How much water do you drink?
Replies

not much. i look at my pee. if it's too dark by midday, i push myself to drink a bit more until they become clear.0

I don't even know. I just drink when I'm thirsty. On exercise or hot days I notice the water cooler bottle need to be changed more often.0

I atleast drink 2l a day.0

Definitely not enough

i aim for a gallon a day, but usually fall a bit short.0

I use 750 ml bottles at work and home. Generally I drink 3-4 of those. On workout days there is an additional 500-1000 ml. But I do admit it is summer. In winter it is less and there is then a lot of tea involved too0

I shoot for the advised 8 glasses a day. When it's hot and humid and I've been out and active in it, then I'll drink more. I think the most I've gotten in a day is a gallon - it was about 100 degrees out and very sticky, so drinking was about the only thing that saved me.
If I drink something like lemonade or juice or non-cola sodas, I will add that to my count. However, I don't count anything with caffeine in it as "water" since... yeah, caffeine acts counter to water. I also haven't been drinking much besides water since I started working to lose weight. My normal juice is really calorie dense. (I'm looking forward to drinking it again when I move to maintainence.)0 -
About 10-12 cups a day plus all the other fluids contained in the protein shakes and drinks, fruit and other things that I consume during the day. So, I'm not worried about hydration.0

Until Monday I was averaging 15-18 bottles a day. I decided that I'd help the environment and bought a water purifier and now carry around a milk jug. I've been averaging about 2 gallons per day since Monday. I feel like this is will be pretty regular for me. Yes I pee all day lol.0

I've never really known the optimum amount of water per day, but I've bought into both the 'gallon a day' and the 'your body weight divided by 2, and drink that in fl oz. I feel better with the latter. I am in the UK, and don't move around all that much.0

At least 10 glasses a day!0

I try and have 2-3 small bottles of water a day at work and I've got a half gallon bottle which I try to get through twice in the evenings!0

2-3 gallons a day0

None, as there's no need. I get my water from other sources, mainly coffee.0
-
Not as much as I'd like to, although there is always a bottle in front of me0

Not enough0

aside from 4 cups of coffee in the morning (technically 3 in the morning one in the afternoon, but i log it all in breakfast), one diet soda (right after my morning coffee), I drink water all day every day (im one of those people who CONSTANTLY drinks). I drink enough of it that i dont bother to be concerned with it, but by my estimate im at around 100 ounces right now, mid afternoon. I'll likely double that before i go to bed tonight, just based on how many times im likely to refill my cup. LOL

This hype around hydration and formulas to figure out how much water one should consume seems a bit nutty to me. If I drank that much water, OP, I'd lose my job. I teach. I can't just leave the room to pee whenever I need to. I try to drink a liter before lunch, a liter after, and another before dinner. I'm well hydrated and healthy. Any more than that, and I'd be jobless.0

I know I didn't used to drink as much as I do now. Now, I aim to drink at least 8 cups a day and usually succeed. I have a 32-oz cup that I'll fill a couple times a day (usually after one of my walks) and I drink a 16-oz glass of water with breakfast and again with dinner.
I read that caffeinated beverages don't count as water since caffeine is a diuretic and works contrary to adding water - so I don't count the single cup of coffee that I drink in the morning, nor the rare soda that I drink when I'm out.
I feel better for the increase in drinking, so I figure that I must be doing something right.0 -
Gallon of MTN Dew during the day. 1/2 gallon of pepsi or dr.pepper at night.0
