Water
I agree with natures aspect of drinking. If you get thirsty, drink. As far as the obsession with all this drinking of water I think it's called the 'monkey hear, monkey say' mentality. Sort of like years ago people believed the world was flat. Some guy with a bunch of letters like PH.D. or MS or whatever on the back of his name said it was the 'gospel truth' and people have been aping it ever since.
But in another sense I'm all for it. There is enough chlorine and other junk, especially tap water, to have some kind of detrimental effect on people in the long run. We wouldn't want people to live forever would we. If I were in the business of marketing bottled water I would be pushing the idea of at least 2 gallons a day. More money for me. Maybe they ought to start lacing the water with some kind of addictive substance to make it more appealing. Some substance that wouldn't burn out the receptors though. Maybe cocaine.

I personally look to drink about 2 gallons a day, I find that although I am constantly going to the toilet, I feel fuller & also so many supplements like Creatine work a lot better with high amounts of water intake. Also when you are on a high protien diet I believe that it also helps to keep the liver healthier by helping flush out the toxins & any other waste products. I mix my water with Crystal light as it makes it so much easier to drink.
Nobody has controlled my mind to the point where I feel that I must drink 2 gallons of water a day( the Water Conspiracy), but since I drink nothing but water, I probably get that much a day.And though nothing tastes better than cold Evian after a rough workout, I suppose I wouldn't overly object to a specialized line of bottled waters laced with cocaine,as well, as was suggested earlier. LOL
After you up, your water intake for a while, its almost immpossible to lower it again. I get thirsty so fast and its strong thirst urges.
Before thirst/food urges seemed the same. Now they feel completely different. I get a dry throat real fast if I'm not drinking tons of water.

Mr
This is interesting. Pretty much the only thing I drink is Dasani water (about 3/4 of a gallon per day) and a fairly small amount of beer (about 24 oz. per day). That means no milk at all (Arnold said "milk is for babies, lol) no soda, no juice and no coffee. It works for me, that's all I can say.

Crystal Light is amazing, I dont use the whole packet, just 1/2 to give it some flavour.
I even mix it with vodka on my cheat days

i have noticed that more fat people drink water than fit people....every you go you see obese people sucking down water, so I figure water must make you fat? I think I will stick with coffee
my mouth does get dry when i'm on ECA...water helps. i try to drink at least a gallon a day but to tell you the truth i don't feel any different than when i was drinking less. only difference is i have to piss a helluva lot more. plus if i drink too much water my stomach sticks out and makes my pants tight. it's got to go somewhere.
EXACTLY! You got it mate!
Your belly sticks out. That's what I find against going overboard with water. We mestn't confuse keeping hydrated with bloating your stomach and yourself with quantities the body doesn't probably need.
I try to drink a lot, but I don't drink while I'm eating and don't drink when I already feel full and hydrated. I tend to drink a lot in the gap between 2h after last meal and 1h before the next, when I feel my stomach very empty and I'm probably starting to feel hungry. That way the water goes down without forcing yourself and keep you also from having your stomach sticking out (and I prefer to be dehydrated than to look pregnant!!).
I also try to drink a lot at workout or in hot weather.
But I'll never drink ridiculous quantities like 4 gallons.
Come on guys, nobody ever truly said you HAVE to drink 8 glasses, or 2 litres, or 2 gallons a day. Hydration conditions CHANGE according to weather, sweating, metabolism, food, etc. And smaller frames people by nature hold less water than big frames one.
1 day you might be perfectly idrated with 1 litre, another you might drink 3 and still be hydrated.
I drink about 1.5 litres a day, but I've a small frame.

i figure it's the same deal as protein, carbs, fat or anything else you put in your mouth. your body can only use so much at a time. the rest it stores or gets rid of. small meals work better, so why not small drinks of water. i try to drink a glass of water with each meal, in between meals, but never a ton at a time unless i'm working out hard or in the sun or otherwise getting dehydrated fast.

I had first found out about drinking very large amounts of CLEAN water (filtered or purified) in a really old issue of MM2K. Anyway, since then, i have adapted to drinking never under a gallon a day. You know what, I use the bathroom a lot more but my skin always looks clear, my food digests better, i dont retain water like i used to after a high sodium meal, no dark circles under my eyes, i could go on and on. Don't be afraid to drink lots of water, the excess will only be excreted, you wont gain nothing more than a few minutes worth of water weight. And, when i say i drink water, i mean water, not mixed in with any kind of flavoring or drink. Think about the kind of favor you're doing your kidneys. My urine is never yellow, always clear or almost clear. Water is the forgotten nutrient.

Lots of h20 for me as much as I can doing the day !
I agree with not drinking to much at one time. streching the stomach walls with water doesn't sound good. I drink alot but its spread out and when my stomach is filled with food I drink less, since its a spatial issue. I still definitly get over a gallon a day. I get thirsty if I don't and It definitly has helped my skin.
I wake up drink 2 cups of water hit the gym,
Drink alot while at the gym but I lose it extremely fast, stomach is never filled with water.
Then for the rest of the day most I ever drink at one time is a cup.
I used to drink 2 cups before supper, trying to curb appetite by giving a feeling of fullness. I realized it never help control my appetite. It just made me feel sickly bloated after dinner. (I also drink about 12oz of milk at dinner).
Now I don't do that anymore, feel much better never eat to a point where I feel bloated regardless of how calorie light the intake is.

It also depends by what diet you're on.
On a keto diet you lose water and don't retain it. when I'm on a keto I can drink a gallon without not too many problems.
On a high carb diet instead you retain water and keep idrated with less. when on a high carb I find hard to drink over 1,5 l.
