I used to drink practically no water up until earlier this year. Now I drink about 4-6 glasses a day.
What's funny is that my dark circles diminished significantly once I started drinking a normal amount of water. I never would have made the connection between dark circles and dehydration, but it makes sense now.

A liter per meal, then a few drinks here and there.

When I said that I used to never drink water, I meant I almost never drank water by itself. Obviously, I consumed other things that had water in them like soda or I would be dead.
As for why, I really don't know. Lazy, I guess? I guess I've always preferred to drink something that had flavor. It's pretty baffling when I think back on it now, so I'm not really sure.
It's pretty much all I ever drink now, so quite a bit. I remember switching to it about 2 years ago, going from literally never drinking any to dropping all the pop I used to chug down to swap for it. Ended up losing a good 30 pounds just from that.
I used to always want something with flavor and felt water had none, but I now love the taste of water even if I can't really explain it. It's just extremely refreshing.

This is probably a meme started by water bottling companies.
But also grossly inaccurate.
If there is an issue with plastic bottles, it's one that's true for any drinking receptacle - bacterial contamination from backwash and mouth contact.
Solution; either don't make mouth contact, or wash the bottles.
In my experience, eschewing mouth contact (i.e. just pour it from above into your mouth) is the great lazy man solution.

I take a 1.5ltr bottle with me everywhere. Get too dehydrated if I don't. So I'd say 2lts + a day

How much protein do you eat?

I drink plenty of wator everyday, although squash is mixed in with it, like 5 parts wator 1 part squash.
Mmmm artificial sweeteners.

Between 1-5 glasses a day.
Same thing happens to me. Im just starting up my health kick right now and I think this is the time I really stick with it. Although there is such a thing as too much water, if you've had too much it is an AWFUL feeling.

Depends. There's a lot of sugar, but drinking one glass a day is pretty healthy.

I don't drink nearly enough wator but I've been trying recently to increase my wator consumption.
Dude, that's me. I just realized it the other day (but have yet to do anything about it). I don't drink water. I haven't just had a straight up glass of regular ass water in months. I drink mostly Crystal Light iced tea and maybe some diet sodas. I should probably change this.
Three liters a day at minimum.
I had a friend that behaved like an American. Sodas, juices, gatorades, that shit. I busted his balls for ages to get him to start drinking water. Once he started he couldn't thank me enough. He lost weight. His head stopped hurting. His skin cleared up. He started sleeping better. Sodas are fucking shit. You're better off drinking beer.

About 2 Liters a day i suppose, give or take, water is actually the ONLY beverage i drink.

Diabetes.
i actually do have diabetes.
On gym/run days - probably 12 or so glasses of water, probably more.
On non-gym days - probably 6 or so as I live a fairly sedentary existence otherwise. If I drink more than that I'm taking regular visits to the lavatory.
I barely eat any salt, though, which helps. I also don't drink anything else except a decaf coffee in the morning.

I drink 100 fluid ounces a day. It's so much water that I have schedule and checkpoints throughout the day while I work. On the weekends I drink less water because I'm usually out and about doing stuff and I'm not so regimented about my intake.
Shouldn´t people drink just about 2 liters of fluid a day? Because otherwise the kidneys have to work overtime? The amounts of wator some of you guys drink are crazy.
The 2 liter mark is minimal, which should be enough to replace what you lost if you didn't have a busy day. You have to drink more than 2 liters to prevent kidney stones anyway, so the kidneys work better if you take in more.
In the US, the reference daily intake (RDI) for water is 3.7 litres per day (L/day) for human males older than 18, and 2.7 L/day for human females older than 18[8] including water contained in food, beverages, and drinking water. The amount of water varies with the individual, as it depends on the condition of the subject, the amount of physical exercise, and on the environmental temperature and humidity.[

At least 4 liters per day, usually.
Haven't had a headache in ages.

Okay serious question to anyone who doesn't drink wator or doesn't like it's taste:
I mean no offence, but do you people understand how basically fucked up that is? Water is the only thing we are supposed to naturally drink and you don't drink it. The only thing.
Is it that you've drank so much soda and other crap that you can't drink anything natural anymore? Water doesn't even taste like anything. Our bodies are made mostly out of water so it is essential that we drink it to keep things running. Water is essential to life. And then people drink tons of tea, coffee and whatnot but those are diuretics meaning they will make your body dehydrate. And if you don't drink plain water to balance things out it's not a very good thing.
It's just that I'd like to hear some good reasons because I can't understand how anyone doesn't drink water..
