Based on a trainer's advice as well as a few internet calculations, I've been given the recommendation to consume approximately a gallon of water per day. I am around 5'5 and currently weigh 244lbs.

How much do you consume?

Do you also feel like a camel? ;)

    I strive for eight 8 oz. glasses/day...sometimes it's a little less, sometimes it's a little more. I don't belong to the "you must drink insane amounts of water daily" camp, though plenty of people are quite happy doing so.

    Drinking a lotta water is easy for me. I've done that long before I started on MFP. I'm almost constantly with a glass of water or iced green tea. So, whatever the recommended amount is, I guarantee I'm way over it.

    I'm putting a lotta wear and tear on my shoes, though, with all the trips to the men's room. :)

    Personally I aim for 8 * 1 cup of water. However, I also run and wonder if I should try and up it...

    about 4-5 cups. I figure I get the rest through my food. I'm on campus all day and having to pee constantly is too annoying

    Around 8-10 glasses a day. I wonder if there are health benefits to drinking much more than this though, like many people on here do.

    I probably drink 80-100 oz. per day. I carry around a camelback water bottle pretty much all day. Then of course there is the tea I drink in the morning and such, which is debatable on whether or not that counts towards water intake. But I would say I come pretty close to the gallon you were recommended.

    I drink a good 72 ounces (9 glasses) at work, then more at the gym or at home (which I don't track as much)

    About a gallon.

    At work I get a 2L pitcher and fill it with ice water, usually drink that throughout the entire shift. Not counting the Litre in my smoothie, and the litre or two i drink before/during/after my workout.

    Half my daily intake is shakes since I don't like eating at work, so that always puts me up pretty high.
