Drinking 2 liters of water everyday

I don't drink too much water and during summer i can hardly reach 1.5 liters of water everyday...2 liters seem to much for me and if i add my morning coffee cup, a soup and a glass of juice or ice tea it's really unreachable. We all know that doctors recommend to drink these 2 liters of water to avoid health problems like constipation, stress or dry skin and keep ourselves hydrated all day. What about you?

Hi RiverLight, I think the weather is as hot as your place. I sweat easily and therefore I need to drink water every now and then to quench the thirst. I drink 7 mugs or so of water during scorchers. Milk and soup are not included. 2 cups make a mug. Actually I don't know how many mug make a liter. Yeah, drinking enough water is a must to keep our body healthy Happy posting

Not saying that drinking much water is good to our health. Taking the required amount is sufficient. I learn from articles drinking too much water would cause face swollen And it would increase the burden of kidney. Yeah, 2 liters is just nice, don't forget to drink sufficient water

I didn't always drink a lot of water, but since I have been doing a lot more work, I found myself drink a lot more. I am a big guy so what I drink might seem unusual for a normal person. On a slow day, I would drink 4 liters, but a normal day 8 liters. If it is hot outside, I go through 12 liters in a day. It's easy when the container that I drink from holds four liters at a time.

Hi, it seems a lot to me but i'lm glad you're drinking as much your body needs and you're hydrated all day.I also find easy to drink water when it's in a 0.5 liters bottle.I keep it with me, refill it and try to drink as much as i can.

I drink when I`m thirsty not thinking about measuring amounts. I keep a bottle of water at my bedside table, with a glass. And I drink a lot of water at night, after I wash my teeth and before I go to sleep. I watch TV then and after washing my teeth I will not eat anything else. So I drink water as a snack. In Summer I drink a lot more water than in Winter due to the warm weather.

Uhmm. That has been a problem of my sister. You see, she can only drink a glass of water every meal. I told her to drink 2 glass every meal and since we have 3 meals a day, she can consume 6 and the 2 other glasses can be whenever shes thirsty. I dont think that it is hard to achieve knowing that if you really want it, you will have the urge to sucessfully do it.

Hi glamgirldoll, i should listen your advice and maybe try to drink 2 glasses after every meal.I really want to drink more because of my dry skin and hair, i used many products and no long term results. I'm sure this is the cause, so i really need to find a way. I keep a bottle with me to remember i need to drink it :) Thanks for your response!

I have just started this 4 glasses in the morning on an empty stomach. It is from a Japanese tradition. Here is the website: http://network.nature.com/groups/skepticism/forum/topics/640 I have added apple cider vinegar to it and I feel very very good. actually, adding apple cider vinegar to the morning ritual actually cleans you out, almost immediately, so do not go to far from home. do this right when you wake up. I do not think it would be a good idea to be on the train and have the effects of this kick in :)

I have a 64 ounce water bottle sitting on my computer stand, and I try to keep it filled, as I do drink a lot of water. I don't drink all that in one day, but I do drink water. I end up drinking more in the summer time since I sweat a lot, but then who doesn't. i have never drunk soda as I know it isn't good for me, so when I got my water bottle, i decided that I would drink out of it every day and i do. Sometimes i get so thirsty, that I just drink and drink, and of course I go to the bathroom alot too. D We all need to drink water every day, as our bodies are made up of mostly water, and we need to replensih what we sweat out. I do enjoy my water, that is for sure. Take care, and have a very good day.

Well, I try to drink about 4 glasses of water in a day. But that depends on how hot it is during the day. There are days that I could really drink as much as 8 glasses. What I just hate about it is having to go to the bathroom to piss.

I remember when I was still a student and learn about drinking minimal 2 liter of water is good for our health. I was thinking "wow, I even hardly to finish 1 liter in one day how come I can finish 2 liters?" But today I can finish more than 2 liters water a day because I always feel thirsty and it's good for my health too.

It was hard to reach 2 liters when i was a student and it's also hard to reach that amount now, but hope i'll find a way to drink more water, not necessary 2 liters.

Water is very essential for the proper functioning of our body. We should at least drink 8 glasses of water a day. Also we can avoid dehydration,and constipation. Our skin also will remain healthy and it will glow. During summer season ,we have to drink plenty of water . Also we can avoid getting kidney stones..
