Now I know there's a bunch of different theories about how much water we should all drink, some say 8 cups per day, some say it's 50% of your ounces in water per day, loads of different theories.

I drink 1 gallon per day which helps flush out any Uric acid from my bloodstream that cause Uric crystals to form and Bam, another Gout attack.

the only reason I ask is, and as you probably figured this part out is going to the toilet every 1-2 hours really get's old. What is your body weight and intake, and does it keep you hydrated and energized?

No input is bad input.

    I'm working on 9 glasses a day on average. Some days more some days a little less but I aim for 9. As far as my urine, it's clear. I know how you feel witht the restroom, but I am a teacher so I just can't get up and go whenever I feel the urge and when I do i have to take 26 little angles along with me. It gets old but my back feels so much better. For a while there I swear I was bathing in soda...

    I average 3-5 liters a day. Can be more when I work out or am out in warm weather.

    I drink between 48-60 oz of plain water and will have around 24 oz. of other various liquids (coffee, diet soda, tea). Body weight is 197 lbs, and that amount keeps me hydrated and energized into the evening. Most of it's consumed between 10am and 4pm, so morning I tend to be dehydrated and blah/lethargic. I could probably drink more, but not a huge fan of plain water, and get sick of crystal light/tea/coffee etc after awhile.

    I am 5'8" 204 lb and I drink around ten 8 oz servings of water each day.

    In addition, 10 oz of coffee and/or hot tea every day.

    oh and 12 oz of diet soda 2 or 3 days per week.

    I seem to be well hydrated and my urine's clear or nearly.

    I drink around 7 litres. My pee is usually clear unless it's my first pee of the day or I haven't gone in a couple hours. I must be so used to going pee every 30 minutes that it doesn't bother me to go that often. On the flip side, I can hold it for several hours when travelling.

    ETA: Water doesn't energize me.

    5'6 122 pounds.
    1180mL of water a day. My urine is still yellow, but its due to the vitamins I have to take and also some things that aren't suppose to be in urine. I also don't get the urge to pee a lot, I go twice a day on a good day.

    I don't track water. I just drink enough to keep hydrated.

    I probably take in about 100 ounces a day. Urine is clear, and if you think peeing every 1-2 hours, try every 30-45 minutes. :grumble:

    Up until now, literally none. I 'hydrated' myself on soda and coffee.

    I drink about 12 - 15 glasses a day and I'm all clear! When I first got I to the habit of drinking more water, I had to pee all the time and woke up a lot to go. After about three or four weeks my body got used to it.

    Your urine should be clear. I drink as much water a day to make sure that it's always that color. Today I drank 60 ounces.:happy:

    I don't drink enough water or should I say I hardly drink water. Im working on changing this! I drink a lot of coffee from morning to noon about 32 ounces plus other fluids.

    Im aiming for 8-10 glasses of water a day at 8 ounces each. I made it half way to my goal today and drank much less coffee!
