How much water do you drink in a day?

Almost no plain water. I drink a couple of glasses of milk, two or three Nestle Fat Free hot cocoas and a can of diet pop at work, and probably another cup or so of diet pop in the evening, so I get fluids.

About two litres. I always make sure to stay hydrated.

Some days, half as much as recommended. Some days a lot less. Hardly ever what the Dr suggests.

Cristin, 25
Frisco, TX USA

I would guess between two to three liters, at least.

Ryan, 29

Not enough. I shoot for the requisite eight glasses - sometimes I make it and sometimes I don't. I am the high priestess of water at our office - I collect the money for the bottled water and pay the bill, so sometimes I am sick of water.

Cindy, 41
VA USA

Not much. But I drink a lot of Kool-Aid, and there's water in that.

Karen, 23
Ames, IA USA

Not enough, that's for sure! I try to get in 8 eight ounce glasses, but rarely succeed.

Tam

Three 20 ounce bottles, although I've been slacking off lately. Take it from one who absolutely hated drinking water until four months ago... it does do a body good!

Fisch, 47
Preston, CT USA

One or two poland spring water bottles a day.

KarenNJ, 45
Milltown, NJ USA

Forty-eight to sixty ounces if I'm home all day and much less when I'm out gadding.

Jill, 61
Saylorsburg, PA USA

Lately about a pint to a quart but I've also been drinking a lot of juice.

Alias Irrelevante

About 4 to 6 10-ounce glasses of water a day.

Laura, 38
Lowell, MA USA

I drink approximately 4 glasses a day. I try to drink more but so far I haven't succeeded.

Reba, 57
Gaithersburg, MD USA

We've had this question, or a very similar one, before. I still drink two quarts or more of water a day.

Jane, 63
West Linn, OR USA

Not much water, I'd say maybe maximum three glasses a day but I drink other liquids too
