I know that I should for my health, but I have never been able to actually commit to doing that.

I do drink a lot of water, but I couldn't really tell you if it is the recommended 8 glasses we are supposed to drink; I get thirsty real easy so I am always drinking water, but I am definitely not actively counting my cups of water. I think most days I probably get through enough water to fulfill that recommendation, but some days I might not quite make it, either.

I live in a cold place.So i don't really feel thirsty.I just fill up a flask with hot water and infact I have three flasks put in places where I am most often.Sometimes instead of hot water I fill it up with green tea that is no sugar, no milk and i have it.I make sure i keep drinking enough water.i think I take more than 8 glasses a day.this happens when I am at home but when I go out somewhere I just don't drink sufficient water.

hi newlands oh yes I have to drink my 8 to 10 glasses a day or I wake upp with super horrible leg cramps and yell out in pain as I try to walkit off. When I get dehydrated my electolytes are thrown off and my legs cramp badly.I also always have at least one banana and I cut down on salty foods too. plus I take a multi vitamin and 1200 units of calcium. soI am well protected from the horrible leg cramps.

I don't drink eight glasses a day but I try to drink a couple of water bottles. I do notice though that when I do drink more water I feel so much better and less sluggish. I also read that now you don't really need to drink just water to get your 8 a day quota. You can get it from juice, tea, and your fruits and vegetables. Just drinking water can get pretty boring at times.

I am trying my best to drink more water. There is a big bottle that equals 8 glasses of water (8 ounces each) and that seems to help some people. What helps me is a 16 oz tumbler, I filled with water and ice cubes and I have drank more water this way.

I try to drink 8 glasses of water everyday! But sometimes I do forget to drink that amount of water everyday. I know that its good for us to drink 8 glasses of water a day, maybe I will start again. Thanks for reminding.

I really try hard to drink eight glasses of water a day as I know it would be very beneficial to my health. sometimes I lost count, so what I do is took out a container ( that measures 2 litters, approximately a glass of water is 250 ml)and fill iy with water, when I have to drink I just took out the container and drink water from it. I knew I already consume eight glasses when the container is empty.

No, I can't drink so much. I can drink maximally one litter daily, no more. I don't like water, so I often drink juice of icetea - it's the best drink for me.
