Medical Question, How many Glasses of water do you drink per day ?

~1 gallon, if you add up water, plain green tea, and rooibos.

I do work out a good amount too.

30-40

me too lol

It's not necessary to drink plain water.
That's a myth.

40 give or take

Huh? I herd though humans can live longer on water and going without eating food.

40 is too much for me

It depends on your activity level, the temps you are working under, and many other considerations, too. If you are a manual-laborer, you need more, if you are an athlete, more, if you are a mom, more, too. Your brain will not function if you are dehydrated, you get stupid!!! Slow in response time, and sloppy in movement, and prone to injury.
In the desert, much more is required, a semi-desert too.
And, in the end, each body is different in it's needs, and so to state a number would be misleading.
As we age, we absorb less water, less nutrition, less........... the elderly should think of using something like electrolytes to help the body absorb the water presented.
Pain level is deminished with dehydration, so, everything hurts, and with use will hurt more. Many athletes 'ignore' the pain to their own disadvantage. Treated a man who'd been a competetor in the Olympics who'd 'overtrained' and was useless in his field of competition.
So, RDA's are of no use at all. I live in the high-desert, and I try to drink 4liters of water a day, and mostly don't achieve that, but that is my goal, also elderly so...............

Right now I'm drinking 2 lt a day, laced with 1/4 tsp boron for the entire bottle. I'm feeling good.

At least 4 glasses of filtered fluoride free water. I use the zero water filter and makes everything free of all additives

I drink about 32 oz a day. It's easier if you start drinking first thing in the morning.

Zero.. Hate plain water..

oh, and I feel great evryday

Thats ridiculous. How can you hate plain water? We are over 70% water ourselfs and water keeps us alive. Try walking through the desert for a day see if you still 'hate' 'plain water' then.

Youre right but unless you want to drink 2000 calories of sweetened beverages or drink lots of caffeine or other garbage than I suggest you drink water.

Per meal..

I try to do 3 quarts.

But realize that black tea is a diarretic (spelling?)
Only herbal tea counts towards your water intake.

:red_heart:

Sjogrens.

1 Gallon or more.

Lately I've been drinking ALL sparkling mineral water - other water is boring.

I didn't drink soda pop before, however drinking this sparkling water would be a great way to STOP drinking soda pop.

Here is the traditional formula to the question of how much water should you drink.

Divide your wieght in two and drink that in ounces. So if you weigh 140lbd you should be drinking 70 oz of water per day.

im not sure but i have started drinking it more lately. drinking all those sugary drinks was making me fat.

i dont drink any lol and havent for over 20 years, occasionally i will have a glass but would be less than 2 litres a year

If you aren't drinking water that has the metals, fluoride, and meds filtered out, you aren't doing yourself any favors.

Ditch the soda. Probably the single worst thing you can ingest is soda. Absolutely awful! High fructose corn syrup, carbination, caffeine. Awful.

And ease up on the iced tea. Caffeine is a diarrhetic; meaning it dehydrates you. Also makes your heart beat hard when it doesn't need to. Puts a lot of stress on your heart.

personally i love plain water so anywhere between 2-4 liters a day

but i also love alcohol...

they balance each other out... :P

Look for water you just pay attention to your dip stick. If your pissing light colored urine or clear urine you have enough water. But if not then you are drinking too little water.

Also drinking too little water can lead to kidney stones which isn't something you want.

Also cut out the damn juices they are practically worse than sodas. Tea on the other hand is fine as long as you are drinking it without sugar.

Now the reason to avoid the fruit juices and the sodas is because they have alot of sugar in them, which in turns causes your body to have blood sugar spikes. And part of the bodies defense in blood sugar spikes is that it causes your body to piss out the sugar in your urine which causes you too dehydrate. <----- it's this reason that one of the symptoms of diabetes is being thirsty and excessive urination.

well said

removal of sugars, and a water only liquid diet, fresh foods reverses diabetes in many cases
