    On average I drink 9 cups a day. I can't stand coffee, and don't like milk, juice or tea, its pretty easy. I do carry a Camelback waterbottle with me, it has a straw and holds 3 cups at a time. I fill it in the morning, lunch time, before dinner and sometimes once again in the evening.

    Every morning I stop at the gas station right by my office and fill up a 64 oz cup with ice, which I refill half way thru the morning and get more ice at lunch. I drink over a hundred oz a day this way. Ice cold through a straw helps me a lot! If I bring my own cup they don't charge me for ice.

    I keep a 4 cup (32 oz) container at my desk and make sure I drink it before I leave for the day. I also drink about 2 cups every day when I go to the gym, if not more. And then I drink another 2-4 cups at night with dinner and afterwards.
  • You should be drinking half of your weight in oz of water a day if that makes sense. I find it easier to drink more water from a straw. I use those plastic starbucks looking cups and its easy to get my water in.
  • I have a 1Liter bottle on my desk at work. I fill it up at night and stick it in the fridge so it's nice and cold when I get to work in the morning. I drink one of these before lunch and then another one in the afternoon. That's 8 cups right there. I usually have 2-3 more cups at night either with dinner or while working out. I'm not a fan of plain water so having it super cold helps me.
  • Get a cup with a straw and mindlessly sip water while on the computer, reading, or whatever. It's like when one mindlessly snacks in front of the TV, before ya know it the chips are gone!

    Its something you've got to try at at first, but then it gets to be more natural. I drink water from 16oz bottles throughout the day. I don't drink much of anything else, an occasional coffee an occasional beer an occasional fruit juice, but mostly its just water. My watering routine.

    2 cups = 1 16oz bottle.

    2 cups at breakfast
    2 cups mid-morning
    2 cups at lunch
    2-4 cups evening workout
    2 cups dinner

    Its fairly easy for me to get 10-12 cups per day.

    Carry around a 32oz water bottle that you can find at any Sporting Goods store or even a Wal Mart or Target type department store. I have one at home and at work. A 32oz water bottle is 4 glasses of water. Drink two of them and your 8 glasses are in for the day.

    I just like water! That and I tend to have either a 500ml (2-cup) or 1l (4-cup) bottle to hand and just drink from that :) I'm usually over on water though (I know I easily get dehydrated so I try extra hard to keep well hydrated)
