I have a goal of 89 ounces but I swear it feels like I am floating and walking the rug bear to the ladies room at work!

    A gallon or No less than 74.4oz. That's how big my water bottle is and I finish that bottle everyday.

    Between 67.6oz (8 cups) to 101.4 (12 cups). Just depends on how thirsty I feel. I always drink a full 16.9oz after I do my morning weigh in and before I eat anything. Then I do another 16.9oz before I eat any meal and then drink through the day as I feel thirsty. Anytime I feel hungry, I drink at least 8oz and then wait a few minutes to see if I was really hungry or just thirsty.

    When I first started upping my water intake, it felt like I had to go to the bathroom all the time. It's much more manageable now that my body has gotten used to it.

    8-12 cups but that could increase to 2 gallons in the summer when I work outside.

    I aim for 3L , and I'm in the loo every 30 or so minutes. My body still hasn't got used to this amount of water. I need shares in a toilet paper company!

    Tons. Way more than the eight 8oz glasses. I don't count, though. I just drink to my thirst.

    Unless you have a physical or psychological issue that causes your sense of thirst to be impaired, just drink to your thirst. You don't have to follow any rule. :)

    Probably 70-100 fluid oz per day, on the high end when we include tea and coffee.

    about 2.5 liter a day next to my 3 blacks coffee in the morning, 1 of 2 tea in the afternoon. And half a cup of almond milk.

    8 to 10 cups. I'm very careful to not drink too much water, actually because I ended up in the hospital, on an IV, with dehydation from excess water.

    I was always taught to do your weight x .68 and that should be your water intake. I try my hardest to get over 100 ounces a day but I don't make my goal very often. I should probably try harder. haha.

    110-128 oz on workout days, with added electrolytes
    90-100 rest days

    At minimum 84oz. Most days I aim for a whole gallon. I have found that if I don't drink this much the next day I will weigh 2-3 pounds more. My body is weird, I know.

    How do you become dehydrated from drinking more than 8-10 cups of water a day? Water hydrates. It doesn't dehydrate.

    You didn't become dehydrated from drinking more than 8-10 cups of water. You more than likely had low electrolytes which is why they gave you an IV (sodium chloride).

    About 80 oz a day. In the bathroom every hour (at least) kinda sucks, and it's been like that forever but it just seems like I'm thirsty alll the time.

    Dehydration? Normally it would be over-hydration. they would put an IV on you to add electrolytes back into your system which too much water would have washed out
    I could certainly be wrong but that seems unusual

    I drink like three liters of water per day, maybe more now since it's summer where I live, but I also drink three cups of green tea on average =P

    "The IOM report did not specify requirements for water but made general fluid intake recommendations based on survey data of 91 ounces (that's 11-plus cups a day) for women and 125 ounces (15-plus cups a day) for men. Remember, these guidelines are for total fluid intake, including fluid from all food and beverages."

    I have a 24.9 water bottle and I fill it up 3-4 times a day.

    Around 100-140 ounces per day. If I'm drinking something other than water, like soda, juice, or almond milk, I drink way less.

    I don't know, I am sure it varies. I just make sure Im hydrated. I don't track it at all. Water has no calories and all I need is to stay hydrated. Water has no magical power beyond that.

    At least 3L/100oz, but that's just how much I tend to drink and not a goal.

    For a long time I would,never really get thirsty and drank little. However clearly it didn't affect me. I developed some sort of super thirst after I had my first child and it stayed that way.

    2 litres (67.6oz). That's 4 500ml bottles, the same amount every day.

    Between 1l and 3l a day. Yesterday it was 3l, but I did play a roller derby scrim. On an average day it's about 2l, being a teacher and needing the loo all the time doesn't work so well!

    generally between 180-200 fluid ounces a day, I count all liquids. The bulk of it, usually around 175oz or more, is straight up water though.

    Too much water can kill you
    If you are dehydrated, it dilutes what electrolytes you have left.
