Most of you might know that most books on health recommends that you drink at least 8 glasses of water per day.But I think many people only drink less than 2 or 3 glasses if that much per day.How much do you drink?Me I try at least to drink 3 or 4 glasses.    | ||

SCREW IT. I GO FOR 200 + OZ a day! Yep I'm a pee factory! I say it that way because I've got to 1.5 litre bottles / 50.7 oz bottles that I use and I feel them up twice a day and empty them twice a day! ------------------  | ||

A minimum of 1 quart (.9 L) per 50 lbs. (22.7 kg) of body weight per day is a good guideline to go by. Even slight dehydration can cause significant performance losses. | ||

protein=repair water=everything..your muscles are something like 75% water..if u are dehydrated you will lack performance. if u take creatine (ehich u should be) then you need to drink at least a gallon a day.. peace ------------------ | ||

Do most of you buy water from the market or do you get it from the facet? | ||

depends on whether or not your environment provides you with free drinking water. my last job had 4 people in the office but we still had water brought in every month. this job i work for a humongous company but no f'ing water. so i'm forced to buy it at the grocery store and bring it to work or be forced to drink it out of the water fountain which is pretty gross. i'll drink out of the fountain when i'm at the gym because it's tolerable then but not when i'm drinking just for the sake of running as much water through my system as possible. bleh. ------------------ | ||

One gallon per day, at least. All the trips to the bathroom break up the workday nicely, too! | ||

I don't think water really has a taste. Unless you are drinking out of the tap. UGHhhhhhhhhhh Now that taste bad!!! The longer you drink it, you will get use to it!! [This message has been edited by Pamela (edited October 11, 2000).] |
