Poll of the Day > How much water do you drink throughout the day?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Started doing a gallon a day for the supposed health benefits
---

One bottle of water before lunch, one during my lunch workout, and one after lunch. Then at least 2 cups morning and night to take my meds with, as well as any other sips from the fountain when I go to the bathroom or get thirsty at home.

I think I drink enough because my pee is almost always clear.
---

None. All I drink is milk and soda and sometimes tea. I'm prob gonna get fat.
---

2 bottles normally. Around 7 when I work outside.

No.

I'm not really sure actually. A lot of the water I drink is from me slurping it up out of the tap. Who needs cups?
---

Ya, I don't know, I drink a cup from the tap whenever I get up
---

I drink when I need to, there is literally no health benefit to forcing yourself to drink water. That said, I only drink water when I am thirsty, nothing else.

If I had to put a number on it, I guess something like half a gallon on average? Some days I can get away with just a single 32 ounce bottle, some days I need a gallon.
---

I'm always thirsty it seems. On a light day, probably 2-3L. On an average day, probably around 4L. On an exercise heavy day, often over 6L.

This seems about right for me,though 6L sounds a bit high in my case,more likely 5 L.

All the water.

I make it rain.

I had a friend, many years ago, him and I where the only two out of a group of 50 or so friends that would hang out, that didn't do any drugs (the rest all took speed to stay up all weekend primarily).

Anyway, he didn't drink water at all, only coke. I moved away to meet my wife and traveled back a few years later.


He had lost all his teeth.

So yeah, don't do that.

I am drinking soda again (I stopped for dieting reasons for years), but still in moderation and I drink about 1/2 a gallon of water a day or so. Sometimes I have tea, sometimes soda but not every day.

About 220 ozs

Really? Almost 2 gallons seems like a lot. Do you need to force yourself to drink that much or is that just your natural drinking habit?
---

Not enough. One tall glass every morning and before bed, and then I guess 2-3oz every hour or so in between? For meals I usually drink tea or diet soda if tea isn't available.

I just drink whatever feels like enough. I'm pretty sure the "eight glasses" or "two liters" or whatever they tell you is a myth. If I had to guess, I'd say I probably drink 48-60 oz on a typical day, and that seems like enough. I know it doesn't sound like much, but my pee is usually a decent color - not totally clear, but not super yellow either. Of course, if I exercise that day it's probably significantly higher.

I don't think about how much water I drink because it's all I drink when I get thirsty.

Not including booze/mixed drinks, all I drink is water with the occasional and rare iced black coffee or tea. Sometimes I'll bust open a pop because I crave the fizziness, but I can never finish a whole can. Things like pop and juice are just for mixing with liqour now, and I gave up milk a long time ago.

I drank almost 80 fluid ounces a day since Aug 2012 (College)


You just get really soft skin.

a shit ton. I go through a 16.9 fl oz bottle of water every 30-45 minutes.

Wow! Do you consciously try to drink that much water, or do you just naturally drink that much?

No it just comes naturally, i am just naturally very thirsty. I always knew that the people around me always commented on how much water i drank. And i finally measured it out.

yeah that's a good, and logical question. Of course i use the bathroom frequently. During the time when i'm drinking a lot it's around once every 1 1/2 hours. I don't consider it a huge nuissance though it only takes a few minutes to take a piss at most.

I use one tall glass to drink water 8 times in one day. Then I do the same the next day etc


Problem is that I go to the damn bathroom every hour or else I pee my pants

All I drink is water throughout the day. I have a glass of milk with breakfast, a coffee, and then straight water.

I have a 20oz blender bottle I fill up at least 10 times a day.

And yes, I'm peeing every hour or so.
