I probably drink no where near enough water for myself. For some reason, I think I heard that it's recommended to drink about 8 ounces. Wouldn't that be considered about 3 big glsses full. 8 ounces is pretty small after all. I guess it wouldn't be difficult to drink that much, it's just that sometimes water can be pretty boring. However, it tastes nice when you're really thirsty and it's ice cold.

From what I've heard. We should drink at least eight glasses of water each day to keep ourselves healthy. If a glass has 250ml of water, then it means that we should drink at least 2 liters of water each day. Have you been drinking the essential amount of water? =P

Like I mentioned, I probably haven't been drinking enough water. The only time I've drank enough water was when I was pregnant and nursing my babies.

You should drink water in normal temperature- not too hot and not too cold. Yeah, 8 glasses can sound very much, but if you drink it little by little then it is just nothing, good luck with this.

I go through a lot of water. On a normal day, I would drink between 1 and 1.5 gallons of water (approximately 4-6 liters) a day. That would be 16-24 8 ounce cups, but I usually buy a jug of water and drink out of that. On days I am working harder, it comes out to 2 gallons (8 liters) in a day. I'm a big guy so that is how I am able to drink so much water, and work up a thirst, but as I said earlier, on my slowest days, I can still manage to drink one gallon. I usually take a jug with me everywhere I go, even to bed some times to have something to drink during the night without having to go to the kitchen. Amazingly, I would take a full jug with me, but when I wake up, it is empty. It seems I have the water consumption of a fish. What I don't like is that stores don't usually don't sell these things cold, like other bottle water. I guess not many people drink out of jugs like that, and it doesn't look normal, but then again, I am not normal.

I mostly used to have five or six large glasses of water on all days. I love drinking water. My mother always advises me to have a large number of water to have fresh pretty skin. Is it true ?
Does drinking more water makes our skin at it's best ?
