How much water do you try and drink each day  -  or don't you?

They are always telling us we should have 'so many'  glasses,  but they never say what size glass they are talking about! 
There would be a lot of difference between  4 little tumblers  to 4 pint size ones, wouldn't there.

So what do you like to aim for?
I have been drinking about 3 and a bit pints during this hot weather,  plus tea and coffee as well.

I normally drink about two litres of water a day - but it has to be really cold - keep refilling bottles and leaving them in the 'fridge.  Have been drinking more because of this heat.  I also drink tea first thing in the mornings to kick start the day.

I used to prefer purified water. Trouble was I put on too much weight and kept dropping off to sleep. That's the problem with gin.

2 litres?   That's about 4 pints in old money isn't it?   
Blimey,  I'd never be out the loo.  

Is that your normal amount,  or just because of this heatwave?

Normal amount, Mups, more in this heat!

I drink a glass of water when I think about it.. I don't have a goal or or measure my water intake..
In this heatwave I fill a jug of cold water add freshly squeezed lemon juice and pop it in the fridge..
I also drink tea and one coffee a day.. I think common sense has a lot to do with it..
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

I start the day off with a pint glass of water and lemon before I go to the pool, sets my digestive system up for the day. Depending on how hot it gets I drink around a litre of water through the day, summer and winter, often more in the summer.

Yes, I like half a lemon squeezed into the water too -  and an ice cube if I've made some.  :smiley:

Couple of pints, I take a water bottle when i go out.  Other soft drinks and the odd coffee during the day. Tea first thing.
