Obviously you need it to stay hydrated, but other than that...are there any benefits to it? Like cosmetic, health...etc, if anyone could point m eto a wbeste I'd appreciate it. I drink a decent amount o fwater everyday, but not the 8 glasses or so that is reccomended...wondering if I should start!

When I used to drink a lot of water I would piss a wicked lot, I just hated drinking water as a result...does your body eventually get used to it and produces urine slower as a result? so I dont piss every 2.8532 minutes?

I drink about 70-80oz of water a day and I piss around 6-7 times throught the day...I am used to it so it doesn't really bother me...

If you're peeing clear or a very pale yellow, you are fine. Drinking too much can be very annoying, especially if you are busy and it's a pain to go to the bathroom so often.

If, on the other hand, your urine is dark or cloudy, you need to drink more.

During exercise, sip water. If you get thirsty, it's too late. Thirst is too delayed and your performance will suffer if you wait for it to tell you when to drink.

Judge you water needs by this, not those one size fits all websites or fitness gurus advocating WAY too much water intake. Any time I have tried following their advice I end up going to the piss-pot every 15-20 minutes. I cut their suggestion by a third or more, and my pee is still clear, yet I go every few hours.

Drinking water is essential to survival.

Now, "drinking-water", as in those found in bottles for millions of dollars at your grocery store, is no better than tap.....though they usually taste better (read don't have any taste at all) compared to the iron or chlorene or whatever in your city/well water.

since I started drinking almost only water (2-3 liters/day), I've found that I've had much less skin problems.

i drink about 2+L in 8 hours of work. If I pee a lot I slow down. I obviously have enough water intake. if I dont pee often I know it needed it. I usually get head aches if I dont drink enough water. and my stomach hurts after eating.

I can run longer and workout harder when I've had a healthy amount of water in the days prior.

Drink water all the time. I hate getting up in the middle of the night to pee, but water is healthy. It can help you to lose weight as well.

Another benefit of drinking cold water is that it's a moderate appetite supressant and instead of nibbling at snacks you can just have a calorie free glass of cold water to fill your stomach and make you less hungry.

Water is the tool of SATAN!

Why else would it be clear?

Because he doesnt want you to think about it, because if you did, you would realize that he is inside of the water taking over your spirit and driving your mind towards evil!

Never drink water, and eat an animal of god or you will go to hell: The only surefire way to get into heaven is to eat seaweed and drink holy-juices.

Well the secret to good skin is humidity, not lots of water like I used to believe. ;)

Thats very true, I've saved a lot of money in food costs by merely drinking water. :)
