On average, how much water are you all drinking per day?

at work, I have about 70 ounces of water, sometimes a little less, or more...

at home, I think I drink about 10-20 ounces of water...

I just want to know the average..

BTW - i'm losing not maintaining..

sheesh Nomo... arent you floating by now?

Right now I'm averaging 40-50 oz, plus about 8-16 oz of herbal tea, and around 20oz of skim milk each day.  But I'm working on increasing the water portion of that, I used to be lucky if I drank even 8oz of water a day so I'm trying to increase by an additional 8oz a day every week or two. So far, so good. Smile

good for you aya!! :)
wow....you guys are amazing!  I struggle with 20oz.  I wish I could drink more...
Your welcome Jac :)

Aya, I was the same way, I never drank water at all. I never realized how important it was
It depends for me.  If I know I'm going to do something where I'm going to lose a lot of water (Spinning, road biking on a hot day, etc), I load up on the water before I go, then keep drinking through the activity.  I rode Tuesday night when it was 97 degrees, and I probably drank 3 liters of water before, a good liter out there, and some more when I got back.  And this was definitely not excessive because I didn't have to pee at all during the ride or for at least an hour after.  Otherwise, I probably drink at least 2 liters a day.

Tat - what else do you drink?

I drink the 23 oz bottle of water (with crystal light on the go) and a cup of coffee every day.  That's it.  I'm never thirsty...water makes me gag.

In the winter I'll be drinking lots of red tea, but the summers, I'm usually fairly dehydrated. 

I refill a 20 oz bottle about 4 times a day.
I've always been a water drinker, so that's never been a problem for me.  Since starting on this new adventure, I've tried to add more to my day.  Now, I drink 3 liters of water, 1 liter of decaf green tea, and about 2 cups of coffee... yes, I pee all the time. ;p

I stop drinking alot when I get home because I dont want to pee all night long....  I pee about every 30-45 minutes during the day...
I drink between 40 and 60 oz every day. Not much, but it's something, plus I'm a receptionist so they don't like when I keep getting up to go to the bathroom! Yell

I bet they wouldnt like you having to leave early because you peed in your pants...
a gallon per day, so 128 ounces!! i live in central texas right now, though... it's hot!
I'm a receptionist too but sometimes, that's the only time I get to peel my big butt off my chair... incentive *hehe*
I keep a 20oz cup on my desk that i try to refill as much as possible. i usually fill it about 5 times a day. i have a harder time at home though!
I've been trying that "always have a cup full on your desk" trick while at work, and it really seems to help.  I have more trouble just drinking water at home because I'm indifferent to it, and my tap water is rather lousy tasting, especially in summer.  When I get home I'm all "Oooo, Milk!" lol, I love my dairy. But I figure at least skim milk and herbal tea is way better then sodas and the like.
