    I drink above eight cups daily, I am only #13 right now and as I drink more, my pee is more clear.

    I drink between 1 and 1.5 gallons a day and my urine is never clear. Pale, yes, but not clear.

    I try to aim for around 6 liters of water a day. I use a Sigg bottle that holds exactly 1 liter to keep track. It varies because I also drink a lot of green tea. I don't count towards my water total. Sometimes my urine is clear or very pale yellow. Depends on the vitamins I took that day too.

    I think I weight 140 pounds ( I don't own a scale I use measurements instead). I drink about 14-18 glasses of water a day and about 3 cups of coffee a day (black) I have clear urine.

    Drink until you pee clear, be that 1 glass or 10.
    That's what I've always been taught.

    Just wanted to say that I pee bright yellow because I take a multivitamin - doesn't matter how much water I drink.

    I have no idea how much I drink a day, I usually log 9 cups on MFP but it's probably a lot more than that. I have a 20-ounce water bottle that I keep with me at all times and just refill constantly throughout the day. I'd estimate I drink anywhere from 1/2 gallon to 1 gallon per day. My pee is usually light yellow or clear, sometimes in the mornings it is a darker yellow though. :tongue:

    4-7 glasses per day, plus 16 ounces of black coffee and sometimes a 12 ounce cup of herbal tea. Currently, I am not exercising. When I do exercise, I drink more like 10 glasses per day, plus the coffee and tea.

    My urine is always very pale yellow, and sometimes clear.

    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.

    Wat?

    Is this due to a medical condition you're aware of and treating? If not I'd seriously ask a doctor about this. That does not seem normal or healthy at all.

    I weigh just over 215.5 lbs and drink anywhere between 110 and 120 ounces of water a day. I also don't drink soda, black tea or juices. Too many empty calories.

    1180ml = about 4.5 cups... (1 cup = ~250mL)
    Metric system for the win!!!

    I drink 6-7 imperial pints/3.5-4 litres a day & usually pee clear as long as I space water out throughout the day.

    A general rule is to drink a liter per every 60 pounds of weight, with a minimum of 2.5-3 liters a day. Your urine should be clear yellow or will be VERY bright if you are taking multivitamins (it should NEVER look like beer or apple cider dark....sign of dehydration or something more serious). I play mind games with myself and just get a 1 1/2 liter bottle of water and drink 1 in the morning then 1 in the afternoon to ensure I'm getting what I need.

    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.

    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:

    around 2-3l id say...sometimes more


    water green / black tea


    im peein every effin 30 min!
