    I've never had a problem with my water, in fact I've been tested for diabetes because I drink so much. 5-6 750ml bottles each day at work plus 4-5 cups of herbal tea, then another 2 litres of soda water with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice at home... I think I down about 7L a day.

    I keep a 500ml bottle with me at all times, and I'll go through 2-3 of those per day.

    I used to suffer terribly from kidney stones. At one point the urologist told me to drink 4 litres of water day day. The habit of drinking loads of water has stuck and I'll drink about 6 pints a day, which I just found out is nearly 3,5 litres.

    I drink 750ml of water daily + 2 coffee's with mostly water, and a little bit of milk. And have 200ml of cordial with dinner. Have pretty much tried to cut out all fizzy drink.

    Not nearly enough, I've always struggled to drink water as I just don't like it, plus I hate tea and coffee so I don't take in water that way. I'm almost always dehydrated. I can manage maybe 2 medium-sized glasses a day. I know it's really bad, I'm trying hard to force myself to drink more, it's a constant battle for me though. I still drink fruit juice (mainly fresh orange) and sugar-free soda, but I'm also trying to cut down on that, so taking in more water is more essential now. I know it doesn't exactly have much of a taste, but what it does have, I can't stand, and unless it's very cold it almost makes me gag.

    Probably about 1.5l-2l of water a day, in addition to anywhere between 3 and 8 cups of tea.

    I drink 4-5 16.9 oz bottles of water a day, so 67-85 oz., 8-10 cups, or 2-2.5 liters. I could probably drink more, but I pee enough as it is.

    I love my Diet Dr. Pepper, and Diet Root-beer, but I am more so a water girl. I carry a 32oz. cup of water with me all day. I have to refill it about 4 times a day. Which mean on average I drink 16 cups of water a DAY!!! I love water. It's quick, easy, and most of the time free.

    There is a such thing as drinking "too much" water, but I don't know what that is. I'm probably on that scale lol.
    When I was younger I rarely drank water, but I heard that drinking 8 cups a day was beneficial to not just your liver, but it effects a lot of other things in your body too. I started at 8, and now I don't even think about it. Drinking water is just like dieting. It's a long term habit you have to work on to form.

    Good Question <3

    as much as it takes to keep me from being dizzy.

    I have low blood pressure and if I am not hydrated enough I get dizzy and weak...:sad:

    Usually takes 1 - 1.5liters of water a day add in some coffee and a diet coke or two..and I am good.

    3 to 4 32 ounce cups every day. And that's just the water.

    Throw in the coffee in the morning and the single can of soda I have at lunch and the occassional frosty refreshing beverage at dinner...I am well hydrated and pee clear.

    Around 1.5L a day of just water, then usually something else (milk, diet pepsi, juice, etc.) to around 2L. If I'm training or rehearsing, more water. I'm really small, though, so any more than 2L results in it just going straight through me ;)

    6-8 liters of just water and generally probably 16-20 ounces of other fluids.

    2 L at works + 1/2 L of tea + water at home = about 3 Liters.

    I think you should drink more than 1L; aim for at least 2 Liters a day. It will help with energy, digestion, and weight loss.
