I'm just curious how much water everyone drinks a day?

when I'm home I drink about a glass every 40 minutes, so probably around 9 glasses a day

Fun fact: that whole "eight glasses of water per day" thing is not really based on any science. You should definitely stay hydrated, but how much water that takes depends on the individual. You also get water from drinking other liquids and eating foods.

Not nearly as much as I should, sometimes zero, then a cup after that. Other times I'll binge and drink half a gallon. There is no real average, it's random.

I tend to drink milk and juice mostly, but I've been trying to drink more water recently.

I'm usually exactly the same way, but I've been really sick for the last 3 weeks so I've been drinking so much water, I'm better now but it's sticking so that's good Image

basically, if you have a problem drinking enough water, get bronchitis for 3 weeks XD

Yeah I drink a lot of juice and tea. And when I do drink water it's not like I keep track or anything. Only time I drink a lot of water though is when I'm working out or sick
and that's the waaaaaaaaaay the news goes

I drink a quart of water every so often. Like, if I'm thirsty or something. Mostly I just drink lots and lots of soda and booze. Also I eat lots of soup and soup-like foods. Some of them have loads of water in them. Like, them Nissin Big Cups are about half water and half salt, insofar as I can tell.

Very little of my water intake is straight water. It usually comes in the form of soda, tea, juice, lemonade, etc.

Well, I've had a sore throat since May 16th, so I've been drinking a cup of hot water every hour. But when I'm not sick, I'd say I drink about 5-6 glasses a day. I only drink water and cranberry juice unless it's the weekend.

When I was a child my nephrologist told me that water was my best friend. So yeah I kind of took that to heart.
