I drink water the first time I wake up, then while breakfast, lunch and dinner,and 2 glass before sleep.. so 6 glasses a day. Still can't reach 8 glasses because I feel sick if I drink too much water.. I like to drink juice but not water.. My father love water and always order it in restaurant. You must be healthy because you do sport and drink enough amount of water..

I drink water all along the day. I would say 6 to 10 glasses a day. When the weather is hot, then I would drink more. I also keep a flask of water near my bedside, so when I wake up in the middle of the night and feel thirsty, I would drink a glass. If I had eaten salty foods during the day, I get more thirsty, and drink more water.

I always drink 5-6 glasses each day, sometimes drink less while I am busy to forget to drink. I think that you are right, we have to drink over 2L every day! Happy the weekend!

We must have at least 1-2 litres of water everyday....i think i usually have much much more than that....specially after i return from my college....taking a lot of water helps our body system to work perfectly ....be cool even in very hot summer days .....young people should always have a lot of water....even the doctors suggest that.

summer is the time when we need water mostly, because the sun is so hot and all the heat, we lose alot of water daily, so the logical thing to do it replenish our bodies, especially when you are in college you need as much as possible.

As much as I can. I love water especially ice cold water. My family members always depend on juice or soda to settle their thirst but in my opinion that only makes you more thirsty! I try to drink around 10 glasses each day but i guess i dont really count so maybe sometimes i go over my goal..

I'm almost always drinking water, I love it. I probably drink 10-14 glasses per day. I add lemon wedges to most of my water for extra vitamins. It also helps with digestion and it helps the liver work better, which can result in a faster metabolism.

That is good that you drink so much water. Eight glasses is just the average, I know that there is a website that tells you how much you should drink based on your weight, since I weigh 104 lbs I need way less than someone who is 200 lbs, so eight glasses is the safe middle requirement, but mine would be lower, maybe about five glasses, while perhaps yours is eight to ten. I probably need to drink more though, I have been barely getting my minimum, I usually forget or just not think about it at all. Sometimes you can mistake thirst as hunger, many people that think they are hungry are actually thirsty instead, so drinking a lot of water can help you lose weight, instead of eating food to feel full, you can drink water. But anyways, water is awesome, we should all try to get as much as we can, and hope bathrooms are near by haha.

hahaha nice one sugar plum lol, yeah you need to drink more water lol its great, and i guess i get most of the water i need, so i am great, and it makes my weights stay average. in order to forget just keep a bottle with you every where you go, so when you think you need ot you will be good to go, and you can take little sips so you wont get dehydrated. great comment sugar plum

I wish I can drink 10 cups of water a day but I try to get at least 3 cups of plain water daily and a few more cups of water from like soups, juice, fruits, etc. I have trouble drinking a lot of plain water because of the plain taste so lately I've been adding Crystal light powder to plain water to make myself drink more water. Drinking water after the gym is very refreshing I must agree! I have a tendency to not drink much when I'm at work which I think is horrible because I should be drinking to keep myself hydrated but I just seem to keep forgetting to take a sip of water every now and then. Anyways, keep up the good work on drinking water daily and keeping yourself hydrated!
