I drink one gallon every day, curious if anyone consumes more and if so how much? Considering upping my intake.

breitlings · 23 September 2020, 02:19 AM

I do drink a lot purified water. I also realize in heat, when I'm working outside on the boats or something, I have to have gatorade too. I never was a fan but it does help.

CamSLC · 23 September 2020, 02:21 AM

5 refills of a 24oz comes to .90 gallons which is what I drink normally. 1-2 cans of soda water while working too

330ci · 23 September 2020, 02:26 AM

I fill a 1 gallon jug up every day before I go out biking or to work and fill my reusable bottle up with it throughout the day and generally have none left by the end of the day.

Blansky · 23 September 2020, 02:38 AM

The thinking is you should drink around 80 to 100 fluid ounces a day. A gallon is 128. (US)

Although there are people that say it's nonsense and only drink when you are thirsty. The 8 glasses of water a day is a relatively new fad.

I could go all day and rarely drink anything. For the first 40 or so years of my life I rarely drank much water except when doing sports.

One thing to remember is over drinking water/fluid also washes minerals (electrolytes) out of the body which is not a good thing.

Loss of electrolytes can lead to heart palpitations and other issues.

Also coffee is a diuretic which increases the excretion of liquid from the body and can cause dehydration. So the thinking is, if you drink a ton of coffee, you should drink more water.

Personally every morning I fill a water container with around 80 and sort of monitor it during the day. Sometimes I drink it all and other times I don't.

Playing sports I drink a water bottle full of water/electrolyte mixture. Not gatorade.

brandrea · 23 September 2020, 02:44 AM

I do.

According to this article from the Mayo Clinic, that’s about right for men.

Never measured but always have a large glass of water with me during waking hours. Then spend too many trips at night to get rid of it.

brandrea · 23 September 2020, 02:47 AM

everyday for the last 12 1/2 years one gallon per day plus other liquid intake.. The very first i do in the morning before anything is drink a 22oz glass of water have never missed a day... Does it work..? Dunno but will continue onwards doing it... Never thought others were in this camp..

droptopman · 23 September 2020, 03:00 AM

Yes, at least that much. I really do not "track" it, but usually fill up my 24 oz cup five or six times at work during a normal day. If golfing in the heat will drink a 16 oz bottle about every other hole or so. Normal weather drink 3-4 bottle a round. I also drink a lot of coffee....I love coffee!

FTX I · 23 September 2020, 03:07 AM

I would get drowned if I did. Half that I'm sure. Especially in the morning right after bed.

Yes we do in our house and have for many years.

I drink more than that, closer to 2 gallons with electrolyte packs mixed in. Currently eat a high protein diet and get an hour of sweaty aerobic in every day. A high protein diet makes me thirsty.

thesharkfactor · 23 September 2020, 03:44 AM

I think I drink more Coca-Cola than water. This is a cold climate where I am though.
Last time I was in a hot climate, the water was pouring off my chest forehead and back as fast as I was pouring it down my throat, must have been 3gallons/15litres on those days.. I guess it depends how you are acclimatised to your climate?

Be careful with all that soda

SunTzu · 23 September 2020, 04:03 AM

A woman I know ended up in the hospital with water poisoning for drinking too much.

I drink @ 32oz a day not to mention a boatload of coffee.

This is something i need to change. I don't drink nearly enough, if at all sometimes. I drink coffee in the morning. I always have something to drink with dinner, It's either water or a beer.

I'm never thirsty unless hiking or biking etc.

Your brain and skin will thank you

GB-man · 23 September 2020, 04:18 AM

No closer to 100 oz

Bob the brush · 23 September 2020, 05:11 AM

With out a doubt, I'm a bit of a hydroholic if I'm honest, . I start the day with a pint of warm water, I do a physical job, and keep a 2 litre bottle of water in my van, and this is refilled at lunchtime, if I'm offered a drink by customers, I always ask for water.

Some days I don’t drink anything at all, other days I’m really thirsty and will have about 2 litres.

I do eat a lot of vegetables and high water content foods though so rarely dehydrated.

dba · 23 September 2020, 05:23 AM

No.

Pw92676 · 23 September 2020, 05:44 AM

Not always but I try.

If you include water flavored with coffee bean extract or hops, then yes I reach that :)

SearChart · 23 September 2020, 05:44 AM

About 3 liters of water, then one or two cups of coffee or tea and some milk on most days.

No soda whatsoever, and I limit myself to 2 glasses of something with alcohol a week (usually single malt whisky).

rmlovett1 · 23 September 2020, 05:46 AM

A quart right when I wake up...another quart during a two hour and 45 minute workout ..and then three more quarts throughout the day
