does anyone drink alot of this???

I drink 64 ounces (8 cups) a day. I try to drink it all during mid-day, in a two hour period, so I'm not running to the bathroom all night. I also drink some additional sugar-free, non-soda, low-caloric drinks

Sometimes I'm great w/ my water, right now I'm not. I drink a lot of Propel, 1 diet soda, 1 diet juice, 1 regular juice per day. I need to get better on plain old water though...

Oy...I used to be that bad with soda At one point, I could go thru a 12 pack in like 2 days or so

I've started drinking a LOT more water. I dunno exactly HOW much, but I drink at least 3 or 4 glasses per night at work. At home I drink a lot of OJ and water. I sometimes have a cherry pepsi or whatever every once in a while as a kind of "treat", or if I am having something Italian. I dunno what it is, but there is something about pepsi that just makes it go awesomely with Italian food.

I have to drink at least a litre a day or I feel dizzy or get a headache.

It makes you feel fantastic though, makes your skin look fresh, helps with dark circles under your eyes and just generally improves your health

2 litres a day minimum

Soda

Evil ass bitch

I don't drink it now, at all and I feel lighter because of it

Actually we have great tap water where we live,
so when I'm at home, I'm usually carrying a glassful
around with me, and when I'm not home I carry a water
bottle with me from our tap.

My understanding though is that we don't really need to
drink a full 8-8oz glasses a day like they used to recommend.
Apparently we get enough from all the other things we drink
and eat to make up for it.

Since I gave up soda I drink a lot more water.By doing that I notice my feet don't hurt as much from standing all day.

yes I know

Really? I never knew that.

I've heard and read it a couple of times, and I was really
surprised myself....but it made me feel better about not
getting the daily recommended..... Although I still
drink plenty I think.

It's hard driving 64 ozs of water a day.

I just started drinking water about a week ago, after totally giving up Pepsi for good. Pepsi is not good for you anyway; it's really just sugary, empty calories. Diabetes runs in my family (on my dad's side) and at 45 years of age, I don't want to wind up getting it. Diabetes is a nasty disease, and I have seen it do bad things to very good people.

The water tastes good and is good for me, and I enjoy drinking it. The only thing I dislike about it is that it does a number of my kidneys (lots of bathroom trips). But people have told me that after awhile, my body will get used to it, and I won't need to make as many trips (praying for that day to arrive).

So far, I've drank about 3.0 liters of water. I think I'm done for today. How much water do you normally drink? And are those flavored waters that I see advertised any good? I've thought about trying those, when I get sick of just the plain old water.

Since I always carry water around with me,
I may get that much anyway...I just don't really
keep track.....but I do know that I feel better
the more I have.

That's good. I have a problem with regular milk, it bothers my stomach. But now I see they have something on the market called Lactaid, which is supposed to be good for people with lactose intolerance. Gotta try it.

I used to drink 2 litres a day religiously, but now I drink 1 litre...Ive gotten Lazy.

I start my day with about 32oz of tap water. Every day. Throughout the day I drink as needed and I try not to keep soda in the house. I will drink it away from home but I am not(or rarely) going to go to the store because I just have to have a soda as opposed to something else to drink.
The bathroom trips will stop. lol
It was put to me this way - You take a shower each morning to clean your skin, drink water each morning to clean your insides. I've been doing it for over 10 years now. Definitely a habit.
