Ann Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 How many glasses of water do you drink each day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 I can't believe I even asked this question...lol! I have to be the absolute worst about drinking enough water. 6-8 glasses a day...no way! I really feel as if I need to give myself a pat on the back if I get down two bottles of water a day. I drink other things that have water in them... like tea...but I just have trouble with plain water. My mom used to be the same way, so I think this is a mental thing. Yes...I know how important this is for my health and I really do try...sometimes!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.C. Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Ann, I don't count the water in tea or coffee, soups etc, I know that in the hospital they even count the water used to make jello.... Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchurchi Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Here is an even worse example. I am an athlete and I do not even consume 1 glass of water a day, been that way my entire life. I am a camel. One of my Drs who is an elite athlete is the exact same way. the body is amazing, it will adapt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trish2418 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I drink about 5 or 6 9-oz. bottles of water a day. Tarceva really dries me out and I just seem to need the constant water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilyjohn Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I started drinking a lot of water a few years ago when I joined Weight Watchers. Because it is easier to have with me I started drinking bottled Spring Water( I won't pay for purified water). I got spoiled to the spring water and now I have a bottle with me at all times. I guess I drink about 5 16 ounce bottles a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welthy Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I tend to only drink two+ bottles of water each day. I do re-use my bottles after thorough cleaning and refill with filtered water because manufacturing of plastic bottles uses millions of barrels of oil every year. Also, never recycle bottles with the caps on. They are two different types of plastic and will be pulled from the recycling process. Tea, coffee, and caffeine soda do NOT count for water each day as the caffeine is a diuretic. Learned that from Weight-Watchers too! Oops --- this was supposed to be a "just for fun" topic. Soap-box put away now... (Daughter was home last night and we were chatting about different cities thinking about banning bottled water.)

Nova Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 What a handsome picture of Tony! (I've just noticed it!) I don't drink plain water. It makes me feel sick! I drink about a half gallon of iced tea per day though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick C Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I read you are supposed to drink an ounce for every two pounds plus an ounce for every year old you are... That would have me at over a gallon a day...can't be right. I easily drink 6-8 a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
