Drinking eight glasses of Water a Day?

I love drinking water now! I used to be the same way also, I hated drinking water. I couldn't drink it with meals because I always thought it made the food taste bad somehow, even though that doesn't make sense. I was so used to drinking pop though (soda) so I just hated it. Now I have water with almost every meal. I'm not up to drinking 8 glasses a day yet though, but I drink at least 6. I'll get there! :)

I completely agree that water is very good for you, it flushes unneeded stuff out and helps your body run because being even a little dehydrated can make you tired, give you headaches, and slow down things like your metabolism. I actually drink about 11-12 glasses of water a day but that's because I like to run and it's almost critical to stay hydrated during a run.

I absolutely hate water! I know it is good for us and everything but I just cannot stand not having any flavor to something I am drinking. Water literally makes me sick to my stomach when I even think about drinking it. I know thats terrible but its true! Lol. I have tried over and over again to drink more water and I just cannot make myself get used to the no flavor...

I also was the same way never drinking water, until some years ago I was in the hospital for dehydration. I am now making sure I drink it but I like to put lemon juice in mine I need that flavor to it, I'm getting that water. I'm the Frugal Bree

I used to drink water only when I felt thirsty.But someone told me that when you feel thirsty that means your body is severly lack of water.I do not quite sure about the amount of water I drink everyday.But I think I drink the appropriate amount.

I always drink plenty of water, they say, water dispose toxins in our body and drinking a lot of water helps to normalize the circulation of our blood and away from for some sickness :)

Frankly, I don't like drinking water since it is plain. It is boring to drink it. However, I try to drink more water everyday since it is the best and healthy drink for us. This is why I have a big cup in the office. At least it will be a trick for me to drink a lot of water everyday

I drink a lot of water myself, but it is usually when I am trying to quench a thirst. I drink water out of a gallon jug, which comes out to me drink about 2 gallons a day. Wherever I go, I always have a gallon jug with me to drink from stuffed in my backpack, but because I am a big guy, it is easy for me to drink that much in a short period of time. I also keep one by my bed to have in case I get thirsty overnight. Some nights, I start off with a full jug, and wake up to an empty one in the morning. These days, the gallon jug is my glass, since I can drink a glass of water in seconds.

I just woke up and reading this discussion makes me remember that I have to drink the water, I drank one glass afterwards. I think it is really important to drink the water in required proportion. It is advisable to drink water at the time you wake up in the morning because it keeps you out of so many diseases. It helps in reducing the tension, makes you fresh, and helps in body functions.

I feel the same as you, in fact all I was drinking was diet coke practically. I keep having periods of time where I try to drink more water, but then I give up and just feel more deprived from soda because I was trying to replace water with it. I'm actually drinking water as I make this post. I'm trying again to be healthier and figure water is a great start. I don't hate water but I have a hard time drinking more than a few sips.

We all drink water after eating our meals and after each snacks or whenever we eat something. Water is always there for us. Lately, I observed that I drink less water as I feel that I easily become full everytime I eat. I even forgot drinking even a little amount of water.

I really drink a lot of water everyday. It is healthy for our bodies. It is tested too. I seldom get sick. We should drink lots of water.

Drinking 8 glasses of water will be very beneficial for human body. Water is a very big blessing for us.

I used to have the same problem. I mean I still have it. I never really liked drinking water, but this bad habit can lead to serious health complications and it can affect many internal systems. It's no joke with it. Now I am trying to drink more tea(as I already have a kidney affection), and even though I don't like it, I put myself together and I drink it. I have also observed this, that after I drink a glass of water I feel better. It makes me feel somehow fresh. One more thing, make sure you drink water constantly. I guess you know the feeling of thirst. When you are feeling thirsty your body is already in pain.

I drink about 1.5L of water a day. I need to drink more sugary drinks for my health and so I can't always drink just water more. I have low blood sugar even after eating three meals a day and so as much as I'd like to drink more water I have to drink sugary stuff. I could just eat the sugary stuff but I hate sweets. At this current moment I am not sure how much 1.5L of water is.

I drink more than that!!! lol

Drinking water is good but how much water does we need per day is the question . Some people say it is eight glasses some are saying 6 glasses of water is enough per day. Anyway ,about 80% of our body is made out of water so it must be good to consume more water for proper functioning of the body.

its true water is a natural remedy and will help the body in so many different things we dont even think of.i find when i drink lots of water i stay healthier and even my skin looks better,people should stick to this simple natural and cheap remedy.

When i was a teenager i always hate water even to take bath.But after i became adult of 20years i become heavily smOkers.I smoke every hours,so from then i drink a lot of water i can expect how much i had drinked and how much i'm drinking.BTW AS A SMOKERS I drink lot of water. Thanks for sharing this.
