How much water do you drink everyday?

[Stocker]

No, this is not a modern health thread. Just a question. Growing up on the farm we drank water out of hoses, hydrants, old pump wells, we even had cups wired up to the end of tile lines. I’ve always drank a ton of water everyday and never have really drank pop/soda of any kind.

My wife has one of them water jugs that women carry around now and drinks like 80-100oz a day. So over the past week I’ve been keeping track of mine and I average about 200 ounces a day. So am I gonna die of kidney failure or live forever? A kid I played college ball with drank more than I thought possible but he had a rare liver condition that required it.

A few guys I’ve known over the years absolutely will not drink water, they live on Mountain Dew and beer. I just think it’s funny how some people drink a lot of water and some don’t seem to need it to survive.

Probably close to 150oz a day

I drink a 30 oz yeti cup of coffee in the morning and water the rest of the day. I fill a gallon milk jug and have to refill it. No pop, I do drink a beer with my supper most days and occasionally I’ll have a lemonade during the day. I do add 1/2 a lemon or lime to my water jug each morning.

Idk how much but it’s a lot. If I’m just doing office work, I’d say about 2.5 - 3 nalgenes.
Twice that if working outside in the heat.
The Rancher I worked for growing up would drink a small glass in the morning and a few sips at lunch. “That shit will rust your stomach if you drink too much of it” he’d say. I would have died before 8AM everyday if I only drank his amount of water.

I hear Ginger Ale is all the rage now.

I drink a ton of water all day. I don’t think my dad has had a glass of water without something else in it in 40 years.

I probably average 64 ounces of water and 72 ounces of Diet Coke on a normal day. That is sitting at a desk in air conditioned comfort. Working outside or exercising can be a LOT more.

Perrier Prostaffer here. Most days I'd say it's close to 175 Oz or more.

Somewhere between 120 and 150oz

Not enough that's for sure. There's weeks where I'll drink a gallon or more a day. Then won't drink anything other than beer or soda for a month at a time.

Have you had Topo Chico in the glass bottles?
As someone else you know would say, “that’s a top notch refreshment, partner”.

A round with Kidney stones will show you the way.

FIL drinks about 8 oz of coffee in the morning, maybe 20 oz of water throughout the day, and 1-2 beers each night. I don't understand how he isn't leather yet.

If he goes to the gym he adds an additional 8 oz of water.

Water? I have nerve damage and it's noticeable as heck when I drink a good qty. My body feel whooploads better!
Even with that said, my coffee intake likely equals the water. I carry a Nalgene bottle and most occasions I have 1/2 - 1/4 left end of each work day. I don't drink near enough water...

Topo Chico is the ultimate bubbler.....

It's more like a treat than anything else

I do the same. Big yeti of coffee and I fill 2 milk jugs with water for the day. I’m not consistent in intake though. Some days I’ll drink 1 1/2 jugs by noon other days I’ll still have some left in the evening.

 

[Wildabeest]

Does LaCroix count? Asking for @wllm1313.

Spent a lifetime not drinking enough. Paying for it now with worn out joints, kidney stones, etc. My goal is min 64 oz / day, but if I get thru 32 then that’s an average day. I just don’t get thirsty. Don’t be me!

 

[BackofBeyond]

Two pots of coffee in the morning, and I have a 60 oz yeti rambler that sits on my desk at work. Usually drink at least one of them while at the site. Afterwards it’s ice water at home, or a couple Le Croix with dinner/afterwards.

I drink a ton of water everyday

 

[Hilljackoutlaw]

I'm terrible at drinking water. At this moment I haven't drank just water since last tuesday. I often wonder how I would feel if I drank water like I should. Cause I feel pretty dang good drinking none. Haha

 

[rtraverdavis]

I’m usually at five or six Nalgenes of water on a normal work day, with a pot of coffee mixed in there as well. In the summer working outside it’s quite a bit more. My joints hurt just thinking about drinking Mt Dew all day…
