I drink a few sodas a day and that is usally it, I feel better when I drink more water, but I usually dont think of it.
02/27/2012
I voted "sometimes I drink enough" I used to drink lots of water but haven't been lately. I really should get into the routine of drinking water more often but it's so much more tempting to grab something else to drink than plain water.
02/27/2012
Not enough :/ I do a lot of walking and I'm always thirsty.
02/27/2012
I drink alot of Water and drink like a non-water drink maybe once or twice a week,lol. I notice that when I first stopped drinking soda, it would take like so much water to not be thristy.

I drink about a gallon of bottled water a day. I have migraines and frequent UTIs and I need the hydration. I don't drink anything most days other than water.
Our tap water is from a private well (in our front yard) and has been contaminated in the past with E. Coli and other bacteria, so we never drink it. I even run the dogs water through a Britta, but the humans in our house have to drink bottled water. Our water is just not safe.

I never drink water. I can't stand the taste of it.
02/27/2012
I try and drink water throughout the day and usually do a pretty good job of keeping a water bottle filled with me at work all the time, but if I am running around a bunch it's the first thing that goes by the wayside.
02/27/2012
I drink a lot of it. Sometimes I still have to have my sweet tea or Mt. Dew, but water helps keeps my hands busy and keeps me from eating!
02/27/2012
I drink about 6 glasses of water.
02/27/2012
I try to drink a lot of water. But often I have to force myself to drink it because I don't particularly like the taste of water.
02/27/2012
I will drink other things of course, but I have finally gotten to the point where water is the other thing I drink during a normal day.
The big thing for me was the water being cold. I love ice cold water, but I am not really into buying bottled water. So I started using these reusable glass bottles in my fridge and it has been great. I definitely noticed a difference in how I felt day to day, when drinking plenty of water.

I try to drink 8 glasses, but I need to have other stuff like fruit juices and vitamin drinks. I am kind of a health nut like that.
02/27/2012
It's a hard habit to get into. I drink too much coffee instead, usually
02/27/2012
If the question has a measurements choices it will be better. I drink a minimmum of 1.5 litter of water daily.
02/27/2012
The past year I started having kidney issues, so I have to drink a ton of water daily, no dark colas, and so on. I haven't had any caffeine in nearly 2 decades either!
02/27/2012
I don't drink as much as I should.
02/27/2012

I hardly drink any, but I don't drink much of anything else either.

I drink ALOT of water everyday. I'm always thirsty so I always have a bottle on me that I re-fill more than 7 times a day. I'm not drinking it for health benefits i'm just so thirsty and water is the only thing that helps. Juices and sodas don't quench my thirst.
02/27/2012
I tend to drink a mix of diet soda, tea, and water - mostly I drink a lot of water when I get up and before I go to sleep.
02/27/2012
The great thing about never drinking water is, when you do drink it, it tastes delicious.
02/27/2012
I really need to double - possibly triple - my water intake. Because try as I may, Dr Pepper and beer do not count.
02/27/2012
I drink a lot! Mostly in the form of boring old water.
02/28/2012
I drink a lot of water because I notice RIGHT away if I'm the least bit dehydrated.

I hate that it has no flavor, but sometimes my body just requires it to quench my thirst. Most days you can find me sucking down about three pots of coffee a day. Otherwise, I will fit some soda in there here and there. But as far as water goes, I hardly get enough. I just bought a brita water pitcher though and that has increased my intake of water because my water tastes soooo much better!

I drink tons of water. At least 6 glasses but usually more. My friends actually call me waterboy since I really never drink anything else

Atleast a cup. I need to drink more though. The last time I went to the doctor I had to leave a urine sample for a uti test and they told me that showed I was dehydrated.

I don't know how much water a day I drink, we are forbidden to drink from the tap here, so I buy two of those big arsed blue jugs of bottle water every eight to ten days, and buy bottled water from the street vendors too.
02/28/2012
I have four klean kanteens that I use on a rotating basis
02/28/2012
Coffee and milk are my choice, and some juice sometimes. I know, but I like it that way!

