How much water do you drink every day?

None all by itself...does kool-aid count?

not enough

Not much, when it's cold, although now that it's warming up I might start glugging it again. Water is a good thing to take with you when you're out doing summery stuff. Mess-free and portable.

Karen, 22

Usually 4-6 glasses a day - lately

Felicia, 36

I've actually been hovering right around that 8 glasses deal lately.

I drink about 40 ounces of water per day. More if you include the coffee and tea that I drink.

Laura, 37

I'm never sure if we can count the water we use for making tea... but if that's the case, I drink about 8 glasses of water per day. If we're talking about plain water from the tap, I drink none. If I'm sick, I will make a point to drink plain water a couple of time a day.

I still drink the eight glasses a day that I did the last time this question was asked a few months ago.

Jane, 62

When I'm home I drink between 20 and 30 ounces a day. Like most people, the bulk of my moisture comes from food. I was very relieved to hear that the old 64 Ounces of Water Every Day recommendation was inaccurate.

Basically none, sadly.

One huge cup during work...probably about 4 cups in it and sometimes I refill it. I should drink more, but at least I drink some!

Tracy, 24
Ocean City

One or two cups.

Eric, 20
Beverly Hills

Usually 4 or 5 large sized bottles. It depends on how busy I am. I drink more water at school than at home.

Johanna, 18

Not enough...

how much water is in a sixer of MGD's?

A-Dog, 19

Who knows? Enough to keep me alive, I suppose.

Between 40-100 ounces, depends on the day.

Christina

Very very little.

Tubs and tubs full. But I live in Texas where it's so hot water just evaporates from your body spontaneously at enormous rates of speed. I nearly died of dehydration when I travel north because people up there don't drink as much. Meanwhile I've got my 5 gallon bucket with a straw and they're all giving me the eyeball.

Triana, 29

Interesting that this question is asked now... I used to hardly ever drink water, but for some reason this past year, my (now) wife and I have been drinking a lot of water and even more gatorade. Water with dinner, water when we go to bed, water during the day. I still probably don't drink as much as you are supposed to, but my intake has increased dramatically over the past year.

Doug2, 29
Overland Park

I drink at least 6 glasses a day of water.

lots

Alice, 21

I drink a lot of water. Lucky me-I like it.

Laney
TX  USA

bout 6 cups

Kyle, 16
OH  USA

I shoot for six 8 oz. glasses daily but I seldom make it. Usually 3-4 glasses.

Reba, 50+
Silver Spring
, MD  USA

I drink so much water. I walk everywhere, so I'm constantly thirsty. Also, I work out, and my water bottles are always being stolen by my boyfriend, so I'm usually a little dehydrated. Damn him.

Cancer, 20

I'd say close to the suggested 64 ounces a day-I'm a big water drinker.

Angela, 18
Bella Vista
, AR  USA

I average about six cups.

Oh, I am plagued with kidney stones and I drink at least 8-10 glasses of water a day. My urologist states that if everyone drank at least 6-8 glasses of water a day, most people would not have any kidney problems.  So drink you water. It flushes out your system, the kidneys filter out impurities and makes for a healthy body.
