Default Bottom's Up!

We need a water drinking thread. We used to have a Gallon a Day thread, but that seems intimidating to many people.

So, I propose this thread, a place each of us can come to challenge ourselves to make sure we drink enough water every day, whatever our goal might be.

My goal is to get in the recommended 8 glasses a day in addition to the coffee and tea I get in every day. How about you?

So far I've had 2 20-oz mugs, plus about half of a 20-oz mug this morning, so I've nearly gotten my 64 oz. Just another glassful and I'll have hit my goal.

Interesting post about the myth of needing 8 glasses of water a day.

Junkfood Science: Wellness water ? the 8x8 myth

I still like water, but don't feel so bad if I don't get in a full 8 glasses, what with all the coffee & tea I drink.

Another water lover here.

I generally have no problem with getting 8 (8 oz) glasses of water every day. But that was true even before LC'ing.

At this time of year, I tend to go through almost the same amount of iced tea. LOL! Just switching from coffee to iced tea earlier in the day. This does not diminish my water intake. When I'm thirsty, there is nothing I want more than water.
