How much water do you drink?

[binka_nugget]

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?

[Suki Wingy]

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 am much better about it during the week then on the weekends. At work, I try to drink 4-6 16 oz glasses a day, then I ususally have at least 1 bottle at home in the evening. Weeknds....not so good!

Me too!! And then I start feeling icky and realize it's because I'm not drinking enough (or any) water!!

Probably not nearly enough. Drinking lots makes me feel full up all the time. I think I drink more coffe than water.

[Catty1]

I usually get 6 - 8 cups in. I didn't have this habit til a few years ago...and I read that many people are more dehydrated than they realize!

I think a person is supposed to have 2 cups of water for every cup of coffee? I drink swiss water decaf, so don't know what difference it makes.

When I had a slight headache and all the day after my surgery last year, the nurse had me up my water intake (she added diet Ginger Ale at my request! LOL). That flushed out the morphing and anesthetic, and I felt better! Water's a great cleanser!

I drink ALOT and I mean ALOT at work, I work outdoors and it's SO hot. But at home in A/C I'm fine. When I'm out with friends I usually drink soda or something.

I know from your picture that you work at Six Flags.....THAT is a hot job!!!!! I know the Six Flags over Texas is like no breeze in an asphalt jungle!!!! I'm glad you do drink lots and lots of water to be safe!

I LOVE water and I think I drink to much of it. I always have a glass of ice water within reach and a bottle of water with me when I leave the house
I do drink coffee in the morning and a glass of tea once a day and that is ALL I drink.. coffee, 1 glass of tea and water.. (sometimes I make it sweet tea, other times unsweetened.. I like both)

[Jessika]

None, sadly, or very little... sometimes I'll fill up a HUGE glass and drink it because I'm so thirsty and its close to bedtime and I don't want/need the caffeine keeping me awake... but otherwise... I hate water. I hate the taste. And yes I know water is "tasteless" but any avid water drinkers know that yes, it DOES have a taste! I hate tap, I hate bottled, culligan water is probably the one thing I can stand to drink without being forced to, and my inlaws DO have a reverse osmosis filter on their sink I don't mind drinking out of. But on the whole, I stick to soda, tea, lemonade, juice... HJ always tells me how dehydrated I am and I'll drink a big glass but otherwise I can't stand it

Water is my drink of choice, I defiantly get my 8 cups a day.
