How much water do you drink daily?

[96Firebird]

Out of curiosity, on average, how much water do you drink daily?

I've been trying to drink more water, since I used to drink nearly none. Of course, I had water intake through other methods, but I've started to drink actual water daily. I've come to realize it is not easy to consume more water than I used to. I guess it is a habit-changer, so I bought myself a water bottle and keep it with me.

I probably average around the 8 glasses (64oz) that is the usual advice, except on weekends when it goes down to 2 or 3 glasses on average. My bottle is 25oz, so I drink 25oz when I go to the gym on lunch break, 25oz between lunch and quitting time, and usually almost another full bottle before bed. Sometimes less, depending on if I remember to drink it while I'm home.

Does beer count as water?

now that i'm not lifting due to a shoulder injury, hardly any straight water. i used to drink like 100oz to 125oz while lifting (would fill my 28oz water bottle up 4-5 times during a workout). but at home or work i rarely drink straight water, which is a bad habit. i actually have a 32oz water bottle i keep at work that i used to fill up 3x a day, but recently it's been just diet soda. need to get out of the habit.

Close to a gallon. But I'm fairly active and don't really drink anything else except a cup of coffee in the morning. No milk, tea, soda, ect through the day.

Poll now up...

I usually drink a Gatorade while at work, and am trying to substitute water in place of the Gatorade. I also drink milk with my dinner, but I want this to be straight water only.

Maybe I should have upped the upper limit of the poll options... :hmm:

What's the difference between a garbanzo bean and a chickpea? I wouldn't pay 50 bucks to have a garbanzo bean on my face.

I drink about 2 liters a day.

Couldn't vote though because who the fuck measures out their water in cups?

Literally every single person in America? What else would we use? Oh, I had 724 teaspoons of water today.

You can buy a 5 cup bottle of water in your part of America?

I can drink water from the faucet in my part of America. And it's easier to do that if drinking out of a receptacle, often referred to as a cup.

 

[purbeast0]

he's not referring to a physical cup you nimrod, he's referring to the measurement of 8oz = 1 cup.

Here ya go.

So it's not "literally every single person in America" then is it?

First world Americans drink out of pre-filled plastic water bottles bought from a store.

How about you fix the fucking poll? :|

 

[96Firebird]

Fun fact, the poll cannot be changed after it is posted...

Guess you'll have to suck it up!

Son of a bitch!

You consider it "first world" to have water quality so poor that it's not safe for consumption and requires you to buy something bottled thousands of miles away? That's a strange notion.

That is a strange notion and not something I would ever post about. :|

It's all OK now though. I voted.

I like how our avatars match.

Disregarding food and other drinks (coffee, pop), probably about a 16.9 fl oz bottle a day I'd say.

 

[CraKaJaX]

Easily over 72oz. I refill my liter nalgene at work at least once a day... plus any water drank during sports/gym after work. No matter what else is available (soda, juice, etc.) I'm almost always having water. Unless of course we're at a bar :awe:

I had a kidney stone when I was 26. Since then I drink a lot of water every day.

 

[FeuerFrei]

Probably 95oz of straight water. Not counting smoothies or energy drinks. It's been hot and dry here. I don't exercise much but live without ac.

I get dry mouth at night so I keep a water bottle by the bed overnight so I don't have to get up.

Anyway, hopefully preventing kidney stones.

I live in Colorado. If you don't drink enough water here, you dry up and blow away.

I honestly think the whole "2 Gallons per day" is a bunch of bullshit. Honestly, if I have even a gallon of water I'll be taking a piss every 5 minutes.

I've never heard 2 gallons per day, that seems like a LOT. I've always heard 8 cups, or 64oz, which is 1/2 a gallon.
