How many glasses of water do you drink everyday?

I'm just wondering if there are a lot of people who really follows the ideal everyday water intake which is 8 glasses. As for me, there are times that i really drink even more than 8 glasses, and yes, i'm counting it :), but there are also times that i don't specially when i'm not already tired of going back and forth the comfort room to pee. How about you, do you do the same?

Hello Jasmin, How are you? I don’t count the glass of water I drink daily but here it is very hot which force me to drink more water in a day. You need to take lots of water in this time which will benefit you in many ways. If you are at home then there won’t be any problem to go to the comfort room frequently. Take care

In pregnancy, we need more water to avoid urinary infection.

I'm not human. I drink a lot of water, but I don't drink glasses of it because I drink 2 glasses too fast. I drink a nice, cool, refreshing, gallon of water. Yeah, I can drink that much at once. If I am out somewhere, I would buy the gallon jug (although it irks me not to find cool ones, who want's to drink hot water?), because it is cheaper than the bottled water, and if you are someone like me, one gallon is not hard to consume. But I have been told to drink one ounce per kg of bodyweight (for me that would be 170 oz of water a day, almost 1.5 gallons). It is easy for me to drink 64 oz of water while I am waiting for a bus, or just walking (which would be the eight glasses). It freaks people out to see someone drinking that much, because they complain that they would constantly have to use the restroom, but I don't, unless I overdo it. I know when I am hydrated because I can stand outside be cool in 90 degree heat. But then again, on hot days I can go through as much as 3 gallons in a day. I am a big guy, and my body is pushed all day, so it needs fuel and hydration. It's like fueling a truck.

i didn't used to always drink water like this. But I wasn't always such a big active guy either. I had no idea that I would end up killing entire gallons of water. I couldn't get through it at first, but now, it doesn't feel like a lot. I am always asked if I can drink it, when I am on the street with it, and explain it is not hard by showing how little this jug is compared to my stomach. I have been told that I could cause a drought if I wanted to.

Wow. That is crazy. It is very healthy and I admire you. I can barely get myself to drink the normal eight glasses of water. You get cooler when you hydrated?? I did not know that. The heat makes me thristy for water but I did not know you are cooler if you drink water. Keep drinking the water =D

I am not sure since I don't count on how many glasses of water I will have everyday. But I am sure that I will drink more than 8 glasses of water a day. The water is the healthies drink. And I will try to drink more whenever I have free time. And I also have a big glass and therefore I won't drink less:) I love China

Water can be healthy...and it is...but do you know where your water comes from? some times water is not as healthy as you think!

oh, you have a point there. In saying that, we must be careful as well and check if the water we drink is safe :)

Not nearly enough. I probably drink about six glasses of water when I should drink about twice that. When I had a trainer she told me I needed to drink a gallon or more but I was training then. You don't want to get dehydrated in the heat so it is good to drink more when it is hot.

I usually try to do the 8 to 9 glasses of water a day. I don't know why but I'm a sucker for water. Friends have been teasing me as an 'water-holic' since I have my own stash of water in my bag wherever I go or I would decline any other beverage other than water. For me, water makes me refreshed than other beverages. Also, it helps to clean my body. So I would rather clean and nourish my body with water and with the right amount.

"waterholic" wow, that's a nice one, you've made me smile there. I have a new word now to call my dad. Yeah, my dad is like you and no one in the family can ever beat him when it comes to drinking water. He never drinks in a glass, he has his own pitcher and he consumes that in one drinking.

My mom makes it a goal everyday to drink at least two liters of water. I, on the other hand, since Summer is really hot, I drink water from time to time. Just to avoid heat stroke and to rehydrate myself. I don't count but I do drink a lot of water everyday. It's a great help.

I drink a whole zero glasses of water, and feel that I'm less healthy because of this bad choice.

I used to never drink water, like ever. I would probably have one glass about a week if there was nothing else to drink. I would drink soda constantly that was probably the only thing I would drink. I started a diet not too long ago and have started drinking so much more water, probably about 4 to 5 water bottles a day which I know is still not enough but it is a lot better. I am trying to get up to eight a day but sometimes its easier to go to the soda because that is what im so used to and it just taste so much better. I really don't like water and the crystal light has really helped me drink water, because it pretty much taste like kool aid. I do pee a lot more now. Its annoying but so is working out and I am trying to do that daily =)

I do not actually count how many glasses of water I drink. But it is roughly around 5 glasses. I do not count by glasses because I usually and most of the times use my water bottle. Since, I am in home, I do not really know how many glasses I drink.

I don't know how many glasses of water I drink but it's quite a lot. I think I get my dose of 8 glasses of water. I drink water quite a lot actually. I always have my water bottle with me where ever I go.

It's a good thing you always have your water bottle with you, so that whenever your thirsty you can drink. Before, i used to have water bottle with me as well, but it makes my bag heavy so i just leave it at the office. Then, if i need to drink when i'm outside, i just buy in convenience stores :)

While staying at Chennai, India I use to drink nearly 6/8 glasses of water depending on thirst. But here in USA roughly four glasses of water since u do not feel thirsty more here in view of climate conditions.

I tend to drink quite a lot; one in the morning, about 2 500ml bottles during the day at college and some more in the evening. It's all I tend to drink which is probably why. Also I go to the gym quite a lot, so need to drink a lot for that.

I like many have tried to drink the 8 glasses of water a day and don't do it anymore. I stopped about 6 months ago when I started throwing the water up . I almost drowned myself with the water I drank. I can see doing 4 or even 5 glasses of water a day but once I reach that 6th glass the water comes up when I burp and it makes me sick.
