The normality of water-drinking?

77% Normal
11 Comments

I've noticed people are more conscientious about drinking water than they used to be. Every second person you pass is carrying a water bottle these days. Up until only very recently I figured I was absorbing all of the water I need when I showered in the morning. But then I decided it is high time for me to get aboard the water-wagon.

Have you ever tried to drink eight cups of water in a day? I tried for two weeks and found out that it was just another righteous ambition destined to humiliate me and send me to swim in the sorry pool of self-loathing. It's a failure of a whole other magnitude to find out you can't drink eight glasses of water in a day, even when you set your mind to it.

    I drink 16 ounces of water with all four of my meals and anywhere from 16-32 ounces more after exercise, so it IS possible to drink at least 64 ounces of water a day.
    If you want to do it, don't start with drinking all the cups in one day. Just start with two cups and gradually work your way up to eight over the course of a few weeks.

    What the fuck is your question? You're confusing me.

    You shouldn't drink 8 glasses of water a day.

    Eight glasses!!! Lol, I've tried. There's a brand of water I drink, that I love to bits, but even with it, I don't normally finish a bottle in one day. Usually, only half. If I tried drinking that much water, I'd feel sick and full. I do drink coconut water mixed with coffee (it's so good!!!). Coconut water is extremely hydrating. I drink other things, some more dehydrating than others... I just hope I'm drinking enough.

    I fear I look like a hamster when drinking from a fancy water bottle.

    It's not easy, but I usually get down at least 8 cups (64 oz) each day. I have a 32oz water bottle and fill it in the morning and keep it on my desk. I make a point to drink it by lunch. Then I refill it and drink it by the end of the work day. Some days if I drink alot when working out, I might get down three bottles (12 cups).

    It isn't really that hard. Also keep in mind that some food contains water and your activity level will determine how much you need.
