How much water do you drink per day

[Mike Isles 583]

I always thought I drank a good amount of water per day (I didn’t). When I started paying attention I realized it wasn’t even close. I now drink a minimum of 72 ounces water. 

[Utilit99 4,099]

A lot.

There's water in beer right?

Coors light is all water. 

[BufordT 429]

A little more than 2 liters. 
 

If I get little headaches after drinking alcohol I know I’m not drinking enough water.

[avoiding injuries 1,534]

Reaching a gallon is hard for me. It takes dedication throughout the day. Naturally, I’m 1/2 to 3/4 gallon a day. 

[posty 2,641]

No enough for sure...  The only time I will drink water is after working out, yard work, playing sports or like this past Monday when I went on a college tour with my son and it was like 95 degrees out...

After that, I don't touch it...  Just never been a fan to just drink it to drink it...

I used to drink more than I do these days.  I should try to get back to that.  I never count but I would say around 40-50 oz a day of pure water.

I count when at my desk. Have a water cooler and 12 ounce cups (fresh cut lemons in refrigerator as well). I collect the cups during the day to keep track. 
What I drink at home after work is not tracked and considered bonus water. 

[porkbutt 893]

probably up around 72oz. at least 4 of the 16oz bottles a day.

i only drink water, beer, whiskey and milk.

[MTSkiBum 1,620]

I would estimate between 60 and 100 ounces on an average day.

More on the weekend when I am drinking beer as well. Like bufordT stated, it helps prevent hangovers.

[IGotWorms 4,057]

I try to stay properly hydrated but it’s tough. If I’m mindful probably at least 72 ounces per day, which I’m sure is still not enough

[Herbivore 1,119]

Probably 2 liters of soda water from the soda stream

[Hawkeye21 2,388]

Not enough.  Maybe 40oz of water a day.

[Utilit99 4,099]

OMG. I feel so relieved knowing how much water you all drink.

[jerryskids 6,616]

I try to drink a gallon a day (128 oz), largely because the chemo makes my body work hard but it’s good for you in general.  It’s hard for me to swallow (heh heh) so it is a bit of an effort.  My Garmin watch has a convenient tracker with buttons for 8, 16, or 24 oz; I usually do 16 oz increments, or 8 glasses.  I don’t care as much about the absolute amount, but the tracker lets me know if I’m falling behind pace.  

The recommendation I’ve heard is 1/2 in ounces of your body weight in pounds.  So for most of you fatties over 250 it’s still around a 128 oz.

It’s a better conversation then who you voted for.

Damn. I thought the recommended amount was 60 ounces- not that it was based on body weight- I’m not 120 pounds so if true I am certainly under hydrated

If yer pee is yellow you need more water fellow.

Not really. One has an impact on our future and the other is a question about how much water does the commie herbie drink?

Earth to dullit99. Nothing said or discussed here on this lightly trafficked message bored has any impact on our future. 

[Djgb13 2,339]

I tend to drink a lot anyway. Especially with meals. Which is why I stopped drinking soda. I could easily go through 3 cans during 1 meal.

You buy water in a can ?

[Cdub100 3,863]

Timhack thinks water is poison because if you drink to much you can hurt yourself or even die.

[HTH 95]

4 liters.

[titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745]

When I'm not working, not enough.

When I'm working, at least 4 liters. I sweat like a beast around here though. I'm sure I'm chronically dehydrated.

I never thought of this before. Do people ever say they are chronically high?

[KSB2424 3,148]

Not enough.  Thanks for the reminder.

Remember the footage of the highway that went from Bahrain to Iraq? And how the Americans just blew the holy s*** out of it and anything on it? Yeah, that's what a scan of my esophagus looks like. So I drink ice water constantly. It's the only thing that helps.

 

 

[Bier Meister 1,669]

We keep bottled water in the house... about three - four 16.9 oz bottles/day

I would think milk would be better. Coat the esophagus and such.

Half my body weight per day, including that water.  

[Cruzer 1,995]

Not quite a gallon, a good 3 liters though.
