^ Don't mention water poisoning!


Oh well. I guess I'll see a doctor.

Sorry!

But I am interested to know!

^It's really hard to say. It depends on your body mass, what your sodium level is (that is why athletes can be more susceptible to water poisoning - their sodium levels can drop very low) Normal healthy kidneys should be able to process a liter of water in an hour or so. It's just a problem when people foolishly chug water down in a very short time span...

I don't drink nearly enough usually....if I could get myself into one new habit it would be drinking more water. OK...starting tomorrow... 1-2L would be ideal, i think..

 

[iluvjeisa]

I have started trying to monitor the amount I drink but haven't found a good way. I would like to make sure I get enough...

^ What about if you drink out of a measured container ? doesn't that help? I know when I'm trying to be aware of how much water i drink i just make sure to use a bottle or container that's labeled.. e.g. just fill up a 500ml water bottle and then know that you need to fill it up x amount of times for the day.. let's say 2, 3, 4 times.. however many litres you want to drink. I find that a pretty easy way to monitor it.

Lately, about 4-5 litres a day. I don't know exactly why and I'm pretty sure it's not healthy but I can't help it - I'm always thirsty. I feel like a jellyfish right now.

I drink 4-5 litres a day, too. Sometimes even 6 litres in the summer. I didn't know this could be unhealthy.

 

[sergeantkero]

i used to drink like only 3-4 glasses/day. very unhealthy. but im starting to drink more than 1 litre per day. haha

mmm depends mostly on how much coffee and/or alcohol i've drunk that day but on school days, usually around 2 L? just for the sake of keeping the skin clear, and the dentist away

 

[parkmin90]

I've gotten into a habit these days of drinking about a liter or more water because I hear it's really good for the skin!

 

[MeInU]

2-3Litres a day. i have this strange habit- everytime i want to eat and go to the kitchen to grab smth i end up drinking water idk, it makes me feel clean.

I drink 2-3 bottles of water a day... 500ml bottles so thats between 1 and 1.5 litres... that's probably not enough, but I do drink lots of juice as well. I'm drinking more at the moment because the central heating has kicked in at home and it really dries out my mouth! I wake up 'spitting feathers' as my aunt would say

Dentist? Does it have something to do with teeth?

 

[papa_levante]

I'm sure coffee stains the teeth and cleaning would be much more vigorous.

I don't drink enough water. I already know. Water just doesn't taste good. I try to add little packets of flavor to them so I will drink more, but I always forget to buy them.

 

[Mignonne]

sometimes i've drunk only one glass of water, but know i drink 1,5-2,5 liters a day

 

[[vogue]]

Easily 5 - 6 litres of water, but that's because I do sport and drink a cup of coffee almost daily as well.

 

[parachute]

i've been known to drink up to 2.5 l a day, though i'm not drinking nearly enough lately.

 

[4Raitha]

Well , it depends .
Somedays i dont drink nothing , other days i drink even 4 l or more ...
So - I can't tell it precisely .

 

[juneping]

i try to drink a lot of water per day...but at the end of the day, i drink a glass or two glasses of wine...i think if i don't drink that often, may be my skin can benefit a lot more.
