January 29, 20206 yr I try for one gallon each day in addition to a cup of coffee in the morning. I drink nothing else.
January 29, 20206 yr At least 2 liters, I take a 1 L Nalgene bottle with me to work every day, finish it by lunch, fill it up again, then finish the rest usually on my way home. Then I'll have some more water here and there throughout the evening. A bit more or less on weekends depending on whether I'm playing softball/hiking or just lounging around at home.
January 29, 20206 yr I've got a 24 ounce cup that I just continuously fill so I'd say I get over a gallon daily nowadays.
January 29, 20206 yr I have a 2.2 liter jug that I usually finish over the course of the day and then sum. I also have coffee and occasionally will drink some OJ or V8 fusion juice.
January 29, 20206 yr I also have coffee and occasionally will drink some OJ or V8 fusion juice. The question was about water not juice and coffee.
January 29, 20206 yr Author I really hope I am not the only one who googled "how many ml in a gallon"
January 29, 20206 yr I really hope I am not the only one who googled "how many ml in a gallon" I'm sure someone else has googled it. Maybe a kid doing their math homework?
January 29, 20206 yr I really hope I am not the only one who googled "how many ml in a gallon" Should be about 3800. 3.8 liters per gallon. Yes I do know this off the top of my head. Thanks, toilets!
January 29, 20206 yr So @SongInTheAir doesn't actually drink much. Nah, I should be drinking a bit more. I mean, 3.7 liters is the recommended intake of fluids in a day, and I do drink a soda every few days or a juice here and there. I'm not drinking just water throughout the day. All that said, I should probably drink an extra bottle's worth of water each day.

February 22, 20215 yr I usually drink 1 gallon a day. One advice that I have seen some different doctors suggest is to take your bodyweight, divide it in half, and then drink at least that number in ounces for an optimal amount. For example, if someone weighs 200 pounds then ideally drink at least 100 ounces (12.5 cups) a day for optimal hydration. I usually round up to a gallon, especially when I exercise, you will actually need a bit more, so I would say 1 gallon a day is a good amount for most people each day.

That's pretty much exactly what I have been doing for some weeks now, although I stopped adding sugar to my coffee, just drink it plain, no milk, no sugar, so it's a little boring, but probably a better choice for me in the long run, and actually, after a few days I got used to it. 😂

I stopped adding sugar to my coffee a long time ago and don't miss it, but I need a little milk in there. Not too much but a bit, it is 2 percent milk though.

Although, sometimes my stomach doesn't handle milk too well, it's weird, sometimes I can drink it fine, and sometimes not. I've tried with almond/soy milk, doesn't do the trick for me, so I just end up drinking it plain. 😂

February 23, 20215 yr Milk is even better with meat. And Bailey's Irish Creame is fantastic in coffee.
February 23, 20215 yr Three things *Coffee should be black. You're a grown ass adult *Milk goes with everything. God bless it *Why is it so hard for me to drink water? Perpetually dehydrated my entire life
