How long can you live without water?

I've gone without water for more than 2 days once. HOWEVER DO NOT TRY THIS, as afterwards i had to go to a doctor and i became very sick. It was a controlled experiment so there were precautions.

well in a day i can atleast end up drinking 30 glasses of water. i really love water and plus i play football so just get thirsty quite fast.So if i dont drink water for a day i will die considering the necessity i have for it.heh

They say that a person cannot live for more than two days without water. But I am not sure whether I can make it more than half a day. Some sort of liquid had to go into the body for me to feel comfortable. When I am out I prefer Coke more than water. If by water you mean pure water, I can manage with a substitute dring without water, even for ten years. It is OK as long as what I drink is a drink made by mixing water with something else.

I think without I can not live even for one day,especially in hot summer.water is so important to us,so maybe without food we can live for more time that without water.

I drink a few cups of water every day while working in the office. When coming back home, I drink orange juice instead for some vitamines. I don't think that three days' lack of water will cost a person's life. If I am not mistaken, I remember I once read an article reporting someone who did not drink for 7 days still survived. It is unbelievable, but the guy made it.

Yeah..water is an essential element here on earth. I drink 4 to 5 glasses a day. In my opinion, one cannot live without water in more than 5 days I guess. I remember in an earthquake story that a mother and her child survive after a week of having trap in a collapsed building without water. Did you know that they only drank their urine in order to survive? So water is very precious and very important. :)

We can live without food for somedays, but living without water for a single day is impossible for me. I drink water more than 10 times. I drink atleast 3 litres of water per day.

i drink around 8-10 glasses of water daily as it is very healthy to do so. water acts as a flushing agent to flush out our body. though i have never tried remaining without drinking water but i feel i will not be able to survive for more than 24 hours.

I cannot go one day without some water or some kind of fluids to drink. Our bodies will dehydrate if we do not have it. I may be able to go one full day without water but then on day number two, I will have to have some water to drink. Some people can live longer than others without water, but I have to have it.

I think the actual time is 4 to 5 days, depending on the conditions. I know that humans can live much longer without food than water. That's why people go on hunger strikes, but they will drink water to stay alive.

Water is basically the only thing I drink so I have to admit that I can't stand to go with out water for long. I have never really counted how many glasses of water I drink a day. It has to be at least eight to nine glasses a day. I occasionally will drink some coffee or a soda but rarely.

Hi! a day without water for me is a terrible day, i used to drink 1.5liter of water during 8 hrs of work, and this does not include the amount of water i drink when i am home, i always feelin thirsty and i dont drink softdrinks, i am much in water. Maybe because sweat keep coming out in my body even if its not so hot here. I love water and cant leave without it in just a day.

I try to have an equivalent of about 8 glasses a day

i can no longer continue living if there's no water...water is important to me, to everyone, we need water for our body or else we might get dehydrated. I can drink 1 or 2 litres of water per day...the result is i always pee every hour or minutes hahaha, but it's pretty good in our body.

I have a favorite glass with hold 20 ounces of liquid. I've always heard that we need to drink between 48 to 60 ounces of liquid a day to be healthy. I am sure we need more if we are outside a lot or in the summer. From what I understand since our bodies are 80% water we can go about 4 to five days without water but not much nore than that.

I am a water barrel. I cannot live without water for a day. Each day, I drink about 2 litres of water from the minute I wake up until the minute I go to bed. As for yourself drinking 4 or 5 glasses of water a day, I feel it might be too little. Perhaps you might want to increase one or two more glasses per day.

i cannot live without water and it plays important role in our lives. Without water we cannot survive. In a day, i drink 7 - 8 glasses of water and it is good for me.I believe that man can live without food for 3 days but without water man cannot survive!

hmm.. yeah, water is very important for our body to maintain its health. without food for a week is okay, but within 2 days without water, we will find lose much of our energy. and aftar 4 to 5 days, maybe we would die.. for me, drinking water is a must. i drink a large bottle of mineral water everyday.. it is good for healthy living..
