I was just curious.....

How many glasses / Liters of water is everyone aiming to drink in one day??

I usually try to get in 3 L.

    That's almost exactly as much as I try to get. I am not sure where I got that number....but I am sure I saw it somewhere that was credible enough to start drinking that much each day. :)

    A gallon a day, not including coffee and diet soda(s).

    I go for just over that. If a "serving" is 8 oz, I go for 15 of those which is 3.5L. Somedays I get all of it down by 2-3 in the afternoon, sometimes I am chugging water before bed.

    I try to aim for my 2lt but I find it really hard some days.
    Most days I manage 1 - 1.5lt
    Something is better than nothing!!!!

    The formula that I've always used that makes the most sense to me is take your weight in pounds and divide it by 2. That's how many ounces you should drink. So I'm about 140 lbs, so should be aiming for 70 oz of water a day. More is always better though! :)

    I've been drinking approximately 1 Gal/day for a while now. It has many wonderful benefits.

    - curbs my appetite
    - softer skin (noticed this within a couple of days)
    - improves digestion and regularity
    - hair and nails grow like crazy

    Con: don't get too far from the restroom

    OO... I didn't think drinking anything more than 3 L was possible for me... I might have to aim for a gallon now = 3.7 L.

    I did notice it made a difference in my skin!
