Just curious do you guys drink water because you like it, you are thirsty or just because you need those 8 glasses per day?

I was just wondering since it's now 4pm and I haven't had any water today so now I am forcing myself to, I haven't felt thirsty and I know that you can mistake hunger when it is actually thirst but I haven't been any more hungry today

All of the above! I get into ruts where I drink like nothing but diet coke... but when I get back into the swing of drinking water, I am so much happier and really do just FEEL better. I CRAVE water and my natural thirst returns and I do find myself eating less. Here is a link to my favorite 'why you should drink water' site.

that's an awesome site and I love the suggestion to not allow diet soda until 4 glasses have been consumed. thanks

i prefer water to pop.
i usually dont drink much water during the day (1-2 glasses) but when i get home after work i will drink 3-5 huge glasses of water in a row. i stop drinking water about an hour before i plan to hit the hay cause otherwise i'm up all night peeing! I guess i sort of make it a game to see how much i can get in before bed, but i really do like water, its super refreshing! i love chugging it.

Yeah, I'm definitely a chugger. I will drink like a 17 ounce bottle all in one "tip of the head back" or whatever. haha. I prefer it room temperature (or not like ice cold) also because my teeth are sensitive and it's easier to down that way.

holy hannah i guess that makes me a sipper. I did much better on fluid intake today though and I feel better as well I felt kind of sluggish yesterday but lots more pep in my step today

I feel much better since i switched from diet pepsi to water...i drink more fluids, and i never seem to be feeling thirsty. i give my body liquid before i get too dry...at first i drank it cause i was "supposed" to. now i drink nothing but, i drink on averag 6-7 glasses a day...

I normally drink water ALL DAY while I'm at work because I'm not much of a soda drinker unless its ginger ale and because the water is free

I drink it sometimes when I'm at home and I'm ravenously thirsty and I definitely keep a bottle of water in the car.

I don't actually like to drink water, which is horrible and I wish I liked it. But I have been forcing myself lately, and mostly for weight loss and to be healthier. I mostly drink coffee, tea and juice.

I love water. It makes my skin look great! =)
