All of us know water is an essential for our body to maintain its metabolism and good health. We can keep away major percentage of diseases by drinking the right amount of water. I watched some YouTube videos on drinking water. There are plenty of videos available in YouTube informing the right method of drinking water like when to drink, how to drink, whether cold or hot is the right choice etc. In fact, after watching all those I become more confused. Some are saying drink only when you feel thirsty, else your brain becomes confused. Some says drink plenty of water, some other says drink water according to the body weight. What is your take on drinking water? Image credit - Pixabay

You are doing the right thing, in summer we sweat and require more water.

@UriahAnne Excess water also create havoc in our body, if the person is not physically active much and climate is cold.

I never force myself to do something if I do not feel my body needs it, I drink only when my body asks.

@Sreekala This is what I always do and when I forced my body to do something I always regretted.

They usually say drink 8 glasses of water a day but my doctor says 5 to 6 glasses is okay since I have a little bit of heart condition...

IF there is health issues, then definitely we must follow the doctor's advise.

I drink around 1200ml or more. 1200ml is the max quantity of my tumbler. Since I always carry it around, I tend to drink it occasionally.

I think one should consume enough liquids that our body needs with thirst or without thirst.

It was confusing to listen that idea, drink only when you are thirsty. If the climate is so cold and people may feel thirst rarely. May be the amount of water needed for that people less. Still this idea is not a wise one.

I drink water when I am thirsty. Here, it is said a man should drink approximately 3.7 liters (13 cups) of water a day and a woman should drink 2.7 liters (9 cups) a day.

I only drink when I need to. But I like to keep well hydrated so I drink when I think I need to. Which sometimes I might not actually need to

I drink tea or water when I feel like to drink even if am not thirsty. I see to it that I drink at least 2 liters of water and any teas per day.
