i only get to drink 4 or 5 which is quite low...since we have to drink at least 8 glasses of water. I only drink whenever I eat [meals], which is only 3 times a day. Water is essential to our body, sine we are made up of water [3/4].. How do you think I can increase my intake of water? Do you drink 8 glasses of water each day?

I drink 2 gallons a day. I usually drink it by the gallon, so I buy the gallon, especially since it is cheaper than buying bottled water. If it is a hot day, I would drink between 3 and 4 gallons (I can drink a gallon in minutes if it is the right temperature). I am a big body with a lot of muscle mass, so my water intake is quite high. But on a hot day, it feels good know that I drunk a gallon of water and feels cool when it is 90 degrees. Whenever I go somewhere, I stuff gallon jugs of milk and water in my backpack and usually have an extra jug of something that I am carrying around with. I have been drinking so many gallons that I consider the gallon jug my glass. The biggest joke that I hear is how I have to drink a lake to stay hydrated. the thing is, I am bulking up, still getting bigger, so these gallons don't seem like a lot anymore.

Wow..that's really a lot..That's half of what my family can consume in a week.. But at least you are taking the necessary amount of water..even much more than the necessary since you need it. A lake..

I don't really like cold water too..I just want the normal temperature...not lukewarm or anything.. We should try and drink more glasses of water though..

I drink more than 8...that's why I pee lots of times ..I think it is essentially to reach 8 glasses a day to keep your body healthy and your skin smooth.

I do not know about glasses, because I drink water mostly out of bottles. But I would say I drink around 4 litres of water a day. I think it is enough.

That is more than enough...I think. Keep drinking, but aren't bottled waters a bit expensive ..

I drink more than 8 glasses of water a day, because I know it will hydrate my body and will help in some many ways... you can increase your water intake by adding variety on your water.. you can drink it really cold or you can drink it moderately hot.. it depends upon you but you should remember that drinking 8 glasses of water a day will help your body a lot...
