    5-14 glasses depending on the day. I sweated a lot today so I am at about 10 right now and going for more shortly. I drink until my body says it does not want anymore.

    12-16 cups.

    My urine is usually light yellow to very light yellow, so I know I'm well hydrated.

    The best way to make sure I am getting enough water is with every meal I have a 20oz bottle and I make sure the bottle is empty before my meal is done. It helps me eat more slowly and I am full when the meal is complete and I feel full for a longer period of time.

    3-4 liters most days.

    It was hard to get used to at first, but now I actually feel thirsty if I go even 30 minutes without a drink of water. I go through about 1L per hour exercising as well as my regular daily intake.

    80 oz of just water. Does not include any other sources such as coffee, tea, soda, etc. or water I drink during exercise.

    Over a gallon normally. And that's just plain water.

    I have a 32 oz mug that I fill with ice and water to take to work. I will generally refill it with water at least once throughout the work day. I will also have a cup or two of tea most days and if my husband and I go out for dinner I will usually have water, sometimes ice tea. I have more trouble getting enough water on the weekends or days I don't work. I can tell when I am not getting enough because I will get light headed.

    I've always had a difficult time getting all my water in each day, considering I used to (years ago) never drink it - would only drink milk and sodas, I consider anywhere from 36 to64 my goal each day. Some days I make it to 64, but most days hover around 48.

    I just finished a 101.4 oz jug. started at 6 am. Needed to rehydrate after a soccer tournament in the heat this weekend where we were in the sun all day. Usually right around 100 - 120.

    About 120 oz I think. I have a 34 oz water bottle I fill and drink 3 times during the work day and I don't count anything else but usually at least 2 more big glass of water in the evening.
