How much do you roughly drink per day?

On average:
2 to 3 coffees
1 pint of water
1 cup of herbal tea

Some days, I don't drink water at all. I'm trying to get into the habit of drinking more, but I just forget and rarely feel thirsty really.

3 coffees, a cup a soup, 2 drinks of squash (half litre in total I would say) - half a bottle of win 3 times a week. That’s it.

Ah least 4 litres of water a day then pop and an odd coffee on top of that but I have kidney disease so have had to increase consumption

I don’t think I drink any where near enough either. I have about 4 cups of tea a day, a glass of juice with my dinner and a glass of milk in the evening /bedtime.

I have tried to drink more water before - I have too if I’m giving blood or they can’t find the vein. But I just can’t stop going to the toilet if I drink anymore! If I drink the recommended 2 litres a day i have to wee every half hour…
even though I don’t drink much my wee is always clear or nearly clear so Im not sure if I’m dehydrated or not?! I should be 😂

Definitely nowhere near enough.

I have never drank a lot. I’ll have a cup of tea in the morning, a glass of water with lunch and then a can of Coke Zero or a glass of water with dinner.

Probably 4/6 coffees and 2 x 700mls of weak squash

Yes, this is a self selecting sample. It’s going to make you feel as bad as the “how much alcohol do you drink” and “ how much do you weigh” threads.

Don't worry - I don't know anyone in real life who drinks the amount of water that MN'ers claim to drink

9 mugs of (decaf) tea.

I struggle to drink more than a litre a day of liquids. Then I get cramp. Am gradually persuading myself to drink more.

It totally varies and I live in a tropical climate and exercise a lot so technically I should drink more but I don't.
Yesterday day I had 3 coffees and then a decaf tea

Today so far (it's coming up 5pm) I've had just shy of 3 liters of fluids because I was training hard this morning and lose a lot through sweat.

Im totally lax about drinking on days Im not working out and I don't feel thirsty a lot.

When I visit the Uk I'm always perturbed at my mothers insistence that she can't leave the house without a water bottle in case she dehydrates. It's 10oc in West Sussex and we're going to the high street for an hour woman, you're not running the Badwater ultramarathon!

Thank you but it never used to happen before I upped my fluid intake.

@DoraSpenlow whilst not wanting to panic you and of course could be nothing, it might be worth having a read of early signs of diabetes as one of them is peeing a lot, especially at night. What you say you drink genuinely shouldn't have you peeing 6 times a night or unable to do a food shop without going to the loo

I absolutely need to drink more-and less of the fizzy stuff! 😬

Don't worry. It's the Massive Salad Bunch out in force 😉

2-3 cans of Diet Coke
1-2 cups of tea
2-3 G&Ts

3 teas
1 fresh orange juice / smoothie
Approx 2 litres of water. Usually a bit more.
I pee a lot in the daytime. Never need to get up in the night. Water next to bed for when I wake up. I walk a lot too.
Never get headaches, never had a UTI.

I feel like a wizened, dried up, dehydrated, septic prune after reading what the rest of you are drinking! I need to sort myself out!

2 cans of diet soda, that's it, not a drop more. No tea, coffee, water, juice, nowt. Horrifically bad.

Although I used to have 2 or 3 glasses of wine every night but cut that shit out years ago so at least that's something positive ha ha.

I ONLY DRINK COFFEE

I'm not dehydrated, and my kidney function's tested every year. Caffeine is a diuretic, but comes nowhere near expelling all the water you dissolved it in!

If coffee was 'dehydrating', I'd be gasping for a drink and my heart rate would be astronomical, right? This barmy myth was probably started by a marketing agency for bottled water.

That’s not what the NHS recommends! 6-8 glasses of FLUID a day (about 1.2-1.5l) Water, tea, coffee, milk, squash… it all counts.

You need to drink enough that your urine is pale straw colour. The exact amount will vary depending on what you eat (lots of food with high water content means you don’t have to drink as much), the temperature, how active you are etc.

@DoraSpenlow I think you could probably slow down and only up it if your wee gets darker than pale yellow 😉

A coffee in the morning and a mouthful of pop at tea time most days. Some days I'll have a peppermint tea or a hot chocolate as well.
I don't feel thirst. I suffered terribly with my kidneys many years ago but don't suffer these days. Maybe my body is used to it.
I do eat a lot of fruit and vegetables though so maybe that adds to the overall fluids.

I ALWAYS have a drink with me. I panic if I don't. Unless I'm just nipping to the shop down the road but I will drink before I go and again when i get back home. I probably fill up my 700ml bottle 5 times a day. Then twice at night.

I also have emetophobia so totally get the germ thing. But im also heavily pregnant so I have accepted that sometimes I have to use a public toilet, and my 3yo also needs it sometimes when we're out. There's alot of DONT TOUCH ANYTHING. Anyone that hears me must think I'm a dick for repeatedly saying it 🤣

My issues is I can’t stand the taste of water and I don’t really enjoy cold drinks in general 😬
