Drinking Water

Quit being a baby, man up, and drink your water. I can't stand grown adults who complain that they hate water. PFTTTTTT

YES!!!

This could be said about 90% of the problems here...

...but that doesn't make it any less douchey.

Found some info, thought I'd put it up.

Here is a good calculation for how much water YOU need, based on your weight. According to this, based on my weight, I would need 161 ounces of water. My mother, however, based on her weight would only need 82 ounces of water per day. When I get to my goal weight, I'll need about 65 ounces. This is to simply not be dehydrated. You need more after hard exercise, but you still want to be careful of overdoing it. A 1-litre bottle after exercising in addition to your regular intake should do it.

HOW MUCH WATER DO YOU NEED TO DRINK? WHEN TO DRINK?

To better determine how much water you need each day, divide your body weight in half. The answer is the approximate number of water ounces you should drink daily. You should drink half of your body weight in ounces. If you weight 200 pounds, you should drink 100 ounces water (3.13 quarts, 2.98 liters or about 10-12 cups of water a day). If you weigh closer to 100 pounds you will need only about 50 ounces of water or about four 12-ounce glasses daily.

Individuals who are physically active or live in hot climates may needs to drink more.

Hmm..according to you I should be drinking 11-12 glasses without exercise. I don't agree with this. On days I workout - I drink 10-13 glasses and on days I don't work out I drink 9-10.

This is about right for me, but I do caution those that up their water intake - especially when many are cutting back their sodium intake.

I would suggest doing 8 and see how you are peeing. Increase as needed, especially when exercising or dealing with climate changes. With the exception of when I first wake up...my pee is clear 95% of the time.


ETA: If I drink juice or tea - I will consider this as part of my water consumption for anyone that was wondering.

I have no problem drinking 3+ litres of water a day! I can get to about 5L if I tried! I have always been a fish.

I drink 18 to 28 cups a day. I like the taste of it so its no problem for me.
