How many glasses of water do you drink in a day?

Not that many at all gabrielle. Can't seem to drink more than one or two glasses each day. I use to drink a lot when I played sports but stopped playing a few years ago. Once I get back into my walking again when the weather picks up, no doubt I'll be drinking a lot more than usual ;)

Well I do, sometimes more than the usual. Especially these days, it's summer here in my place and just can't bare too much heat. It is indeed recommended, that we should take 8 glasses of water a day.. Sometimes, I also buy some fruits and turn them into fresh juices. Coconut is the best here since it replenishes water contents in our body, I also make melon and some fresh mango juice as well..

hi gabrielle47, i agree with you that it is really important for a person to maintain their water intake level. As a healthy sporty teenager, I could say that i usually drink more that a liter of water a day. Since that it keeps me going the whole day and it helps my body to relax instead of drinking sodas or other unhealthy beverages.

I'm not to sure, but i do no that I drink lots of bottled water. I know that it is important to really drink water. I have never drunk 8 glasses a day. But I have drunk maybe 2 to 3, 8 ounce waters.

My body has been very demanding for water since I have been pregnant. I probably have been drinking that much recently but normally I dont. I try I just really dont drink all that much. I know all the great benefits it has in it I just dont do it.

I try to drink like 3 or more litres a day. I used to get really bad headaches at night and drinking alot of water helped hydrate me and as you said flush out my body. so drink as much as you can! maybe put bottles of it in the fridge and aim to get through them in a day.

I always try to drink lots everyday. never count how many times, but I think it always more than 8 glasses in a day.

I drink more than 8 a day as I alway feel thirsty and someone told me that there is something wrong with me for drinking so much water.

I used to be the worst person when it came to drinking water. If it didn't have any flavour I just didn't drink it. But now that I am dieting I finally realize the benefits of drinking lots of water. I need it to clean out my system. I need it to moisturize my skin. I just need it. And I drink lots of it now, and I have noticed such a difference in my skin. I also know it has helped me a lot to lose weight. So I now drink about 10 glasses of water a day and I feel so much better, physically and emotionaly since it helps me to lose weight.

I try to drink at least 40-80 ounces a day. I feel much better when I drink water.. It cleans my system out and really makes me feel good...

I drank a lot of water while I was pregnant. Way more than the recommended eight ounces. But since I had my little one I have fallen into old habits. I drink about half of that and sometimes less. I know it's great for my body but I just never seem to drink enough. Its weird how we can kind of shy away from things that are really good for us. Great discussion, I liked it.

I guess i drink about 4 glasses of water every day. Ya i have heard that our body needs 2 litres on water daily and so on. But i never seem to remember to drink water. Ofcourse when i am thirsty i drink water but i dont feel thirsty that often. Will there be a problem to my health due to this?

I drink 4-5glasses of water in a day,but I think it is not enough to our body.We have more actifity in one day.we will lose the water,but dink 8glasses of water a day is diffical.I'm not able to drink the recommended 8glasses of water a day.

You may need more than 8 glasses if you are detoxing. Our soil and water are so depleted today that it is hard to get enough minerals in the water and food this is why I supplement to learn more go to this website at www.caring-your-healthy.com

I have been told to drink 8 per day. However at one point when I was young, I was drinking 20-25 per day.Somebody told me to drink more water to clean pimples. I know that was stupid of me to follow wht he told. I started to get sick. My doctor told me that I was drinking too much water and saturating the fluids in my system. This lead to a low amount of vitamins. He had me start to take a multivitamin everyday and lower it to 8-10. Even all diet websites recommends 8 per day.

I don't always drink the eight recommended glasses per day but I'm trying to make myself drink more water than what I was doing. I don't like water to be honest but I make myself drink it anyway because I know it is better for me than diet drinks and other soft drinks. I am a diabetic so I like to take a bottle of water and add one of the "to go" flavored drinks that you can get to make the water taste better. Yesterday I bought a package that is sugar free raspberry. It is very good!! :) Shelia

Hello! I agree with you that its hard to keep track of how much water you are drinking. I tend to buy the big bottles of water where I can keep track of the ounces and that way I'm able to keep track. I usually drink about 80 oz of water per day which is what my doctor recommended to help my weight loss program. I've continued the habit since I lost all the weight and you do feel so much better after a while. So I raise my bottle (of water) to you! Cheers!

Um.. I drink as much as I can... when I remember to lol I try to drink alot though. I always have a cup of water next to me.. If I'm cleaning or doing some harder labor like work, I will make sure I take breaks to drink water.

Since it summer here now and it's so hot, I drink more than 8 glasses a day to keep me hydrated as I tend to get sweaty due to heat.

Yes your are correct you should drink 6-8 glasses a day to keep your body healthy.In case if you are not able to drink at least try for 6 or have a bottle of water where ever you go and keep taking small sips every now and then. you can also check my blog for more tips http://trainyourmind.blogspot.com
