Do you drink enough water?
« 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.

I know I need to drink more water but I just can't seem to put my sweet tea down that's all I drink is sweet tea and it's just so hard to give it up

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 love to drink cold water. I usually drink three to five 16.9 ounce bottles daily. I even take one to bed so if i wake during the night i usually take a sip or two.

 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 was dehydrated once and it wasn't fun so I make sure I drink plenty of water now.

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.
