I'm suer this has been discussed before but I've recently upped my water intake to 4 litres a day and it's having some positive effects - greater concentration, more efficient energy use, fuller muscles and clearer skin.

How much water do you guys drink a day? And I'm not talking about water mixed with protein shakes or in tea and coffee, or mixed with fruit squash, just plain, pure water.

0.5-1.5 gallons a day. It varies from day to day & my activity level.

I don't really measure it, but I probably down a good 2-3 liters a day. More on certain days. I drink a ton of water at the gym, I probably fill a 0.5L bottle three to four times while I'm there, especially if I'm doing cardio. I'll do the same thing at work maybe 2-3 times. I tend to drink a lot less at home, I'm usually busy and it slips my mind.

a gallon to a gallon and a half but that's only because it's the ONLY thing i drink even with meals with the exception of some fruit juice or can of root beer post workout with some BCAA's and creatine.

2-3 liters of water.
Another liter counting shakes, I tried the mega loading with water but it never felt productive.

Overload · « **Reply #13 on:** March 06, 2008, 01:03:42 PM »

1.5 Gal. roughly.

Gym dude · « **Reply #14 on:** March 18, 2008, 11:18:25 PM »

I drink five liters when I am not taking creatine but when I am taking creatine I drink six liters of water.

Its all I drink all day long.not sure how much but I'd guess around a gallon a day.with meals I'll have a little of the new Gatorade g2.

...now if I've drank the night before all bets are off

I CRAVE soda,mountain dew or pepsi,and Gatorade.
