Question

Do you have a tracker or is it normal to you?

I have a system. For one half of the day, I'll drink 60 ounces of water & for the other half, I'll drink around 60 or a bit more in the form of 16-24oz at a time until I've reached 60 ounces for the first half of the day. I also take into account the water I'm consuming via the food I eat.

I log the specific amount of water I drink on the app "cronometer" with a time stamp attached to it. When I want to check how much water I'm consuming, I just go to the daily report & convert the logged amount by dividing it by 28.35. I try to have at least 88 ounces per day.

Some days where I'm not sweating a lot or if I've eaten higher sodium meals earlier in the day & don't want to hold on to as much water, I'll only drink the 88 that day. But if I have structured my eating to where I know I'm having a good balance of electrolytes (especially sodium and potassium) throughout the day, I'll go ahead and drink a gallon of water or more.

I never drink more than my bodyweight in water & I never exceed more than 24-33oz of water per hour as to avoid possible water intoxication.

I fill a liter bottle with well water from my tap and keep it next to me. I usually drink two of those a day, along with 48 oz of coffee that I make myself.

When I first get up, I put a scoop of health powder in a liter bottle, will it 3/4 full of water and shake it up. That's the first thing I drink in the morning. I use it to wash down a whole bunch of vitamins and supplements.

I fill up a cup of water and put it on my nightstand. When I wake up in the morning, I'm reminded when I see it there, and usually drink the whole thing. If I have a full bottle with me throughout the day, I'll remember to drink it. I like to add a little lemon juice to regular water, too. I keep chilled carbonated water flavored with real juices in the fridge, along with kombucha. I was 16 when I quit drinking soda. I read about the havoc it wreaks on teeth and it effectively made me completely uninterested in drinking it ever again, ha.

I don't drink water... I wouldn't drink at all if it was just water... so I drink 0 kcal drinks with stevia for some taste and I don't need to remind myself anything, I like them so it's natural

sage2021 · Answer

I hate water and I am not the only one. Lot's of people hate it. So, I have to force myself to drink at least one bottle a day.

I am not able to drink just anything most people drink.

So, all I can drink is Hawaiian Punch everyday.

- I have clean glass jars/carafes all over the house that are 32 oz or more. They are room temperature and ready for water consumption.

- If I'm out of the home for the day - I make sure I have only glass or wood containers to drink from. No plastic or steel.

- I don't do COLD water. It's easier for me to consume hot/warm water all day with no issues so I always make sure I have an electric kettle in my car/lunchbag.

Once I was a bad drinker and drank too little water so I had always dry skin, especially on my hands.
Actually I changed my way by putting a bottle of water on my desk and it should be finished by the end of the day (2 liters), so when I’m working I see it and I drink from it regularly.

AviatorTom · Answer

I keep a tall glass nearby. When it goes empty, it's a simple reminder to fill it up and drink more.

I don’t have to. Water is what I mostly drink. I eliminated soda  years ago.  Therefore, it isn’t hard for me. 😊

purplepoppy · Answer

No animal has ever died of dehydration next to water. None of our ancestors from dry arid lands had water drinking reminders. No one worried about water targets until bottled water became a thing.

Abbycado · Answer

I drink it when I am thirsty. Kind of a body letting you know type of thing.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

If you’ve ever been healthily hydrated, your body reminds you. That’s what thirst is. It’s your body’s first warning that you’re not consuming enough clean water.

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

I just make sure I drink it. I know I'll feel pretty thirsty if I don't and I know most other drinks won't satisfy the need for hydration.

I hate alcohols (all of them, except beer) so it's easy for me to drink water, especially when it's hot outside

I use drinking water as a coping mechanism for my anxiety as suggested by my psychiatrist so it’s pretty normal for me.

avery58 · Answer

I don't. It's just my first choice most of the time when I get thirsty. So I guess yeah, making it your first choice.