Just an FYI for those of you who don't drink water. We are made up of 60% water! Not coffee, or soda, or beer. Water. Everything else besides water will cause you to pee out extra water. You have to dilute the other fluids, juice included, in order to get rid of it properly. This causes a lot of health problems for your body. Plus, not drinking enough water is one of the main reasons of increased water weight from fluid retention. If you drink enough water, over a long enough period, your body will realize that it doesn't have to "hoard" water anymore, and it will drop the exta amounts that it was saving back to keep your body working as best as it can. Just try not to drink too much chlorinated tap water. The chlorine will kill the "good" bacteria in your intestinal tract, throwing off the balance of good vs bad bacteria, and create a yeast overgrowth. Not good! Go with a good filtration system, or spring water instead. Watch out for bottles of water labeled "pure drinking water", it's usually just tap water in a bottle.
02/28/2012
I only drink water or green tea, but I don't drink enough of it I'm sure. Too busy with the forums to get up and get a glass.
02/28/2012
i always drink water or juice, but im not very good about it. on college campus i dont trust the tap water, its very polluted, i can see stuff in it its cloudy, sometimes the hot water turns brown because they dont clean the water heater. so i only drink water i know is good, at home i wouuld drink 4-6 glasses a day, here, only a 2-3
02/28/2012
I only drink water but now that I am dieting I have to constantly drink it.
02/28/2012
I don't drink nearly enough water... it's a problem for me, and at one point I would keep a pitcher in the fridge and it would be my goal to empty it every day, but it's hard habit for me to keep.
02/28/2012
I try to be conscious of how much water I drink. I don't always drink as much as I should because I end up drinking at least a couple cups of tea a day, but water is the only thing I drink otherwise.

I drink approximately 5 glasses of water, plus a cup each of coffee, tea, coconut milk and 100% cranberry juice blend per day.
02/28/2012
Coffee in the morning and then water for the rest of the day.

Our entire family is crazy about water. My children were literally weaned on bottled water (see reason for never drinking our tap water above) and they learned to love the pure fluid that water is. My Man purchases at least 4 to 5 gallons of water per day (not really expensive, if nobody drinks pop, very little juice, no cow milk and only coffee for a few people in the morning) and we have a gallon in the fridge, one in our bedroom and each kid has their own gallon, plus a plastic drinking bottle in their room. They also take their refillable bottle with them where ever they go. My husband and middle daughter usually have a cup of coffee or two in the morning, but they both start the day with water.
I don't drink coffee, except in very rare situations (then it's filled with soy milk and raw sugar and chocolate like a dessert) neither does my little one. We rarely have pop in the house, and no cow products. Our youngest does drink some soy milk, but that is usually with her breakfast, she drinks water also at breakfast as well as all day.
Someone mentioned that caffeinated beverages dehydrate you and it's true. You have to replace every cup of coffee, tea, pop or energy drink you consume with yet an other 8 oz of water to stay hydrated, and those and the 8 oz to counteract them don't count towards your goal, which for most people is at least 6-10 8 oz servings of water a day.
True, our ancestors survived on little more than beer, hard cider and tea, but they lived in a time where most water was contaminated and boiling or fermenting killed the bacteria.... they also had an age expectancy of about 40 years.....

12 ounces to a liter a day. Not nearly enough. I'm working on it.
02/28/2012
im too busy drinking coffee and arnold
02/28/2012
well there IS water in stuff right?
02/28/2012
depends on the day. If I go to the gym, i can drink 4-6 liters.
02/28/2012
it depends on where I am working. Some jobs you do not have water nearby or can not carry around a bottle with you. Other jobs you can keep your water bottle with you. I drink alot at home, or in the summer time when it is hot outside.
02/29/2012
Not as mush as I am supposed to. I have a sweet tooth so I settle for soda and juices and flavored drinks.

I wouldn't say I drink a LOT of water every day, but I certainly try to drink enough! If I don't, I get horrendous cramps. Probably due to meds I take...

It depends on how my stomach's feeling. My entire life all I drank was water until a few years ago. When I was ill for those few years, it would upset my stomach so much! Water! How weird is that? So I had to limit it and that's really been rough because then I started drinking other stuff mostly DR.Pepper because something about it really soothes my irritation in my stomach. I drink Dr.Pepper right when I wake up to calm things down. No idea what it is about the stuff, but other coke drinks won't soothe anything! Lol. I still drink water whenever I get the chance though, but can't drink much without getting very bloated. Lately, I've started using Mio and nothing has ever made me drink like that! I love the stuff! I usually can't get much water down in one day, but I'll drink 8 bottles when I have Mio. The green is so good! It gives you energy (works well!) and is neon green. I've never cared for flavored water or anything, but Mio really does it for me. If I'm not using that, I might be able to get one bottle down. Not often though.

