how much if any water do you drink in a given day??
i live off water and rarely nothing else for instance other than the oj i had with breakfast i have gone through 6 .5floz poland spring waters today and its only 7:30pm im bound to put down atleast 3 more before bed and this is a typical water day for me. my father in law lives only on coffee with the exception of a glass of milk with lunch and dinner other than that coffee i try to get good ol' h20 in him but he wont budge. so how about you how much if any water do you drink in a day?

Man, pass me over some of whatever you have that lets you do that! I LOVE water! I have observed that when I drink 9 or 10 glasses of water a day my skin is like silk, my joints are flexible, and I feel cleaner, fresher, and more alive, like a flowing river.
But do I drink that much on a daily basis? NO! Some days I do, then for weeks I forget about it, sometimes not even drinking one glass a day. Until I start noticing my dry skin, my sore joints, and overall sluggish feeling. then I drink for a few days, then I don't, then I do, then I don't.
That's one of my main objectives these days... CONSISTENCY! Maybe I should come and stay with you for a while, following you around and drinking every time you drink!

When I get thirsty water is the only thing I want, I just don't get thirsty, so I have to remember to drink.

Most days the only thing I drink is water. I might have a cup of coffee or a can of Mountain Dew, but usually less often than 3 times a week.
On average, I probably drink about 10-12 cups of water every day. I think that's part of the reason that I rarely get sick. My toddler drinks about 15-20 oz of water every day.

Princessmom, I am a water-holic myself and I usually try to put down eight glasses per day. Unless it is very hot and dry I might put down almost two thirds of a gallon or more.
I drink maybe a cup of coffe twice a week and I have decided to not drink anymore sodas because they tend to bother my kidneys. And since I was a child I can not drink orange peco tea. It causes my back to hurt. But I have no problelm with black or herbal teas.
Also another favorite of mine to drink is orange juice.

I pretty much live off of water also. Sometimes I will drink a glass of juice or milk but other than that I drink bottled water all day long. I used to drink about 6 mountain dews a day. It was very hard to quit drinking soda but I think it's much better for my health. Some people only drink water because it's good for you but I really like the taste of water. Have you tried the vitamin water? I don't like it very much. I think it taste like watered down kool-aid. Have a great day.

I mostly drink water. I have coffee in the morning, then water all day. Occasionally I have a Coke, but not very often. I prefer water because it really quenches my thirst.

I think when one is really thirsty, then no other drink really helps, it is water and only plain water that really quenches your thirst and gives you satisfaction. It is impossible to remain without water and survive only on other beverages or drinks.....your father in law seems to be rare case. How can a person survive only on coffee or milk.......I do drink about 4 cups of tea during a day, but I also drink about 7 to 8 glasses of water during the day and this is not because I read somewhere that we should drink 8 glasses of water a day, but this is my natural requirement of water during the day.......Can't survive without water..........

I drink about 3-4 glasses per day. It is totaly enough for me because I don't drink if I don't need it. Sometimes there are days which I don't drink even one glass of water, but that usually is when I am sick and I drink tea all day.

I am absolutely terrible about drinking water. I like SoBe LifeWater but seldom buy it. I also like Gaterade AM, not water exactly but healthier than my regular Coke or coffee.
My husband is always telling me that I need to drink more water and I try but I just don't like it unless I have been out in the heat for awhile. If I drink plain water on an empty stomach I get a nasty stomach ache.
Unless it comes from soups or foods, I don't take in near enough fluids a day.

I drink a good 300 ounces of water per day. My refrigerator has a water/ice dispenser, so I have clean, fresh water every time I get thirsty. I also have really big cups in which to drink from. :)

I very rarely drink water. The most water I have had today is the ice that melted into my soda. I will drink water with the flavored powder every once in awhile, but I hardly ever drink plain water and I do not drink tap water at all. I can't stand the stuff.

Enough to break the drought! lol. any where from 2-6 litres a day. Sometimes in icecube form, but that does count. It is really hot here today, so I'll more than likely be drinking enough to fill the local dam! lol.
