There is a saying that water is life.That is true to the core as none can live without it. I drink about 12 to 14 bottles of water a day. I love the convenience of the bottled water because I can take it anywhere I go which probably helps me to drink more. How about you? How much water do you drink everyday and do you prefer bottled water or tap water?

I agree that water truly is life! Like you said, we cant live without it! I drink a lot of water each day. I have no idea how much. I would guess I drink about 6 16 ounce glasses! It is the only thing I drink. I started out by drinking only water at work. Eventually I got to the point where I started drinking only water at home too. I didnt miss the other stuff - like juice and soda - so I just stopped buying it! If you drink 12-14 bottles of water each day you must buy a lot of water!!! Have you considered purchasing a Kleen Kanteen or something similar so that you dont have to constantly buy cases of water?

I can't count how many glass of water I drink everyday. Now it is rainy season here I drink less water than in summer. I don't want to pee frequently during this season. I know that drinking water is good for our health and it helps to flush the toxic in our body. Bottled water here is expensive so we drink tap water and I think it is clean because our provider ensure the safety and cleanliness of it.

Hi agv0419,thanks for sharing your views on this topic in this discussion which I started.Yes,sometimes weather has a little impact on the amount of water we drink per day.Water flushes the toxic yes it is right.It does not matter if you drink tap water but just use purifier.

Not enough thats for sure. Probably only one or two glasses a day, its not very good for me. I should try drink more water but most days I just struggle. I understand I need more then what I am getting. I think if I slowly try and raise the amount of water I drink everyday then I may eventually get there.

Water is the best natural healthy drink for us. In the past I didn't like drinking plain water, now I have changed. I will try to drink more water everyday to ensure I will stay healthy. I already try to avoid the soda water. I love China

I don't drink water at all which is unfortunate. I know that they say it's good for you but I just don't like the taste of it, it's too plain! I wish they would come up with some flavoured water, I wouldn't mind that. Well, I'm hoping that I don't notice any adverse health problems later on. Money is tight so I'm guessing if I have to start drinking water then it's got to come from the tap. I think I need to get into the habit of flushing my insides out! Andrew

I'm drinking more than the recommended coz it doesn't have any side effects at all and it will cleanse my body more. The recommended is 8 glasses but I used to double up a day. So it's more than 16 but not more than 30. I love water than any artificial drinks and juices. Unless I'm into physical activities, I'm taking gatorade then..

Hi paoxav,thanks for sharing your views on this topic in this discussion which I started.Drinking more water never has any side effect in our health.The more you drink it is even better,you know.Juices and Artificial drinks are no match in comparison with water.

Of course the tap water.I drink this kind of water every day and considering the health,the water must be boiled.now the bottled may be cleaner than tap water.but there are less minerals than bottled ones.

Hi gxyywhyzy,thanks for responding to this discussion and helping this discussion to grow.Tap water is always a good option to drink water as it is easily available.But,the purification should also be done of tap water.Though it is not possible always.

i don't drink nearly enough as i should. it's lame. everytime i try to drink more i get bored with it and go right back to soda and juice. i know water is so much better for me but it's hard to stay on the path when other things have more flavor.

Hello there! I think I drink about 5 to 6 bottles of water a day, regularly. If it is a hot day, I will drink more. I like drinking bottled water better then tap, because I think it is filtered better, and for some reason, it tastes a whole lot better as well!

Hi friend, It is true drinking water everyday is good for health.I usually drink 1 liter every day.I prefer tap water because i fill the tap water in a bottle and filter it with a aqua guard system and drink pure and healthy water which is good for health. Have a nice day

This is the summer time. And all of us should drink liters to beat the heat!!I always heard that 8 glasses of water a day is the best way to maintain your health in every way. So that is why,I take lots of water almost six liters a day.I always keep a two liters bottle beside me and I take water after every 10 minutes. But there are times when I avoid drinking a lot of water such as when I am in a class of a few hours. Drinking a lot of water will need to go to the washroom very frequently and this may make me miss my lesson in class.

For me i estimated myself drinking about 2 litres of water each day. I think this amount is still not enough for achieving an ideal health level. However, sometimes i drink even less than that when i was busy with work or...forgotten to drink,haaha. I drink tap water mostly, and bottled water once in a while. Do not have preference against each other.
