how much water do you drink a day?

[Burrita]

I know that you are meant to drink 8 glasses but how much water do you drink a day?

[alexmac]

using cordial, I’d drink a litre or 2 a day,
with no cordial... a glass or so.

[nettsu]

2 to 3 litres

[Commando Sting]

8-10 600 ml bottles of mnt franklin on a day like today
but i'm a big kid

[ekou3]

Not enough! i hate water with a passion - i struggle to drink one glass (open to any suggestions), but as my bowen therapist says: you need to drink more water.

That Much

[libstar]

At least 3 litres on a work day - about 1-2 if i'm just at home.

[jay_graham]

About 2L at work and then heaps more if I am out and about.

[Duvdev]

about 2 litres i think

[Bele]

1.5 - 2 litres everyday, but more if I'm out on a hot sunny day, and I drink lots of water if I'm out or hungover.

Oh no recycled thread idea!

I used to rarely drink water years ago. These days I wonder if in fact I drink way too much.

[antis]

does beer count?

[Mike-O-Sito]

at the moment im drinking about 3 litres
at work i drink about 2
cause its pretty intense sometimes

i work at a bottleshop at the moment and after a delivery i tend to be a bit thristy
but on the average non working day i'd drink maybe 2 litres max...

[bricktop712]

At least 4 litres, probably closer to 5.

Mind you, I work out twice a day.
But also, I find it impossible to think properly without constant rehydration.

[the_pezman]

ek - start off drinking small amounts of ice cold water. i was like you once it just tasted so plain but now i drink straight tap water and everything else tastes over flavoured :p

[Jip Travolta]

2-3 litres a day. i sometimes drink it too late at night though and i wind up waking up about 3 times a night to go to the toilet :(

[freqboy]

At least 4.5L. Drink a 1.5L on the way to work then usually 2 more during the day. More in summer or if I'm running lots.

[TheSaint]

easy 2 litres..

[Zacobius]

around 3L at work... then about another 1L at home

[Tarz]

:-O i dont get how you people can drink like 4-5 litres daily, i drink more then 2 and i feel like i drink water all day.

[BorrisTheBear]

i dont' drink even i glass a day - it's pretty bad, but i'm always drinking those Power energy drinks. I only drink water if i go to a Rave.
i would drink juice over water anyday.

[alowflyingpig]

anywhere from 0 - 5 bottles a day (1 bottle = 600mL)

[HyPo]

[dancekid]

I try to drink 800ml - 1 litre a day and am trying to increase the amount I drink but with great difficulty.

Does anyone have any tips?

[jasonlloyd]

4 to 6 bottles a day, work pays for it.

you could try eating more fruit.

red cordial is always a winner

[Morphee]

About 4meters and 32 seconds.

[Neurotoxin]

Usually a litre...or nothing, depends if i remember

[datakid]

usually between 1 and 2 litres.

umm, if you want to drink water-like substances bc you get bored with water, maybe try sparkling mineral water?
the bubbles make it seem more exciting (

or, sparkling mineral water or soda water with a dash of cranberry juice and a squeeze of fresh lime is really good.

[MiSsB29]

not too much, i need room for food.

[snoochie]

Between 3 and 4 litres

[tim-e]

About 6 litres.

Here's a PDF I found from the Australian Gov site:

http://www.nhmrc.gov.au/publications/_files/n33.pdf

Basically we need 2.5-3.0L of hydrating FLUID each day.
1.25L comes from solid foods and the body’s metabolism (oxidation process).

So we need: 1.25-1.75L in hydrating fluid each day - water being the best thing for this.

I had always heard this number being 2L rather than less. More wont hurt, it'll just help you want to pee pee some more.

I don't like drinking water... so it is something I have to try and increase this summer.

Remember kiddies - drink plenty of water!
