How much water do you drink on a daily basis?

Question

It's important to stay hydrated! I'm trying to drink at least 3 liters a day! "The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine determined that an adequate daily fluid intake is: About 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids for men. About 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids a day for women." -

Well, that info may not take into account the liquid already in the food you're already eating.As recommended in this chart by the U. S. Army Public Health Command, just make sure your urine becomes clear (or reaches the 'well hydrated' or 'optimal' range, as labeled).

I don’t know it varies. 1 cup being 8 fl oz... If I don’t do any physical activity then probably 4 cups in the form of black coffee and then maybe 8-12 cups of regular water. If I go for a run add 4-6 more cups. If I do hours of strenuous work out in the sun, add 10-16 cups...

About 2 liters. You don't need to drink 3 liters, if you're generally healthy and eat a balanced diet, 1.5 to 2 liters are also enough.

I drink about 2-4 litres a day - I over drink before my shift cause I've gone over 5 hours without water before at my job.

I drink about 1 litre...Sometimes 1.5 litres...I don't think I could drink over 3 litres that easily -_-In the summer though I can drink up to 4.5 litres or 6 litres, depending on how hot I am.

You don't need to drink that much water unless your food is dehydrated like pemmican, or beef jerky and cereals. Your food contains water too. I just drink when I'm thirsty.

Depends about a half gallon to 3/4 of a gallon in the summer when it's hot. 1/2 gallon in the winter.

That 15.5 cups includes liquids in your food. Drinking that much water on top of your normal diet is dangerous.
