How much water do you drink?

How much water do you drink a day?  What other beverages do you drink?

I'm trying to drink about 64 ounces of water and 16-24 ounces of milk and/or V-8 (low sodium).  Is this enough?  I already feel like I spend my day in the bathroom. . .but I know that being hydrated is very important!

TIA!

Re: How much water do you drink?

  • At work, I have a 24 oz. water bottle that I usually fill 2-3 times a day. I also drink milk with all my meals. In the evening, I will usually drink 1-2 glasses of 100% juice or else some more water. One thing I do have to do, is stop drinking water about 30 min. before bed as I am up on an average of 3 times a night to pee but lately it has been 4-5 times!

  • I have a 24 oz bottle too and I fill it twice at work.  Plus a huge glass of oj in the morning, and more water with dinner and PNV.  I am not convinced it is enough, but it feels like a lot....  TMI but my pee is pretty clear inthe middle adn end of the day and isn't that a sign that you are getting enough??
    It sounds like you are drinking a lot of water, I am sure it is fine.

  • on a typical work day, I usually have a glass of OJ or tomato juice in the morning with my prenatal vitamin, and then either a 1 or 1.5 liter bottle of water (depending on what they have at starbucks that's cold).  Then usually I have a couple of glasses of either seltzer or water with dinner too.  On the weekends it's not as much, but I do try and drink a lot of fluids.  I feel like no matter what I'm going to be in the bathroom all day, so might as well drink water too.

  • I try to drink at least 3L. I drink mostly water, with some tea and milk throughout the day.

    My theory though is that if my pee is yellow, I'm not drinking enough.

  • I don't think I get enough.  I know I have to be more conscious about it, but I feel like I pee all the time too!
