| How much water do YOU drink? I don't think I drink enough water... it is REALLY hard for me to make myself drink water. I get a cup of coffee (or two) in the morning. A soda or tea with my lunch and then a beer or two when I get home. If my boyfriend makes me some ice water I drink that with dinner (usually 1 or 2 glasses). How do you make yourself drink as much water as you should? I'm probably causing gosh knows what to my body... oh boy! haha

| When I was working I drank water all the time. Now, I drink coffee for breakfast and the rest of the day is diet coke. When we go out for dinner I drink tea but I don't like water and I know I drink way too many cokes. |

| I only drink water and rum. Not kidding. A bit of juice to mix in with the rum. I still don't think I drink enough water, esp when it's cold. I don't measure, but I will guess I drink about 4 or 5 regular size water bottles a day. If I do drink tea, it's bc bf ordered it for me at Chik-Fil-A and it's unsweetened.

| Several years ago when I was going thru Chemo I was forced to drink water to help flush it out of my system and to this day I still drink 2 liters a day.

| Hehe... not enough and I usually run it thru my coffee maker first! Here are some tips: Use a favorite, special glass. (makes it more fun) or a straw or both. A Fresh lemon wedge squeezed into the water for flavor and Vitamin C... might take a little getting used to but yummy if plain water is boring to you. I always have a glass of water next to my coffe, tea or soda. The rule is I have to take a drink of water before each drink of a beverage. Water is really good for the body. It's the only thing your body doesn't have to overly process to get it to a point where it can use it. When I am not feeling 100%, I tend to drink more water.... it makes me feel better. Plus, fix a glass for your pup and drink together!

| I drink zero water I honestly cant stand the taste. I don't mind flavored water, but still never drink it. lol. I have heard that drinking through a straw is easier because you can drink more at one time.

| Probably not enough. Usually 3 or 4 bottles a day, along with my 2 cups of joe in the morning, a diet coke with lunch, and maybe iced tea if we go out. Of course all of those CONTAIN water, right LOL It's going to be one of my New Year's Resolutions this year.

| more water. I have found my self in the same boat exp. I don't drink coffee... When I was 23 I found out I was becoming hypertensive and the doctor told me cut out sodas, salty food and drink plenty of water I tried it for a while stuck with it for a year lost about 15 lbs along the way... I found drinking water hard because you want to drink the bad stuff. My doctor recommend crystal light less sugar more water.. it helps big time I drink two reg. size water bottle and two 16oz crystal lights dring the day... I also make flavored green tea... I boil it and set it in the frig... I love it cold. it gets water into the system and is healthy... the key is to lower your sugar in take which is hard and takes about four weeks... but ask your doctor about it...

| I grew up not drinking soda so I rarely drink the stuff. If I drink soda it has rum or vodka in it! haha I go through spurts where I drink a ton of water a day (a gallon at least) and then spurts where I don't drink enough water. I have a 32 ounce water bottle that I try to drink at least 2 of them a day. I drink too much coffee though. I drink 3-4 cups in the morning and then most (not all) afternoons I get a large Dunkins ice coffee. I drink a ton of fluids and always have water with me in a bottle wherever I go. Juice gives me heartburn now, esp cranberry so if I have some i have to water it down, plus juice has so much sugar I always water it down anyways.

| I drink about 2-3 liters of water per day. I re-fill a Camelbak or Nalgene bottle that I take everywhere with me. Started doing that in undergrad and it works perfectly for me. No excuse not to drink it, and I love that the bottles are lined and tell you how much water you have consumed. I really only drink water. I love coffee and have a few cups most mornings. Never drink soda because I can't stand the taste. I like some juices, and I'll occasionally have sweet tea (this is the South, after all), but I prefer water over anything else.

| I very rarely drink just plain water. It's either tea, for my hot drink, or diet coke for my cold drink....all day long. I moved to a house the other year that has horrible well water. I have a filter on the kitchen sink and my kids got me one of those brita filtering pitchers for Christmas last year....but I still can't stand the taste of it.

| I found that I drink more water if I put crushed ice in it.
