I have no idea. I have coffee twice per day, and drink water when thirsty.

I got a HydroMate, which has time markers, so you know if you’re on track with your water throughout the day. They have different sizes, but my husband and I each have a gallon size.

I’m 123 lbs and am female. I’m supposed to drink 82 oz of water. I’ve been drinking a gallon a day. I also have a venti latte every morning, so in total 102oz/day.

Do gins and tonics count?

Markers for drinking water? What is that? Should we not drink water when we are thirsty? I presume all beverages count as most are actually water with some flavoring? Could you not drink diet soda and have the same result?

Why would anyone know this? If you are counting your ounces other than on doctors' orders, you may have some issues.

Oh wow. Ok.

Diet soda doesn’t hydrate you like water does. Coffee is actually dehydrating.

Trust me — I used to not drink enough water and I was chronically dehydrated.

This is the website for the water bottle I got: https://hydromateusa.com/

To actually hydrate, you need to drink more than just when you’re thirsty.

Or you just want to make sure you hydrate enough. It’s important for your health.

I weigh 150 and probably drink 200oz per day. I don’t have diabetes, I just like water. Also I workout daily and sweat a lot so need to replenish.

Really? I thought coffee is a diuretic but not dehydrating per se. Why doesn't diet soda hydrate like water? It is basically water, no? Wouldn't beer and wine also be hydrating unless alcohol content is super high? Didn't people drink beer for centuries instead of water? If I am not thirsty how would I know I am dehydrated?

My goal is half my body weight in oz every day.

I probably meet or exceed it 75% of the time.

So if you are 120lbs you drink 7 gallons of water per day? Really?

I am a 120 lb female and drink about 100 oz of water plus 16 oz of coffee/oat milk per day. Occasionally I have wine or beer in addition. I don't drink anything else.
