What is the normal daily water intake? I drink a lot!

[TexasBalla]

I drink around 125 to 150 ounces of water a day. That is just straight water, not including soft drinks, etc.....

We have all heard the 8 glasses (8 ounces a glass) of water a day. So that's a recommended amount of 64 ounces of water a day for the average person.

Now, most people on this board are not "Average" so we can throw that out the window.

The thing that I find weird is, even when I take a week off from work outs, I still get thirsty as hell and consume the usual amount of water.

I'm not on any ephedra products, drink around 1 coke a day and only really drink protein shakes. I'm 6 foot and 190 pounds, so it's not like I'm a giant or anything......

So I guess my question is this: How much water does everyone take in on a usual day or even a sedentary day?

I try to get at least 1 gallon a day, whether it's a workout day or not. If I don't drink enough water I feel very thirsty and dehydrated.

Anywhere from 2-3 gallons a day...6' 185

I think any one around here drinks in excess of 1 gallon per day (1 gallon minimum).

I myself drink 1 - 1 1/2 gallons a day.

1 gallon equals about 127.98 ounces or 128 (rounded up), you seem to be in the ballpark.

Ok thanks!

I've just gotten a lot of flak from the GF and family recently about how much water I drink.

 

[Griz1]

1.5 gal/day

I used to do two but I think my employer was basically paying me to urinate so I dropped it by 1/2 gal and now it seems to be a bit more..."normal".

I drink a galon and a half , and urinate about 5 . 5'10 188lbs

Burning fat will release stored THC, do you feel high when you are doing your cardio?

Don't do cardio prior to your test and if you're that worried buy a product called vale's, you can take it up to 2 hours before (I've passed two drug tests with this), $40. There is another product you can buy at any super market for around $5, it is used to make jellies and preserves, but i cannot remember it's name right now. It is effective (I passed a drug test with this one too), but it tastes like shit and requires more preparation. And if you don't smoke that often, meaning you only smoke once every couple of weeks at the most (which sounds like you do 'cause you remember the date of your last smoke) then don't worry at all. THC is out quick with causal smokers.

how many litres in a gallon?????

1 gallon = 3.7854 liters

Edit:
Just rememebr the name of that other product, it is called Certo.
