I was just having a conversation with a colleague about this because he just got back from Mexico & was telling me about how he was only drinking water out of bottles & didn't go anywhere near tap water. When at work, he must drink about 1.5 gallons a day, which I find to be way above the necessary what your body needs. On a normal day, I consume about 2 liters of water. I'll have 2 16.9 bottles of Poland Springs & 1 33.8 bottle of it as well.
Just curious if I'm in the normal range of what most of you guys have in a given day.
(It's the offseason anyways. Only so many mocks we can discuss.)
I probably have anywhere from 64-100oz in a given day.
Too much water dilutes electrolytes, overworks kidneys and can actually increase risk of stroke.
I drink water when I'm thirsty. Probably ends up being roughly 48 oz. per day (not including what I mix with an alcoholic bev. in the evening).
I can't remember the last time I drank soda, btw.
You really don't need to drink eight glasses of water each day - ( New Window )
for every 2 lbs of weight. A 200 lb person requires 100 oz
of water a day. Drink your water filtered.
Beer like all alcoholic drinks is a diuretic, the pissing
you do when you drink starts with the diuretic effect.
Water is necessary to detox your body. If you want to feel
good and more importantly look good, drink water.
A person drinking 192 oz during work hours is drinking too
much unless they weigh close to 400 lbs. Drinking too
much water, can cause long term problems.
When thirsty, drink water. Coffee is also a diuretic and
will cause you to pee more oz than the coffee you drank.

Had a nasty bout with kidney stones in my early 20s. No thanks. Also, water really helps my anxiety.
your body. But for most people, they must drink the water before they are thirsty (I understand for most, this
might not be appealing), by the time your thirst kicks
in and you haven't already drank water, you'll start to
consume too much water, more than your body can handle
over a short period of time and then you piss.
This thread is co-incidental. My water filter went out
Sunday and I've been drinking bottled water. It doesn't
taste too good. So I've actually drank less water, not intentionally and I can feel the difference.

So much of your post is just plain myth. But I’ll focus on the statement above. Coffee IS a diuretic (caffeine actually), but you do not pee more than you consume. Caffeinated drinks can safely be part of you daily liquid intake need.

Oh, I forgot, there is decaf...for me, I say 'coffee'
because much of decaf has chemicals from the process
of decaf.
If my post is 'plain myth' I'd appreciate you showing
me what I've said that is wrong. And also it might allow
people to make up their own opinion.
Hey, Mayo Clinic...are you claiming that they are an
authority on nutrition and longevity business.
Twenty years ago, cholestrol is the cause of heart
disease. Stomach ulcers are the direct result of stress.
Healthy diets require more carbohydrates, vegetable
oil is safer than all other fats.
If you want kidney stones, sure.

How many accounts is this clown allowed to have? Hey Bockman, your writing “style” is a dead giveaway.
Coffee is not a diuretic. The myth that it is was started by a 1928 study that included a whopping 3 participants. Now coffee isn’t a great way to hydrate yourself, as the caffeine does cause urination (and before you start Bockman, technically, a diuretic causes you to discharge more than the liquid included in the diuretic), but you can other wise hydrate properly even if you drink a lot of coffee.
I drink at least 100 oz of water a day, and that does not include other beverages. I also drink about 40 Oz of coffee a day. And other than an occasional glass of red wine, that is about all of my liquid intake.
If you eat fruit and vegetables, drink coffee or tea or beer or soda, milk on cereal, etc., those all count toward total water intake.

Myth or not, I've had multiple friends who had kidney stones that their doctor told them to cut out the iced tea from their diet if they wanted to help avoid them in the future.

What an absolute load of crappola. Advertisers see this guy and think, "Sucker!"
On my best day without any embellishment, probably about 50-65 oz's per day. Otherwise I pee constantly. I hardly sweat, so maybe that's why it just goes right through me.
I got it!
Great movie

Jim, you certainly have my permission to follow the Mayo Clinic diet, lifestyle and nutrition program. It doesn't work, but at least you then get first dibbs on a hospital bed at the Mayo Clinic.

Yes, but the alcohol makes you pee out more water than
you took in with the beer.
By the way, you do know I presume that beer today,
is not just a breakfast drink~

That is what my MD told me 1/2 oz per pound of body weight. Also helps lose weight as hunger sensation can be reduced by drinking water.
Too bad I don't follow the advice...

Clams, I run everyday so I sweat it out pretty easily.
For a time a couple years ago, I was making it a point to drink at LEAST 64 ounces. By the time I got to around 40, I'd have to piss. lol And it was like drinking beer. Fine for a while, but then once you go once ...
Kinda got sick of 3-4 trips to the bathroom in the afternoon.
