Okay, I never have this much water a day or at least I don't think I do. I had a tea this morning, and I've had 5 large glasses of water so far today. I actually feel quite sick now. Can anyone else admit to drinking 8 large glasses of water a day?
What you do is get a small bottle, fill it with water, and put it next to your laptop/PC/wherever you're most in the day. Just keep sipping at it, and when it's empty, fill it up again... you'll be surprised how quickly you go through several bottles.
8 glasses= 4 pints= 2 litre's= 4 5oo ml bottle's all the same
Ooh if eight glasses is only 4 pints then I drink a hell of a lot more than that every day. I keep a pint glass one the go at home and get through at least 8 of them a day. I'm in and out the loo a lot but I feel really dehydrated if I don't get enough water.
I had throat problems and kept losing my voice. Doc suggested one and a half litres a day. Just build up to it. You can count tea and coffee in your limit if you have decaff. Def feel better if I drink all the water I'm supposed to. Great for fending off tiredness.
That statistic is bunk btw. It depends on all sorts, the temperature, how much physical exercise you're getting, your metabolism, all sorts. Drink plenty, definately, but don't feel like you're going to die if you don't reach some sort of standard.
bit random but bout 6 years ago i had a water drinking competition at my school! We were bored at lunch! We worked out i had 3 litres there and then! I have never felt so bad in my life! Who said that stuff is good for you! I felt like i was going to explode and lessons were interupted through all the lessongs that afternoon!

Thats what i do at work, drinking and collecting water is a good way to get out of actually working...
I think i drank 10 750ml bottles worth today... couldnt stop going to the toilet, but healthy!
