    redcatt63 is around here somewhere......

    during the week at work I do...and probably a bit more. I work at a call center, and spend a lot of time on the phone, so I get pretty thirsty (especially when you have allergy problems!). and, especially since I've been eating healthier and lost a lot of weight in the last 3 1/2 years. It's good for you!
    (ok, now I gotta pee again....)

    Well, brewskis are nearly all water, so eight glasses per day? = sure!

    We cannot measure the amount perfectly, although one may think that he had drunk less or more, the reality might be the opposite of what he think.

    I'm in the minority! I too drink about double that. you can be healthily addicted to water. (it helps to start the habit while on Lithium but I continue to drink nearly as much as the then 2-3 gallons a day)
    & I don't do that forever-in-the-ground BOTTLED garbage either. Brita water filter.

    I drink maybe 3-4, so not nearly enough. And it's not really water, it's milk, juice, soda, etc. I hate water plain, it has no taste.

    I don't. It's somewhere between 50 and 80 oz of liquid depending on what is happening. In the heat of summer when I am working outside I drink lots more. In the winter I drink lots less.

    The old 8 glasses of water per day thing falls into the area of an Urban Legend (maybe medical legend). Eight glasses won't hurt most people and can keep you healthy but the emphasis needs to be on the MOST PEOPLE and CAN KEEP YOU HEALTHY. There are other considerations on the amount liquid you need per day.

    I do, actually.

    I drink 8 on regular days, and more than that on days when it is hot outside, or if I do any exercise. Sometimes up to 12-14 8oz glasses of water a day.

    I haven't recently, but I used to drink a gallon of water per day. It seems a bit much, but it isn't really since I exercise and/or lift weights everyday.

    Well, it depends how big these mythical "glasses" are supposed to be. I drink about three or four glasses of water a day, but they tend to be pint glasses- so I'm pretty confident I drink enough water.

    I'm sure I drink at least that much, if not way to much. It would be an out of the ordernairy occurence to see me without a glass of water in my hand.

    None. For some reason, water itself makes me nauseous. So, I do not drink glasses of water, but I do drink other fluids (in much greater quantities).

    I dont, but I try to drink as much water as possible. It's great for the skin, so, I think it's worth trying to drink as much of it as possible.

    Well, I have to say about half that! Not good, I know. Today was the worst though, I realised that I hadn;t had a drink all day until about an hour ago. Woops!
