    I'm not 'thirsty" per say...but I just like to flush my system and drink as much as possible. I also lose alot of water when I work out, so I like to replenish. I've researched water intake and for my weight/height...I'm not going crazy w/ too much water. It all depends on the person I guess... I personally love water, so I drink it. :smile:

    I usually lose track because I'm constantly drinking water. I eat plenty during the day, but my weakness is my appetite. If I go without eating for more than 2 hours my appetite kicks in. When that happens, I drink water. Water fills the empty spaces in my stomach long enough for dinner time to roll around. :)

    A lot.......besides 3-5 cups of coffee and the occasional glass of tea, it's all I drink. I can put down 2 20oz bottles in less than ten minutes after a nice run. :)

    120-150oz a day, depending on how much I'm home and what activity I did that day

    For people who drink 150+ why do you drink that much? Of course drinking too little water is a problem but being excessively thirsty can be a sign of problems too.

    On my average workout (a bit over an hour long) I can lose 4lbs or more from sweating; if I don't drink it back, I feel like garbage. I go to the doctor regularly so I know for me personally; it's not some type of disease, It's just how I am. :-)

    I also live in south central Texas,where it's normally 100+ for a good chunk of the year. If you don't drink enough, you will dehydrate quickly.

    I drink at least 72 to 100 ounces a day. I drink a lot because it helps me from bloating and it keeps me feeling well. It keeps my skin clear n if Im sitting at a desk all day, one easy thing I can do for myself is to keep water in. It is rare that I drink anything other than water, by choice.

    I have a 20 oz bottle and I try to drink 3-4 bottles worth per day. Then counting coffee, tea or water I drink out a glass, my guess for myself is 80+ oz a day. You?

    Going by your calculations (counting water, coffee, tea, etc., all water-based liquids) - I drink anywhere between 88-120oz per day depending (11-15 glasses; at least 8-10 of those are straight water).

    I also love Vitamin Water Zero, but I never count that in my water intake in my diary. I reserve my "water count" in my food diary to strictly pure water (tap or bottled). Everything else that's a water based beverage goes into my food diary.

    A minimum of 64 ounces of just water, every day. I also add some to my daily smoothie which I don't measure out, and sometimes I have other drinks.

    Same here in Arkansas......it's 100+ degrees a lot here (108 yesterday) and when I run 3+ miles a day in heat like that, I have to drink a lot of water ALL day to stay hydrated.

    I usually drink between 80 and 100 ounces of water a day. I actually love water...and I drink a LOT of no matter what I drink...tea, water, alcohol. When it's summer, I drink so much more. During the school year, I have to slack off bc I can't be going to the bathroom every hour!

    I love this idea of numbering the bottles. I lose track of how many I drink!

    I drink about 14 glasses a day. One bottled water equals 2 glass of water. I have been getting through 4 bottles during my workout and the rest comes throughout the day. It is easy to do; choose water over soda and limit caffeine drinks.

    To your health,

    I guess that makes sense if you live in a hot climate! I just can't imagine drinking so much, even though it has been pretty hot here in Ohio lately. When I hear about people drinking lots and lots of water the first thing I always think of is diabetes or diabetes insipidus... just making sure we have no undiagnosed medical conditions here, haha.

    I bought a tupperware reusable cup with a lid. It holds 24oz and I fill it up about 5 times a day. I take it everywhere with me.

    It's a legitimate concern. :smile:
