I was just wondering how much water everyone drinks on a daily basis. I try to get in 60-80oz/day. I know that 8 cups is what is suggested but some people may drink more or less.

    My biggest thing is to drink water when I feel thirsty. I don't want to FORCE myself to drink a certain amount but I shoot for around 60-70oz each day.

    If I am doing good I drink about 8 liters a day. I keep a water bottle w/straw filled at all times when I am at my desk. ...I should probably buy stock in Crystal Light!:tongue:

    I was told to drink half my body weight in water so i shoot for around 100oz a day around 12-13 glasses.

    I normally drink about 24-32oz a day, now that I found a Crystal Light that I love, (Green Tea Peach and Mango) I will be drinking more water, because I am only adding 5 calories to my 32oz. I get my taste and my body gets it water...

    96+oz per day. I find when I slow down in my water consumption my weight loss also slows down.

    Since i started on here, i stopped drinking soft drinks(almost). As a result, i now drink a lot of water, 8-12 cups per day on average, 64-96 oz per day. I read somewhere that a rule of thumb is half your body weight/day, in oz., so i would be about 94 oz. if i did that.:drinker:

    I drink about 64 ounces of water, sometimes up to 80 each day. I also drink 1 (or 2) 8 oz green teas a day and usually a glass of milk or juice (or both) that I don't count in the total. If I am supposed to drink half my weight, that would be 85 ounces, so I am close.

    I drink whenever I'm thirsty really. Not sure I even keep a count.

    I try to drink a minimum of 8 cups a day, but average about 10.

    @ ArchyJill
    did you really mean to type 8 liters? That could be dangerous. One SHOULD drink half their body weight in ounces of water per day. If 8 liters is what you are consuming that would put you at 528 lbs? Just curious, I want you to be safe :o)


    I too keep a bottle with a straw, its a 24 oz bottle and I usually try to make it to 100 ounces, now that I am lower in weight it is actually hard to adjust to less water!

    Half your body weight in oz? Half my body weight is 69 which is = 1104oz which is = to 138 glasses. That ain’t right, lol!

    I drink 10-15 depending on the day, I drink on the high side if I have something like a Subway footlong for dinner – high in sodium.

    Half your weight- so if half your weight is 69- you would drink 69 oz. Not half your weight in lbs turned into oz.

    lol pretty sure they are saying that if half your body weight is 69pounds, you should drink 69 oz of water. :-)

    No, I really do drink about 8 liters. But you have to remember that I am adding Crystal Light in which replaces some salt and whatnot and I eat throughout the day too. The only real danger in drinking too much is not replacing electrolytes and the only way you can do that is to do straight water and no food. I know this cause my hubby managed to do that when he had a toothache and I had to drive him to the ER and stay up half the night while they pumped him full of solution.

    I drink loads - I have just measured how much is in my water glass and there's half a litre and I drink about 7 of those a day

    I just actually took the time to figure out how much I drink a day, and it's absurd. Every time I fill my water bottle it's 3 cups(24 oz) I must drink 20 cups a day at least. Crazyness...is there such a thing as too much water? Keep in mind, the water used to be coke.

    Love this flavor of Crystal Light ! I don't add the whole packet to my 16 oz water bottle cause I just like a "hint" of flavor. I can usually get 3 water bottles out of 1 packet. My water intake is normally 32 oz with Crystal Light and 32 oz of plain water.

    Ha ha, thanks guys on the lb vs oz issue! Only 69 oz for me? Thats less than 9 glasses but I'll stick to my 10-15 depending on sodium level.

    i bought one of the Brita water filtration pitchers that holds 10 cups. i kind of have a system. every morning....i fill up a daily intake bottle that i got at wal mart by the pitchers and water bottles. it holds 8 cups. then i fill up the brita pitcher again. i make sure to drink at least a full daily intake bottle on a daily basis...not including coffee or smoothies and stuff. this makes it so much easier for me to keep track and its always cold. not to mention, im not going thru cases and cases of water every week. plus, im helping to save the environment!!!:happy:
