8 glasses of water a day?

I don't drink any water really... the only time I do is if I'm out for a long walk on a hot day or something, then I bring a bottle of water with me, because I know it tastes okay when it's warm too, because milk and juice and that sort isn't always good to be heated. I do drink a lot of milk, which probably has water in it, and I'm sure there is food that I eat with water in it too... but to actually drink glasses of water - I don't do that, and I never have. Most days no water in it's "pure" form enters my body lol... Is it healthy? I don't know. But it hasn't made me sick ever, so who knows.

I dont take much of water everyday. Thats why i have Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). I drink a lot of softdrinks. But everytime i knew that i am having my UTI, thats the time, i drink plenty of water in day.Though its hard for me to drink 8 glasses or more,but i do need to drink even 1 liter of water and more or else,i will be having a fever from my UTI problem.

some days i drink 1 glass of water a day, other days i dont. i dont like water to be honest.

I would like to make it clear. It is not specifically water that you should drink. According to the article that I've read, it could be any type of liquid. Me, I usually drink at most 5 glasses of water a day.

I know I've always been told this but I barely ever drink water - it's so boring, no flavor. I have the last year or so been drinking more though, I discovered the 'flavored' waters. They are costly though and you have to be careful which ones you get because some have a lot of sodium and extra junk that is probably worse for you than not drinking water.

i intake three litres or more of water per day, that makes me fit and i am free from disease of any kind except headache for over tension of works for last 6 years.i care about myself.i am really fit and fine, drinking water solves much of the small disease problems, and i never heard of any kind of problem ever before,is there any ?

I think 8 glasses of water a day would make you pee alot dont you.

really? why you only take that amount of water? for me, i take more than 8 glasses a day and i think it is a good thing.

It much depends on the time of the year and the temperature. I can drink much more in the summer months than in the winter, and I don't drink from the tap... I drink carbonated, flavoured water, but I don't like it too fizzy either, so I leave the lid loose so the fizz expires. lol. I think I'd have trouble drinking eight glasses of ordinary water... maybe I could manage a pint with each meal, but then reports say that it's better to drink warm or hot drinks with meals to break down the fat and aid digestion. So, where does that leave water? lol. Brightest Blessings my friend. :-)

i am not sure how much water i drink in a day for everyday..but for sure i drink less water and that's why my digestion system is not healthy. I need more water to reduce my weight which i am facing now. I just don't know how i can drink more plain water...but during the hot day, then i will drink more.

The water you take flushes your system of impurities and keeps it functional. The 8 glasses a day is supposed to be the minimum. Some people are known to drink a gallon a day and believe me they are very healthy, they practised what is known as hydrotheraphy.

yes that is correct atleast 8 glasses a day.. i drink 8-9 glasses a day

i also heard this from the experts, we need the average of 8 glasses of water everyday. but sometimes, i never met this number of glasses in a day. usually i enjoy drinking cola drinks than water, even if i know that it's not good for my health.

Yup, they say that's true.. When I was sick with dengue, they kept on letting me drink if possible more than 8 glasses of water.. I think even if you don't reach 8 glasses, it would already make you pee a lot. But that's one way of keeping ourselves healthy.. :)

I have been a water drinker all my life..I rarely drink anything else..I drink 8-12 glasses a day...in fact if I drink less than 8 I can really tell..because I stay so superhydrated though it is easy to get dehydration symptoms in a situation where it's hot and there isn't a great deal of water to be drunk!!! I do my fair share of visiting the restroom...but am so used to it I must have good bladder muscles..I am very active and walk 5-7 miles a day so I need the hydration..and it helps stave off hunger for me too...as sometimes I think I need to eat and just drink a little extra water and the 'snack attack" passes!!!

I can take at most 12 glasses a day. It takes getting used to and I started to consciously count the glasses of water that I take. It really has noticeable effect because my skin became clearer and I feel lighter and lost some weight. If one is overweight, one has to take more than 8 glasses of water a day. Water is the simpliest way to detoxify and prevent illness by flushing all those toxins away.

Its bad for me, I usually dont even have 1 glass of water......I should start.

I take at least 2litres of water per day...

8 glasses works. I take 3 glasses, if you drink too much, you might throw it all out.

I drink 8 glasses of water a day. To keep zits from popping out . And keep my body hydrated since i do lots of sports. I think i probably need more than 8 cups then.
