    Coffee, tea, juice of beer don't count as water......

    I ask this as I can barely get David to drink more than a cupfull. How much water do YOU consume in a day?

    It was once widely believed that we needed to drink 8 glasses of water per day but for a long time now, the experts have said it is 8 glasses of fluid (not only water) that we need. Still, the myth continues. Some fluid even comes from fruit, along with tea, coffee and juice. The downside of the latter three, is the cream and added sugars, not to mention the caffeine. There are many factors involved in estimating how much fluid is needed, including the activity (or lack of) with each individual.

    I know what you mean. I just hate driving with one eye closed...

    I try to drink bout 80 oz of water per day. That's without caffeine or hops

    P.S. I can drink a lot more if it has hops. But I'm getting older and maybe smarter?

    You are getting funnier.

     


    David does need to drink fluids.  Try brightly coloured straws, lemons and Perrier.  It works like crazy for children.   


    I drink water all day long.  It is natural to become thirsty. 

    Yesterday, I drank about 3/4 gallon of water; in general, maybe a quart on a big day.

    Could it be that because he lives on "Austin ISLAND" he's afraid if he drinks too much, all the water might be gone, and he'd no longer live on an island?

    LOL, no...David gives her a bad time when James needs a break.

    That is hilarious.
    I do believe you are coming out of your shell Clonge. The only thing you were lacking is 'material'.

    "Shell" as in mollusk? Funny, coming from a FISH!

    You must know that I am swimming in the same coral reef as you Clonge. Nothing has gone unnoticed.

    I do not drink water very much,,i have 700 ml of water once a day or when i use the excerise bike.it is nowhere near enough,but i simply prefer my coffee..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

    coffee is a diuretic......it takes water out of your system

    I don't measure how much water I drink per day.  I do keep a plastic bottle of water in the fridge that I take a swig from several times a day and night.......or I will fill a small glass straight from the tap when I'm busy in the kitchen.    I love the water here it's so good.

    mycatsmom

    do you have well water ? I like the taste of it.

    ....trying for a quart and a half a day