I try to drink a lot, but I find that I crave pop and coffee too much and have to stay hydrated.
03/02/2012
TONS. And tons. I'm always thirsty.
03/02/2012
I drink a lot of water because I tend to have a high sodium diet. But it is really healthy and now that its just part of my routine I don't really miss any alternative drinks, except caffeine when necessary.
03/02/2012
I try to drink about a gallon a day. Sometimes I make it, sometimes I don't.
03/02/2012
Water is the only thing that really quenches my thirst; so I drink it all day long.
03/13/2012
I have started drinking a glass of ice water each work day since it's free. Before I got this job (fairly recently) I never drank water regularly, but I'm starting to enjoy it again.
03/14/2012
I drink about a bottle of water every day, in addition to a bunch of other drinks.
03/14/2012
i prefer water
03/14/2012
Probably not enough
03/14/2012
I drink a few bottles. I try to drink as much as possible.
03/14/2012
I do drink enough if I have the foresight to bring my water bottle around with me, but that rarely happens.
03/27/2012
I have a 750ml Camelbak bottle that I refill constantly during the day. Usually about 5 or 6 times.
03/27/2012
I drink a lot.
03/27/2012
I drink more at work for some reason.
03/27/2012
I take meds throughout the day so I have to drink a lot of water, otherwise major drymouth and dehydration
03/27/2012
about 200 ounces.......runner with kidney problems
03/27/2012
I don't drink enough. I can always use more.
03/27/2012
Definitely not as much as I should.
03/27/2012
I drink plenty.
03/27/2012
I keep one of those big iced tea pitcher jar things with a spout in my fridge. It has lemon water in it. I usually cut the ends off the lemon and squeeze the juice out of the ends into the water and then just throw the rest of the slices in. It helps a lot because now I drink a lot more water daily!
03/27/2012
meh, not enough
03/27/2012
I have a hard time remembering to drink enough water. By the time I'm thirsty it's already too late.
04/11/2012
I try to drink as much water as I need to.Sometimes I drink less but,I try to get back to drinking a lot when I realize it.

I attempt to drink 64 ounces of water (two full Nalgenes) every day!

Water is about all I drink. I grew up on my mum's sweet tea, and it wasn't until I started carrying around a water bottle as a teen and caring about how much H2O I consumed that I started to notice how much better I felt when properly hydrated. I would guess that I consume 80-100 ounces on an average day.
04/12/2012
I drink a Minimum of 8 glasses a day
08/14/2012
Water hidden under some crystal light yum
08/14/2012
When I do drink enough water it's because I've been stocking up on crystal light. Otherwise I'm pretty guilty of not drinking enough water.
08/14/2012
Oh my gosh, I drink 100-130 oz of plain water a day. I feel like crap if I don't drink water throughout the day.
08/14/2012
I drink pure water only every once in awhile
08/14/2012
Staying hydrated is the first piece of advice I give my clients as a personal trainer. Three things your body needs whenever you're going to be active: Water, Sugar, and Salt. Plus, staying hydrated also increases your orgasms and ejaculate =P
08/14/2012
I dont make a point to drink enough water every day but I think many days I come close.
08/14/2012
I don't really pay attention to how much water I drink, but I guess sometimes I drink enough.
08/14/2012
Drink a few glasses every day, at least
08/14/2012
i really don't drink enough water!
08/15/2012
I love water. I drink a lot of it.
08/15/2012
lately not enough maybe 2 cups
08/15/2012
Yep! I get thirsty a lot and I try to satisfy that with about 90% water.
08/15/2012
I try to drink water when I remember
10/13/2012
not enough
10/13/2012
A lot.
10/13/2012
Just the other day I told my boyfriend to make me drink more water because I know it'll help my skin. I just prefer drinking other things, I never think "hm, water sounds really yummy"
10/13/2012
I generally drink 1-2 cups coffee then flavored water the rest of the day..at least 64 ounces a day. Not had tea or soft drinks in a year now! Try to avoid juices due to sugar content so water it is!
10/13/2012
I have a few glasses a day don't really keep count
10/14/2012
It's the main thing I drink, so at least 10-12 glasses per day.
