I wont lie, ive had troubles doing my daily water intake but I have finally been able to drink 1 gallon a day finally. Iam working towards 2 gallon in the future, so how much water do you all drink daily and can one drink to much water?

TIA

    at least 8 glasses. unless i've had my 8 glasses i don't allow myself a glass of wine etc at night.

    Water comes first!

    I have one while breakfast is cooking, 6 during the work day, and one while dinner is cooking. It's easy enough if you keep a bottle handy. On days where it' s not appealing I add lemon, mint, or a herbal teabag.

    I'm not a big fan of water. If I work out I usually drink 8-10 cups that day. On days I dont work out I have my plain green tea in the morning, 12oz cup of water with my lunch, and about 16oz with dinner.

    I have a 32oz refillable bottle. I try to drink at least 3 of those per day, so at least 96 oz.

    I keep a 2 liter glass pitcher on my desk and fill it 2-3 times a day.

    I lost 40 some pounds but I don't do water much. I do green tea and regular tea, coffee. Everyone says drink it but I was able to lose it without drinking all that water.

    I've never understood the obsession with water. Being hydrated is one thing continuing to over hydrate just seems very pointless to me. 2 gallons of water cannot be helpful.
