How the hell can you drink 4l of water daily?

[CaesarX]

I'm starting the Bowflex program tomorrow, and it says that i should start drinking 4l of water daily, and eventually work my way up even higher. That's insane! I drink more pure water than anyone i know, and it only amounts to 750ml daily. Damn, i don't know if i can do this. That's eight standard bottles.

i never realized it, but i was drinking a gallon of gatorade a day, not to mention all the pop that was in between and after. I've now switched to drinking water and i fill up two liter bottles at least twice and drink a pint of milk a day.

I drink at least a gallon of water a day in the summer.

 

[notfred]

750ml is hardly anything. That's what, 2 glasses?

 

[Eli]

Yeah, 4L isn't really that much..... lol

 

[CaesarX]

Actually, i drink about two bottles a day, so that's 1l. The thing is, they don't want me to drink 4l of fluids a day. They want me to drink 4l of water alone, plus 5 glasses of other drinks a day with my meals.

 

[AlienCraft]

750ml is not enough... 4 liters is easy as you eliminate the pop and other stuff.

 

[Zugzwang152]

yeah after intense exercise, thats when you drink a ton. I remember after wrestling practice I used to down 3/4 gallon in like 10 minutes, and then sip water for the next hour.

Water's the best thing for you. Not that hard to drink 4l a day.

 

[ElFenix]

go to the local municipal swimming pool and act like a german pervert.

Drinking 4 liters of water is pretty tough. 4 liters of beer on the other hand, hell, that's not even enough for a decent game of quarters.

 

[Darein]

I have a quart thing of water on my desk all day long and usually go through 2 or 3 a day, if I exercise its even more than that.

No one has mentioned it yet, so I will -- with slogans such as "water is good for you" and "drink 4 liters a day and more!", you might be tempted to drink as much as you can... don't. Too much water thins your blood and is bad for you. I would suggest drinking only when your body says that you need to.

really? so what the bloody hell are we supposed to drink. are u saying 4L is bad? or more then 4L is?

 

[brunswickite]

soda/jiuce/gatorade has water in it

 

[LuNoTiCK]

I think you need more than 4l of water for it to be bad for you. Besides, I'm pretty sure it's better than the other things that you drink such as soda.

 

[Adul]

4 liters pfft you wimp that is easy to do. if you aren't drinking at least 2l a day you are more then likely dehydrated

 

[toph99]

am i the only one here who only drinks if they're thirsty? i've never understood this whole water craze, i like to drink things that have a taste.

 

[Aquaman]

That's not that much but you really only need 2L unless your seriously working out a lot.

Cheers,

8 glasses a day is what I heard to be GOOD for you. There are days where I drink no water and mostly soda... and that's only 2 or 3 cups a day. When it is water, it's only about 2 or 3 cups also. The only way to get close to 8 is if I had those dispensers in my house.

 

[BennyD]

you don't need to drink 2 litres a day have 2 litres of liquids.
unless you eat freeze dryed foods you get about 500 - 750ml through meals
