How much water do you drink?

[Buffman]

3-5 litres a day, need it for all the gym work .

 

[oli collett]

He's a spambot, living on the edge and he doesn't play by the rules.

Missed that, doh.

How rude.

 

[Azagoth]

I don't know, I don't measure it. I'm guessing I drink somewhere in between enough and more than enough, but not as much that dead druggie Leah Betts.

 

[DanH84]

loads and loads, unless i'm out on the lash it's all i drink and i'm a thirsty boy.

 

[dekez]

2-3 pints at work, then another 2-3 pints at home as squash

 

[buckeejit]

I make sure I drink at least 2 litres a day.

 

[Happy]

I used to drink LOTS of diet coke, but have since switched to water and squash every so often. I probably drink around 5-8 pints a day.

 

[Ironic Namesake]

Usually about 3 litres a day when at work ... always buy loads of bottles of water from the local shop and fill the fridge up always have a bottle on my desk!

 

[West]

About a litre a day.

 

[Gackt]

Around 8 pints. Sometimes more, sometimes a little less.

 

[^TANK^]

4-6 litres a day.

 

[Glaucus]

3-4 litres a day. but not plain water either squash or diet coke. Unless I have a bag of ice on a hot day. Then just ice and water.

 

[strudey]

[Morgoth]

2-3L a day usually.

 

[Hxc]

Probably about 3-4 litres, perhaps more as of late. I am going to have another blood sugar test as recently it's been drink-toilet-drink-toilet for days.

 

[FreeStream]

Not enough!

I have three bottles round the computer but most of the time they are empty!

 

[Locky]

I drink nothing but water, I cant get enough.

 

[aardvark]

So the recommended daily intake is like 8 large glasses or something.

the evidence has changed and so has the advice - drink when your thirsty, it makes no difference any other time - its water, not magic happy juice.

 

[Dr Who]

2-3 litres a day

Actually most "in the know" will disagree.

Thirst is the first sign of dehydration. Therefore if you only drink when you are thirsty then you probably aren't getting enough water.

See here http://mayoclinic.com/health/water/NU00283/NSECTIONGROUP=2

"...It's generally not a good idea to use thirst alone as a guide for when to drink. By the time you become thirsty, it's possible to already be slightly dehydrated. Further, be aware that as you get older your body is less able to sense dehydration and send your brain signals of thirst. Excessive thirst and increased urination can be signs of a more serious medical condition. Talk to your doctor if you experience either..."
