Drinking water!

How much water do you normally drink?

Bananarama

Just wondering, do many people here actually stick to the guidance of '2 litres of water a day'?

No. Its a ridiculous amount of water to drink in one day, and what good is it when it comes straight out the other end after like 5 minutes?!? I'm the complete opposite, I'm doing well if I have one glass in 2 days. Seriously!

Depends, if at home probably not. But if i go to the gym i'll easily consume a litre of water in under an hour - so i guess that 2 litres of water a day is really relative to what you're doing. If you're hiking in the desert for example 2 litres won't be enough.

I drink about a litre a day.
I don't drink tap water (it's very dodgy here) so buy bottled water that I leave on my desk.
It's within arms reach, so is perhaps the main reason why I drink as much as I do anyway.

I probably have about a litre as well. Some days I may make it to 2.

Are you diabetic? Or been tested for it?

I try to.

Normally, I'd drink upwards of 2.5L when I'm at home, at work I can drink loads but on the wards at school I can barely snatch a drink at all because we never seem to stop.

i havnt drunk much water since i moved. the water here tastes awful, its not just hard it smells disgusting and it tastes of chlorine and whatever else they ahve used to process it. ive gotten a water filter but tbh i have gotten into the habbit of drinking (mostly green) tea instead. even if you added up the tea and fruit juice i still wouldnt drink 2 litres a day tho XD

I dont drink much at work (less than a litre, say about 0.8ltr) because i dont like having to go for a piss all the time lol. When i get home i usually drink over a litre (2 x 0.5ltr bottles and some glasses here and there). So i reckon i easily drink 2 litres a day.

I mainly drink that much because apparently its good for your skin, wouldnt bother drinking that much if my skin wasnt a mess though.
