    It depends .. some days (like today) I'm really good and drink anywhere from 80-100oz. Other days, I don't do as well and MIGHT get the 64oz I should get.

    coffee & water is all i drink.. so i guess i drink till i pee once per hour LOL! I drink at first sign of hunger... i think not only does it fill my belly for a few minutes and give me time to prepare wo/snacking, and think about what I'm really going to eat, but also it's like cleansing when you rinse your system down w some water while it's feeling a bit empty... and the COLD burns a few extra calories... gotta love it.

    I take 3 32oz bottles plus two club sodas to work and usually have one before and one in the evening. I do drink a lot of water.

    Take ur body weight, divide by 15...that is the number u r suppose to drink a day.. my number is 20... (cups)... I try to get to half minimum, 15 is a good day for me, and have only hit 20 like 3x in 8weeks... 16cups is a gallon. I drink out of water bottles that I refill with squirt tops...straight out of cup is harder for me..

    Any caffeine drink depletes ur water...so if u drink coffee, caffeine tea, or pop, be prepared to drink even more water just to replace what the coffee took away. So when I drink 1cup coffee, I then have to drink 21cups water... and excercise also requires additional water.

    Part of it depends on how active I've been for the day -- some days I'll drink upto 6 liters!!

    I try and drink at least 9 cups of fluids a day. Due to not having a large intestine anymore, i have to drink a lot of fluids to prevent rapid dehydration. I usually drink water or herbal tea everyday.

    There are 4.23 cups in every liter.

    I drink 16-20 cups of water per day. I was up to 22-26 for awhile but I started getting swollen limbs and fingers and had to cut back. Everything went back to normal when I reduced my water intake.

    I shoot for drinking about 100-120 oz. of water daily. I struggle to make this goal on weekends since we are out running around, but I try to get close.

    I try to drink the recommended amount of half by body weight in ounces which for me is 13 glasses (8 ounce servings) but I tend to drink around 15ish.

    Yes, I am part camel!

    I make sure to drink at least 4 bottles of water a day. Just over 9 cups of water. I want to drink more, I see a huge difference in my energy levels and skin because of it. I never drank water before I worked out. I got my water intake from pop :blushing: I dunno how my kidneys haven't failed me lol.:huh:

    wow! i guess i'm in the minority here. I am up to about 4 cups per day. I know that is not enough, but it's never hot here, and i'm just not thirsty. Plus, i have a bladder the size of a pea. I usually wake up and i'm thirsty, but by the time i get downstairs and have my 1 cup of java, i'm not thirsty anymore. I drink the rest in hot tea. usually 0 glasses of actual water. my bad .

    120 ounces of water a day, a person should be drinking half their body weight in water and adjust it accordingly as they go up or down on the scale to stay properly hydrated.

    Drinking 4 to 6 32oz bottles a day. (Not counting the water in tea or coffee.)

    Its a significant increase from my previous habits. I swear I'm about to grow gills. :)

    ok, i just bought a really cute little glass water pitcher. I going to keep in on the counter, and make it my goal to "git r dun"
    I am going to try the xx-small glass method. It's easier to down 4oz. at a time, than a big glass.

    2-3 litres. I have a 1L bottle with a sport top and I fill that twice during my workouts and then 1 or 2 times when at home

    When I first started this in February, I'd do 7-8 cups but lately I've been doing 10 and in a few cases 12. Yay!
