This is random: How much water do you drink?

[uofom3]

So I was talking to a friend of mine who was giving me a hard time about how much water I drink. I drink about a gallon of water a day, thereabouts, depending on total physical activity or time of year (how much one is sweating).

I read a while back that most American's are extremely dehydrated; they drink soda (pop), energy drinks, coffee, etc. all of which further dehydrate people. People then derive most of their water consumption from the food they eat, which is great but is balanced out from the other stuff that is consumed which dehydrates people.

So, just to fuel my own personal curiosity.. how much water do you drink in an average day?

maybe 6 glasses a day, more when I'm exercising.

I don't drink anything with High Fructose Corn Syrup in it(Pretty much all sodas and drinks in general), So water is where it is at for me. And I only drink out of glass bottles I reuse, I also work as a stone mason so I am sweating alot.

1 gallon for me.

I use my Brita filter and fill up a 1 gal bottle twice a day for myself. I like my happy, squishy cells.

[Miasma]

Brita filter FTW. And now that I count my bottles and look how much it is, I would say I drink closer to 1.5-2 gallons not quite 2 though.

I drink lotsa water and vitamin water when I work out. If you're active you're supposed to drink 8 bottles a day.

For those lazy American's playing along, it's not 8 glasses of I want to be a fat ass, but 8 glasses of H20.

Being as this is part of my field, it really depends on your weight, physical activity, metabolism, and ambient temp. Drinking a gallon would probably be a safe bet for most individuals. Some recommend 8- 10oz drinks a day. The worst case scenario is you eliminate a lot and several trips to the throne.

Summertime, as much as a gallon a day

Wintertime, none at all.

I drink water when I am thirsty.

I do drink quite a bit of coffee, and the water in coffee replenishes my soul.

Other than alcohol, I only drink water. I'd guess around 2 liters a day at least. It's usually Deer Park or Aquafina, because our tap water is rarely impressive.

I tired Vitamin Water for a while, only to realize that it appears to be glorified fruit juice.

[jules_winfield]

i drink only poland spring when i drink "spring" water. "What it means to be from Maine"!

Sure its only filtered wellwater but so is all other "spring" water.

most of the other time though i drink plain old filtered tap water. it's free!

[Farbin Kaiber]

Yeah, tell TDE30.

Don't shit in my thread. Jules is cruising for a banning anyway, so just drop it and it will all be better.

[Van Westervelt]

When I am not drinking the blood of my enemies, I drink about 1.5 liters or more throughout a day. More if I am outside or working out etc.

[Danny]

I usually have 5 cans of Mountain Dew a day.

Besides that Juice or Chocolate milk.

I only drink water when I'm playing sports.
