do you follow the prescription of the doctor that we have to drink 8 glasses of water a day? actually i wasn't able to count on how many glass of water was i able to consume in a day. but i dont think so that i can consume that one. they said water is very important in our body, and yes i do believed on that. its just that i dont think i can consume the said 8 glasses a day.
what about you? were you able to scale how many glasses of water you drink in a day?

I usually drink more than that especially when I'm very busy because I tend to thirst when I'm up and going. I also believe that drinking a lot of water, more than prescription, can help in cleaning up your body from chemical byproducts from your metabolism. Just don't drink say, 10 glasses of water, in one setting. You will pass out.

I'm only conscious about getting to drink for a whole day the said 8 glasses of water if I'm sick otherwise I also believe I can't be sure to consume that much measure of drinking water in a daily basis. But sometimes i tend to drink only water for much of my day if I feel plumpy.

I always have a glass of water on the go. I figure I drink a good five to six glasses a day easily.
Not because a doctor says so but because I know that I need to drink plenty of water a day. It is a necessity.
Once I read that juice, herb tea and such didn't count as your daily water intake count.
Just recently I read that drinking herb tea, juice etc does count.
I still drink many glasses of water a day.
Some days though, I don't get around to drinking more than three but for the most part I am up to six or more a day easily.
I love it and feels great.

I think i'm drinking more than 8 glasses a day.. haha =D I'm drinking in bottles to be exact.. hehe ^_^ As i'm always out of the house in the evening, and working in the day, thus i cant afford to be refilling my cup as and when i like.. haha =D
Thus, i'm always drinking from those mineral bottles, about 1 big bottle, plus 4-5 small bottles, for the whole day, excluding what i'm drinking when i'm home too.. hehe

to tell you honestly, i do not count the number of glasses of water i take each day. but i am sure i have enough waters in my body. i drink a lot of fluids in the office, after each meal, when i feel thirsty during the day especially when it is very hot weather.

I really have a hard time counting how much water or liquids that I drink in a day. It really does depend what season it is in the the year. Because I to drink a lot more when the weather is really hot outside than when it is really cold outside. I know its really important to drink around 8 cups of water a day. But I think I drink like around 5 or 6 cups a day.

I don't count the number of glasses that I drink in a day. I drink water whenever I thirst. My mother always encourages to do 'water therapy'. So when I'm at home and not doing anything busy, I grab a water pitcher and a glass and start drinking water until it's empty. Afterwards, I go to the toilet and pee almost all the time. That's the best part of it. You see, drinking lots of liquids, particularly water, does no harm to the body, only benefits. It cleans your entire system and nourishes your body.

Honestly I don't get the recommended amount of water doctors prefer. I get about 4-5 glasses of water per day. If I even tried to drink eight glasses a day I would probably feel sick or maybe even throw up because I would be so bloated. Though most of the time I don't even count the many of times I drink water. I would sometimes drink a lesser amount or an excess amount of water. It depends what I'm doing though.- Rezz

Yes I am, eventhough I'm not really sure how many glasses of eater that I have consumed everyday. It Because I use my own scale where it means equivalen to 8 glasses. I can consume 4 bottle that contain an half liter water for each bottle, so that means equivalen to 2 Liter water or 8 Glasses.
The reason why would I use a bottle to drink is, when you must drink for some scale it will be easy if you use a bottle.
