    A lot of water is a very good thing! I aim for 64 oz minimum, but usually I go over that. Especially days I run and sweat a lot.

    I weigh 145 and I drink about 4 liters on a good day. 64oz, is a bare minimum and most people do not actually get the amount their bodies need. I drink double that.

    Too much water (or anything really) can be bad.

    Strange but True: Drinking Too Much Water Can Kill

    Fortunately, I doubt you are drinking six liters of water in three hours.

    And it depends on how much water you are losing. Yesterday I did ~2 hours of cardio and drank 1 liter of water during that time.

    Most days, I drink 100-130 oz., mostly before 5 pm. After that, I don't tend to drink that much.

    A lot. I have a 20z water bottle and a water cooler right outside my office. I fill it up at least 3-4 times a day, plus what I drink at work or the gym (another 1 or 2 bottles).

    I drink about 210-300oz a day, if I run or do a bunch of cardio I try to get closer ro 300 than 200. Lots of bathroom breaks.

    Really? Over 2 gallons? Wow. That seems like a lot.

    I usually drink about 100 oz. I just find it goesdown easily now that I drink it on a regular basis.

    I drink 1 gallon daily (for the most part, every so often, I miss that goal)....That's 16 cups or 128 ounces daily.

    I'm usually right around 100 oz also....6 bottles a day (and yes I use the same bottle over and over again!)

    I drink 8, 8 ounce cups, so about 64oz a day. Some days more, some days less but that is my goal to shoot for. I'm about 120 pds.

    80-120oz not including tea, coffee, wine, etc. I'm always stumped when people say water tastes terrible or that they can't drink it.

    64-80 oz. minimum, but usually a lot more. And that's just water, not including coffee or tea or anything else. If I don't hit AT LEAST 64 oz, I feel super gross. Probably just a placebo thing but I'm just so in the habit that without my water I lose it a little bit.

    It depends on how much I sweat, how much salty food I have, and how thirsty I happen to be on any particular day. I do not track - I think that we humans don't give ourselves enough credit for knowing when and how much to drink.

    I average 80 ounces a day. This does not include my coffee, tea or protein drink.

    I always hit a gallon as a minimum and I'm usually between a gallon and 1.5 gallons.

    I drink whenever I am thirsty. Sometimes that's 4 cups a day, sometimes that's 4 cups in an hour.

    > I think that we humans don't give ourselves enough credit for knowing when and how much to drink.

    Bingo.

    I have my Contigo water bottle that holds 32 ounces and I try to drink at least 3 bottles worth. Sometimes I only hit 2, sometimes it's 4. It all depends on how thirsty I am and how much I've sweat.

    3-5 liters (.79-1.32 gallons/ 101-169 oz/ 12-21 cups), depending on if I'm running vs riding a bike/a break day.

    80-100 ounces of water daily. I drink a lot to feel full even if it doesn't work sometimes lol. I usually drink 3-4 cups a meal + random water drinking between meals

    I drink at least 64 oz a day of pure water, not including what I get from protein shakes and coffees (probably another 32 ounces of liquid there). I'm sure as I get more fit and can do sustained high levels of activity I will need more.

    I told my husband my pee is so clear I'm pretty sure it's still potable.
