How much water do you drink?

[preciousjewel76]

How much water do you consume daily? Hydration is important not only for our hair , but for the rest of our body. I think the recommendation is 8 glasses (or 64 ounces) per day. Do you drink that amount, more, or less? Why or why not?

BTW, I think I drink about 10 glasses per day, but I'm one of those weirdos that loves water. I rarely drink anything else.

I drink 64 ounces...sometimes more or less. I have a tall, red, thin 1-qt (32-oz) Rubbermaid water bottle that I take around with me all day. All I need is two of those and I'm set. If I haven't finished at least two, I know I need to drink more before bed. Plus with taking all my vitamins, it is pretty easy to drink that much.

I was told that you should drink half your body weight in ounces which makes since because we are all different. For me it's around 64 ounces that I TRY to drink.

I have a 70 oz bottle that I fill up every morning and down by 10 am. I HATE WATER, but I have realized that I need it.

Another weirdo checking in!!! I've been a big water drinker since I was a kid...my mom gets credit for that one! I drink at least half my body weight in ounces...more if I'll be consuming alcoholic beverages. I fill my water bottle and carry it with me to work, it holds about 1 liter of water. If I finish it and refill once I've made my water intake goal for the day. Nowadays I do it consciously, but before I'd just always keep a glass of water close by...the bigger the better.

Your body weight / 2 = how many ounces of water you should be drinking per day

Example:

100lbs/2 = 50 oz. water per day

150lbs/2 = 75 oz. water per day

 

[XXXtacy]

Not enough!!! I must starting drinking more water!!

This is a struggle that has lasted many many years for me. Hopefully, I will beat it one day.

Yeah, taking vitamins definitely helps! I know I have to wash down my daily multivitamin and my HSN vit with lots of water - the pills are pretty big. And I keep a water bottle with me, too. I have a 16 oz. bottle that I fill up 2x a day at work. And once I get home, I fill up a big 32 oz. tumbler with water and sip that throughout the evening. I really feel dehydrated in the mornings, so one of the first things I do is drink a big glass of H2O. I won't even discuss how many times I'm using the restroom at work, though, LOL.

I don't drink enough...I'm trying to drink 64 oz daily but I slip up because I really really hate water BUT I have definitely laid off of my coke pops...I use to buy cases and when I run out I use to run to the store and stock back up so lately I have been drinking juice and errrr.....ummm...KOOL-AID......I have to have something tasty to drink when I eat or believe it or not I will not eat I eat...I just run out and grab something...I just don't eat right then

 

[rootdeep]

Just water alone....I was just drinking 75 but thats not enough anymore. I'm going to UP IT and see how it goes. PRAY FOR MY BLADDER! LOL

 

[Royal Glory]

Yeah. Once every hour?

But it's good for many reasons. It also helps avoid some headaches too, because a headache can be a sign of dehydration.

 

[erin558]

im trying to get better at the whole 8 glasses a day thing but my bladder won't have none of that!!

 

[BabyImaStarr]

I try for somewhere between 75 - 80 oz. a day. I love me some water, but I think that I hit 75 - 80 3 of the 7 days in a week. The otehr days I am somewhere between 50 - 64 oz.

i only drink water. i hate juice and soda it leaves a film in my mouth that i just cant take. this is part of the reason i just dont buy the water is great for hair and body stuff. its all i drink and i have dry, brittle hair, bad vision and have suffered from kidney stones and im only 25!!

 

[keluric]

10-14 8 oz. glasses/day. I grew up on lemon water and love it.

 

[Cichelle]

2 liters a day. Water is the only thing I drink.

 

[WhipEffectz1]

32ozs a day

 

[ak46]

Drinking more water has been my hardest challenge yet! I used to go days without drinking water...only juice, etc. Now I try to drink at least two 16.9 oz water bottles a day (~35oz). I know that's only half of what I should be drinking but it's a start. Hopefully sooner than later I will get up there with you ladies that drink approximately 64oz a day.

 

[bablou00]

I drink half my body weight which is a liter and a half a day. Also 2 cups of cranberry juice to flush out toxins and a glass of milk or juice. I love to fluids!!!!

 

[HoneyDew]

I don't really count how much I drink. Ijust keep a refillable water bottle with me and just drink as much as possible. I don't really like thinking too much about it.

But, if I stop drinking my water like this, I notice my skin changes. I get dark circles under my eye and my skin feel dry.

 

[Mom23]

I drink 2 liters faithfully, trying to increase to 3 per day.

 

[Sharpened]

80-96 oz daily...anymore than that and I would need an adult diaper...

 

[CAPlush]

Um, I am only at 1.5 liters a day (not including teas or juices). That's all I can take at the moment. I hope to go to 2 liters soon.

100lbs/2 = 50 oz. water per day

150lbs/2 = 75 oz. water per day

This is what I've been doing for years now. It really works to keep us healthy!

 

[lovelymissyoli]

... water is the only thing I drink, so I rarely keep track of the ounces. I do know though that I drink more than 48 ounces a day. I haven't touched a soda in about 2 years, and I rarely drink juice. So my water intake is up to par!

 

[Kalayani]

I drink 3 liters a day...i make sure where ever i go i have a bottle of water with me. Once soda its my lips its a wrap...i would drink 5-6 cans without thinking twice.

See, I am such a wimp when it comes to soda! I can drink something like Sprite, but I find most other carbonated drinks to be too "strong". The acid in them burns my poor little throat. But there are some folks that I know that will start drinking sodas at 8 AM and never stop....

 

[SUPER SWEET]

I drink about 70 ounces a day...it's tough but I make myself do it.

 

[Hareitiz]

I try to drink at least 60 ounces of bottled water a day. Sometimes I mix it with Crystal Light lemonade or drink a few cups of lemon tea as well.

 

[Angelicus]

I do about a half gallon a day, a little more or less. I also consume these liquids on a regular basis (in addition to the half gallon):

rice milk
herbal tea
protein shake
