    I checked this with my dietician, and was told that it doesnt have to be plain water. Any drink, tea, juice, etc, counts...apart from 2. Coffee and Diet Coke...

    Lucky i get through so much tea :)

    I try for eight but to get to that, I drink a bottle that will bring me to nine, so that's my usual.

    Yup. I drink 1 ounce of water for every 2 pounds I weigh. Then I add a cup for every 10 minutes of vigorous exercise... I love water :)

    Cool. I've also heard before that for ever 15 pounds, you are suppose to drink 1 cup of water. For instance, if someone weighed 120 pounds, they would need to drink 8 cups of water a day. I don't know how true this is, but it seems pretty accuate to me.

    Theory 1: half body weight in ounces... 16 lbs weight : 1 cup water
    Theory 2: 1 cup per 15 lbs.... 15 lbs weight : 1 cup water

    six of one, half dozen of the other...

    I drink upwards of 2 gallons a day and sometimes it is not enough. I do work outside in 100+ degree weather but I was still drinking about 1.5 gallons per day before summer hit.

    In colder weather I use herbal teas to try and keep warm without going totally overboard on caffeine.

    3 cups is my average unless I'm going to be out in the heat, then I add 3 more. I drink it plain, sometimes with ice.

    My goal is 150 oz. minimum. I go by the half your weight in ounces so for me that would be about 170 oz. Today I'm going to hit over 160 oz. My pee isn't clear unless I'm pretty close to 150 oz. I drink it plain and cold.

    I drink about 75 ounces per day (3 bottles) when I am trying to lose weight. MiO is an awesome enhancer. Tastes so good, and you put in as much as you want for the taste. And it's portable. So that's my new thing. Fruit punch flavored MiO.

    I drink between 12-16 cups per day.... I would not be able to drink half my weight - I weigh too much to do that and feel sick after 16 cups so that's my limit (that's a whole gallon anyways!). :drinker:

    ETA: I drink it plain and cold... sometimes I add ice if it's hot out and lemon if I'm at a restaurant but that's it!
