Okay so yesterday was the first day I drank all the water i needed to in a day.
Now today im already halfway done chugging the first bottle (out of two bottles) It should be that i dont finish this bottle until lunch. But right now I am super thirsty. I already drank half of my water for the day.
So...should I drink more than 8 8 ounce glasses of water a day. Its so weird yesterday i thought this wasa ton of water.
Any suggestions
thanks

there is, but if you're still thirsty... drink more.
the folks that drink THAT much water aren't likely going to be thirsty... at all... it takes a LOT of water to get to that point, nothing close to the amount that you're gonna be drinking.0 -
I drink anywhere from a gallon to two gallons per day...just drink when you're thirsty...you don't need a stop watch or anything.0

My nutricianist just told me take your weight and devide it in half. So if you weigh 140 drink 70 oz. MINIMUM! You really can't have too much.
She also said if you are still thirsty when drinking a lot of water, you need electrolites to help your cells absorb the water and just not pee it out.0 -
8 8oz of water really isn't that much..
I drink at least 3 litres of water a day and another litre per hour of exercise. Most people I know aim to drink a gallon a day.0 -
Thirsty=drink
Not thirsty=no drink
Don't sweat it.0 -
"Too much water" is a lot of water. Don't worry about it.0
-
You could try adding a little lemon or lime juice to your water - sometimes that makes it more thirst quenching. Other than that, if you're thirsty, drink.0
-
Once I started making myself drink more water, I found that I was thirsty more often, and craved more. It's normal!0
-
mmmm water.0
-
as long as you don't have a heart or kidney condition you can drink all you want! Did you eat very salty? Maybe that is the reason why you are more thirsty today!
Oh and don't set time limits for drinking water! Maybe to get in a minimum, but not a maximum. So maybe you are thirsty now and drink less and later when you should finish your second bottle you have to force yourself!
So better drink it now and maybe more water later!0 -

You sound plenty hydrated. Try putting a bit of lemon in your water to quench that thirsty feeling.0
-
I think I read somewhere.. that chugging water hydrates less effectively than sipping it over a longer period of time? Not sure.0
-
If you are still thirsty, your body is telling you to drink more. You should listen.0
-
My nutricianist just told me take your weight and devide it in half. So if you weigh 140 drink 70 oz. MINIMUM! You really can't have too much.
She also said if you are still thirsty when drinking a lot of water, you need electrolites to help your cells absorb the water and just not pee it out.
^this. You probably need electrolytes, especially if you're working out and/or decreasing sodium in your diet.0 -
Then drink more
It's not complicated0 -
If you are thirsty drink something. It's only possible to drink too much water at once.0
-
I carry around a gallon of water with me EVERYWHERE and always have to refill it before my day ends.
Hell, water is good for you, drink it. (:0 -
I think I read somewhere.. that chugging water hydrates less effectively than sipping it over a longer period of time? Not sure.
This is pretty much what I was going to say too. Try drinking slowly throughout the day instead of chugging and see if that makes a difference. The body can't keep up with sudden intakes like that and will just force the excess through.
As far as the too much water scare - that stems from stupid radio/college kid challenges where people chug crazy amounts of water at once and get sick. Drinking 8 cups a water per day or half your body weight in ounces (weight in pounds divided by 2 = ounces to drink) won't cause problems.
If you're worried, urine color is usually a good indicator. Darker yellow (especially with odor) - need more water. Very pale yellow - ok. Clear - maybe cut down on the intake a bit.0
