I think everyone knows that we should drink one and a half liters of water daily, during summer I can easily drink much more than that but It Is very different during winter I think It has to do with the cold but I don't feel the need to drink water and I always drink less than 1 liter every day I really want to increase my water intake but I often come back home with water in my bottle. Do you know a trick to drink more water during winter? Do You drink enough water?

You need to drink from 1.5 to 2l. I did not drink much water before, but in time I made myself and it became my habit.

@Nevena83 Do you have a big cup? Do you drink water even if you are not thirsty?

I don't drink enough water. Sometimes I fill a jug and leave in on the sink. I'll try to drink it all by nightfall.

I don't drink sodas and I like plain water, it is only difficult for me to drink enough during winter.

For "water" we intend "liquids" so if you drink coffee, or you have a soup this counts.

@nela13 I drink more or less one liter of water, but also other liquids during the day and I think it's enough.

Some people flavor it. I like my water plain. I just drink it with every meal and sip it throughout the day. I hope it helps. Then again, I'm in a warm climate.

@nela13 Then you seem to be doing ok. Our bodies tell us when we need to drink more.

My doctor told me to cut back on water because it was washing the necessary sodium from my body. I didn't know I had it. So, my intake is three 500 ml bottles of water a day.

@nela13 Yes, the doctor told me the reason I was parched all the time was that I was drinking too much water and the sodium level in my blood was gone. I needed to keep it to three bottles and no more. When I did, the next blood test came back good.

I've heard you should drink 8 eight ounce glasses of water per day. But you can count other liquids toward that goal. I know I drink nowhere near that amount of water a day. I drink when I feel thirsty and I'm sure water requirements vary with the person.

Yes, it counts every liquid intake. I think when we feel thirsty we are already in need of water.

Do you drink tea, coffee or other juices. There is also a certain amount of water or fluid in food. Some people are too obsessed about drinking although it is good to keep well hydrated.
