Alot!

Probably around three 24oz bottles a day

If you count the iced tea then it is a lot maybe a gallon and a half in two days .

I drink close to a gallon a day and that includes my 2 cups of green tea at breakfast.I also have orange juice everyday at breakfast as well.Sometimes i'll even have a diet soda,not very often though.I used to drink a lot of propel,but gave that up when i went through chemo.They stress drinking alot bcause of the meds,and next thing you know it becomes a habit.

Bunches and bunches. Iced water, no additives.

I try to ensure that I drink at least 64 oz. of water each day. I love ice cold water. I also like Propel - all the flavors.

probably ... uhmmm at least 90 oz.
don't add any flavorings... just drink it!

Varies but I try to force myself to drink more water since I've been dehydrated a couple times and trust me, that's no fun. I keep water in the vehicle with me. I've always been a water drinker. I find it refreshing. I grew so tired of soft drinks and switched to water. I carry it with me and will have water with a meal from a drive thru too. Cheaper and better.

I drink mainly water and have for years. I have at least 8 - 8 oz glasses each day. I have 3 reusable water bottles placed in my house so that I always have one handy. If I'm traveling more than a few miles, I take one with me. I often order water instead of a drink at a restaurant....that's also partly to save money.

I'm not a water drinker...but I drink at least a half gallon(sometimes more) with "Great Value" brand Crystal light. I like the orange flavor. and the strawberry-banana-orange flavor.

I love plain water. I counted up the times I refill my stainless steel water bottle, and it adds up to a gallon.

I never drink pop, and I do like iced tea in the summer but only homemade. The stuff in the bottles and cans is gross.

I too have been dehyrated as I am not a water drinker, but try to drink alot every day especially in the winter as it is so dry here.

I'm an iced water drinker!

I drink lots of water every day--least a couple of quarts. I do have a half glass of Pepsi with my lunch (half a glass WITH the ice, so it's more like a quarter of a glass of soda). When I eat out, I get either water or unsweetened iced tea.

For years, I've been trying to convince my husband to drink at least some water--he usually drinks Coke or sweetened iced tea. He avoids water like it's toxic waste. Imagine my surprise last weekend, when he came in from shovelling snow and grabbed one of my water bottles intead of heading for the iced tea in the fridge! Hope he keeps it up.

I like water--and enjoy drinking it plain. I don't think I'd like flavored water at all. It needs no 'extras' for me'

If you drink enough liquids, you don't need plain water. I would avoid beverages with empty calories, but tea and coffee and soda and juices are all acceptable sources of water.

If you drink enough liquids, you don't need plain water. I would avoid beverages with empty calories, but tea and coffee and soda and juices are all acceptable sources of water. Pretty much what I was going to say. I've read the same thing. I drink lots of weak tea and coffee as well as several glasses of plain water daily.

I sent you an e-mail, I think.

I didn't think that coffee or soda for that matter could be counted as liquid intake because of the caffeine. But someone please clarify, I'm really not sure. I can tell you I drink 1 can of Mountain Dew a day. I know I should quit this but I have allowed my one can. I used to be much higher in my younger days and figure this is my compromise. I drink 1 cup of caffinated coffee a day (at most). I don't drink juice, not sure why though. I drink about 2 to 3 bottles of water a day, sometimes much more, sometimes much less.

My daughter is really good at drinking her water and prefers this over most anything. She drinks lots. I admire her because she hates pop and coffee and drinks very little juice. They say that's not always good for you because of what it does to the teeth. She does do a little apple and orange juice. She's never had a cavity and she's 23. I think that's amazing.

Anyway, this is about water and I don't drink enough but my daughter does. Sorry, I got off track on that one.

I used to drink a 2 liter bottle of diet pop everyday by myself. I wouldn't even touch regular water.

After thinking about all of the money I was wasting on pop and looking at the list of ingredients on the bottle enough times, AND having DH flat out ask me to PLEASE drink some water, I stopped drinking pop altogether about 5 weeks ago. I drink at least 5, 8 ounce glasses of water a day. Oddly enough, I actually LIKE it. I never EVER thought that I would ever hear myself say that.

No colas here, water is all I drink besides morning coffee and beer some evenings. Go out to eat...water

Probably at least a half gallon. Try adding a little lime juice to it.

If you get dehydrated, add lemon or lime juice. It helps your body rehydrate!!!!!!

I don't know about coffee, but I DO know that tea is a DIURETIC. You can not count on the water in your tea as water to hydrate your body. This was told to me by my OB-GYN. He wanted me to drink tea to keep my water retention down. I started drinking water almost exclusively when we went to Utah a couple of years ago, as there wasn't enough room in the RV frige for my tea. DH doesn't drink it. Now, when I drink a lot of tea, say in a restaurant, I need the facilities a lot more often!

lots of water, at least 64 ounces a day, exercise quite a bit, and always have water with me

Some of you said you drink soda for your liquids...

Maybe they are okay to use as a sub. but I've been hearing a lot about the fizz in sodas being bad for your bones...the brittle bone thing...and I'm worrying about mine anyway.

My cousin's Doctor told her not to drink it.

I really like my diet cola and have not been drinking it...I miss it.

I drink 8-10, 8 ounce glasses of ice water every day. I'm never without it. Years ago I was a diet coke addict, then switched to iced tea. Since stopping both and only drinking water, I have noticed a difference in my skin and energy level. I'd have highs and lows from the diet coke and tea, but water keeps me feeling balanced. Plus it's helped me lose 30+ pounds. Often times when I thought I was hungry, I was actually dehydrated.

I have given up diet pop for the winter. I drink Crystal Light and also hot herbal tea. I hope to stay away from diet pop this summer also. Pop, whether diet or not, is really bad for your teeth. I have a friend who is a dental hygenist who says Mountain Dew is the very worst for your teeth, followed by Coke and Pepsi.

I don't like water. When I was in Dodge City, Ks. I found the best water I ever tasted, I couldn't get enough of it. It tasted great!

I wasn't much of a water drinker until I stopped smoking. I switched to water! LOL and I drink lots of it a day! I have never been a pop drinker.....I do drink coffee in the morning and I enjoy a cup of tea in the evening, but I am drinking water all the time also. I also keep a bottle of water on the table beside the bed.

And yes, we buy bottled water. Our water tastes and smells terrible!!

Caffine also depletes your bones of calcium.

Not alot..the less I drink the less fluid I retain. I have a lymphatic system issue..and it doesn't easily rid of excess liquid.

Im only allowed 3- 12 oz of fluid a day that incldes soups etc too.

I don't drink water plain. I have it in my tea thats all. I'm a diet coke or diet pepsi drinker....not healthy I know.

Including tea (hot or unsweetened iced) I drink between 64 nd 120 ounces a day. I don't feel well if I drink less. I don't drink soda (diet or reg) or juice. I drink maybe 20 ounces of decaf coffee a day, but don't count that towards my water intake.

Very little water. I drink Crystal Light or Diet Coke, for the most part. No problem with my bones, never been dehydrated.

As I understand it, caffeinated beverages do cause some dehydration in people who don't regularly consume them, though even then, it's not as though you lose all the benefit of the liquid. You just don't get as much benefit as if it had been plain water. I've heard (and I don't remember where, so I have no idea if it's reasonable, but it makes sense to me) that you can count about 75%-80% of a caffeinated beverage as water equivalent.

I can't imagine that the body is so fussy about liquids. For centuries, people pretty much only drank alcohol (either by preference or because water wasn't reliably safe) and managed to stay alive.
