How much water do you drink?

I'm trying to stick with a healthier lifestyle. I'm starting to run every day, and plan to ease into adding yoga and swimming to my repertoire. Included is eating healthier food and drinking lots of water.

I'm trying to drink 8 cups of water a day. I never realized how little water I drank until now!

So how much water do you drink on a daily basis?

I really depends on what I'm doing. When I'm at work, a lot. Probably near 6 cups of water and 3 cans of pop. At home on a normal day I may have about three and a can of pop. If I am riding, I usually drink a whole nalgene bottle's worth, plus whatever I have durring the day.

I always have a bottle of water with me. At my desk I have a 2 1/2 gal jug of water that I refill my 16.9 fl oz bottle with. The 2 1/2 gal jug will usually last me about 2 weeks. And this is just at work. I also drink lots at home. However, I drink lots of water, but I do not eat healthy enough and I need to exercise more.
This is funny, a co-worker and I were just talking about water intake yesterday. She hadn't even finished one bottle of water at 3:30 in the afternoon. She was upset with herself.

Usually at least 4 or so bottles of water - it is all I usually drink, unless we go out somewhere, and I get iced tea.

I drink about 5-6 litres a day. I am always thirsty!

I don't drink nearly enough.....I always feel better when I do make it a point to drink a lot of water.....I heard somewhere that you take your weight...and drink half of that in ounces...for example, if you weighed 150 pounds then you need to drink 75 ounces of water daily.

I drink A LOT of water (anywhere from 16 to 56 ounces a day). That's all I drink. I'll have one coffee a day. Occasionally I'll have a diet soda, but it's only when I go out to eat.

My skin is the best it's been in a long time. I'm sure my kidneys are in good shape too.
