or foods.

    With that being said, I think I'm smack dab in the middle at 1 gallon per day, or average. My urine hardly ever changes color anymore, even when i go first thing in the morning.

    I think it's safe to say, I am hydrated. :)

    I'm 130 lbs and drink a gallon or more per day. I've noticed that it does wonders in decreasing muscle soreness. It also does make me feel so much more energized versus when I don't get my gallon in, although I will admit that I hate having to go to the bathroom all of the time. My urine is typically almost completely clear.

    I can agree with rjpittner as I have experienced the same exact things.

    I just started my life change Monday and I drink 90-100oz and urine has been clear ever since. Going to pee every hr is irritating but worth it. I feel a 100x better being hydrated, I didnt realize how slugish I felt until now.

    My average consumption of water is between 75 and 115 ounces of water. I have a liter bottle and I just make sure I am filling that up at least 3 times a day. Pee is almost always clear or very pale yellow, sometimes darker depending on veggies eaten/vitamins taken.

    Around 188 lbs and I drink around 8-10 cups a day of water. It's still fairly yellowish. I think it's because I just started eating and drinking healthy again.

    I use water to make the espresso for my lattes....probably a few cups a day. The rest of my fluids is from the milk in my lattes and foods.

    My pee is pee colored. Darker when I wake up and lightens up throughout the day until its just about clear.

    I just drink when I'm thirsty. I have water, black coffee (ex-Tim Horton's Triple Triple junkie here), sometimes a diet pop, and lately, a candy cane hot chocolate if I can fit it into my daily calories, so 8 cups-ish? My urine is pale yellow to clear.
