How many glasses of water do you have a day?

If a glass is a pint?

I’ve drank almost three pints today and will probably have another three before bed. I don’t have to force myself or anything, I’m thirsty if I drink any less than this a day.

DH thinks it’s excessive and my family are always teasing me about drinking a lot of water. I don’t understand how they’re not more thirsty.

How much do you drink?

I don't remember anyone,, adults or children, drinking water when I was young.

I got fed up trying to teach children who were too busy slurping water or juice out of huge bottles on their desks, to listen to me half the time. Not to mention books ruined when said bottles leaked in their schoolbag.

Goodness knows how we survived with out all this obsessive water drinking.

You don’t remember it because it’s not interesting. I don’t remember anyone ever going to the toilet when I was younger, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

I might drink half or maybe a whole small glass of water with lunch and same with dinner. I don't like drinking water very much. I drink 3 mugs of coffee a day and around 3 or 4 cups of tea. I don't tend to get thirsty either.

That’s because you’re drinking loads of tea and coffee which is hydrating 😂 I personally couldn’t have that much caffeine but each to their own!
