IK, 2-3 litres for normal people sounds cool. but, 4-5 litres is a LOT of water. instead of having a number to indicate how muc water to have, i prefer having a general guideline of: drink plenty of water and if at night before you sleep you are feeling thirsty: have some more water!

i kinda disagree with this.

soft drinks: most americans mix their soft drinks with PLENTY of ice. this ice melts into the drink and counters the dehydration potential.

coffee: most people always have cofee with some water on the side. even if they dont: coffee does have water content in it.

energy drinks: i hate them so i have nothing substantial to add here.

4-5L isn't all that much IMO. I have at least 4L a day and that's not hard at all. Especially when I go through at least a L during my workout alone.



Every time I've been in Texas, no one was drinking water with anything. Maybe you're just in the water drinking mecca of the state or something.

As far as Americans go, I never see people drinking water with their coffee or sodas. And yes, coffee has water in it, but again, the caffeine in it can cause dehydration through diuretic properties.




Fuck, I don't even see the point in arguing this. It's water for fuck's sake. Drink it or don't. I don't care. I keep tabs on mine, as I think eveyone should. But apparently I'm the only one around here that does.

i didn't say that it's hard. i probably have 4-5 liters myself. i however don't measure it. i go by the color of my pee. if its yellow: it means i need more water. if its transparent: it means im good


I did not say that everyone has water with coffee. I said some people do. and of those who don't, a lot of people drink water before/after the coffee. this is just my observation.
