Title: Do you drink enough water?
Post by: pectacon on September 21, 2018, 09:48:30 am
How much water do you drink every day? I've been making sure to drink extra for the past few months, and I think I'm having fewer random headaches these days. Maybe I was dehydrated.

During the summer months I do drink enough water, not sure why it's easier for me in the summertime.  Come fall and winter I don't drink enough.   Usually drinking hot beverages when the weather cools.

Yes I always make sure I am drinking plenty of water.  I may drink 1 cup of coffee in the mornings and I large glass of iced tea during the day.  But  still mostly water, Even when I grab a bottle of flavored water *Zero"  I will drink half of the bottle in my  water to flavor it and then add bottled water the rest of the bottle and keep cold to finish up on. No calories or sugar in it.

I never drink enough water, but I do put a ton of ice in everything including my beer. So I think I get enough that way.

Health authorities commonly recommend eight 8 ounce glasses, which equals about 2 liters, or half a gallon so according to that no I don't drink enough water. I'll have to remember the 8x8 rule.

Most days  I drink plenty of water.  I make my Isashakes very diluted ensuring I get enough water.  I have an ex-Uncle that had once told me you should divide your weight in 1/2 and drink that amount of water in ounces.  On days I don't get enough water I wake up so sore and achy.  Sometimes so bad I have to pop some ibuprofren.

 I drink water and a lot of flavored seltzer water. Because I'm a diabetic  I drink around 48 ounces of water a day.  Definitely feel better when I drink between 30 and 48 ounces of water every day.  :sweat: :snowman: :peace:  :wave:

I have a very large silver tumbler that I drink out of every day, I refill it at least 6 times a day, except on Sunday's, I'm in church.

I never drink enough water, according to the health police. I've tried drinking 64 oz a day in the past, but I was literally running to the bathroom every half hour. I couldn't go for a walk or drive anywhere. That much water doesn't work for me apparently, so I just drink it when I start to feel dehydrated.

Remember all foods has water in it, very hard to count. My friend, that don't have kidneys, drinks up to 1 liter, or very little. Now my condition, my doc said I need to drink so so much water a day, I feel my eyeballs are swimming. Maybe you need to go to the doc's first.

I try to drink a lot of water but sometimes I just don't feel like water and I'll drink a glass of tea or another cup of coffee.  I don't like drinking water with meals either although I know that's what I should do.  With cooler temps on the way I probably won't drink as much water as I do thru the summer months but I'll be trying.

I usually drink 3 bottles of 169 oz Poland Spring water, a cup of tea and sometimes a can of diet soda.

Post by: brian8713 on October 01, 2018, 10:44:38 am
No. I frankly don't even like the taste of water. I know it's weird, but I always need Crystal Light or something if I'm going to drink water plain. I have about 2 and a half glasses of water through my work shift and then have the rest of my water when I go home at night and eat dinner. I probably get more water than I think, but throughout the day I'm usually pretty dehydrated.

Hello! :D :)


I know I don't drink enough water which is something I definitely need to change. I'm working on it as I write this it's a bad habit that I definitely need to rid myself of. :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose:

Some days I don't but I do a water flush every Wednesday.  I call it a water flush because I drink 8 bottles of water and end up going to the ladies room nonstop.

I agree.  Headaches are the body's way of letting us know something is needed more or less of.

I don't mind drinking different variations of water but they really do taste different.  My favorite at the moment is Sam's Choice from Walmart and Krogers' water.  The water from Dollar Tree tastes like what I imagine oil to taste like and the water from the discount grocery store tastes literally like tap water.

I drink a lot of water, probably too much. I prefer deer park.

Try the additive from Walmart Great Value Brand that you add to water.  I really like it as it give the taste of sweet tea and I get my daily water consumption.

6 cups is a decent amount; I know they say we should get a gallon per day but our urine is clear after only 3 cups and a gallon per day seems excessive when taking into account all the bathroom runs.

About 6 cups i should get more but i haven't lately

Excellent point; I think we forget the water content in foods.

Remember all foods has water in it, very hard to count. My friend, that don't have kidneys, drinks up to 1 liter, or very little. Now my condition, my doc said I need to drink so so much water a day, I feel my eyeballs are swimming. Maybe you need to go to the doc's first.

Water is my favorite drink and I take in plenty daily.  I try not to drink much liquid at night so I won't have to make the bathroom runs.  I keep bottles everywhere in all the rooms of the house and all the cars.

How much is enough water?  Ten gallons isn't enough if I sweat out twelve gallons.  Just saying.  I drink 1.5-2 gallons a day year round.  More in the summer.
