How much water do you drink a day?
2004-10-13, 7:20 PM #1
Recently I started to get pains in my abdomen, and I figured it might be the onset of another urinal tract infection. I've had two in my life so far.

So I've actually started to drink water. I keep a cup by the fridge for water only and just occasionally get a glass. After I wake up, before bed, before I go to work, after I get home from work, etc. It's no where near the recommended 8 glasses, but it's enough.

So I started wondering how much water everybody actually drinks...

I drink quite a bit of water, especially when I'm active. I have to replace fluids like crazy. At least 4 quarts for a normal day. Up to 8 or more if it's hot and I'm active

8 glasses a day seems excessive, I drink 4 or 5 max, and that pretty much takes care of my drinking for the day.

Just for clarification, the 8 glasses deal refers to 8 oz. glasses.

8x8 = 64 oz = about 2L

Maybe I do drink that much...

I drink about a bottle a day(16.9 ounces) of Dasani a day about right now. Maybe two or more sometimes.

A LOT.

I have a 750ml bottle in my room, and one on my desk at work. I'd drink probably 1-2 bottles before I go to work, 3-4 at work, and 1-2 after I come home.

So anywhere from 4-6 litres per day.

Yeah, I go to the bathroom heaps :)

I need to drink way more.

I voted: That one full glass after I brush my teeth.

I just don't like water, it never has appealed to me. Milk is my water.

I drink it tons when I have nothing else to drink except kool-aid. When I have some kind of soda to drink--screw it. But seriously, I can drink like...8 bottles a day, easily. And that's 16.9 ounces.

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Not enough. I often pay the price for it, too. I really need to start drinking more.

If I don't hydrate, I feel like crap, Headache, tired, etc.

Water, as in all by itself and not as a part of something like juice? Sadly, I only get pure water when washing up in the morning. Only once in a while I get some from a fountain when I'm too poor to get a soda or sobe.

I only drink water, juice, and soy milk. Most days I stay well hydrated (my urine stays clear).

I can't remember the last time I actually drank water just to drink water. Seriously. I just get whatever water is in my food and drinks, and it's enough.

I usually have a couple of glasses a day. Plus I take a bottle of water to class.

I was tired of paying for bottled water so I went out and bought one of those carbon filtered things that go on the faucet, and the water is much better now.

Our tap water tastes like s*** and is so hard that it's probably half lime and mineralization, so a good filter makes a huge difference.

I drink about 5 tall glasses of water a day.

I've always had a sneaking suspicion you were one of those water nuts. ;) The generalization just fits you so well.

2l is just about enough for the average adult.
On hot days or when you are very active you need about 4-6l.
We had that in school last month and we learned that most fluids don't count as water, ie coffe, lemonades, tea, alcohol, milk.
You get headaches when you don't drink enough.

I love water. I do like sodas, kool-aid, ice tea and so on, but most of the time I will take a glass of water over all those.

I proably have somewhere around 3-5 liters a day, mattering which day. Water > *

Don't trust the "8 glasses a day". It depends entirely on your age, size, how hot it is, and how much exercise you do. If your urine is clear, you're drinking enough water.
The music industry is a cruel and shallow money trench where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

Agreed...I usually drink 3-4 glasses a day... it's usually enough for me(these are pretty tall glasses).
No sig.

I think it's actually supposed to be 8 cups a day.

I can't drink just water. I hate the taste.
Hey, Blue? I'm loving the things you do. From the very first time, the fight you fight for will always be mine.

If tea counts, I drink about 8 cups of water a day... but they are like 20oz cups.. so..

If tea doesnt count, like 6 20oz cups.
