I suspect I'm a bit dehydrated as I don't drink much more than 3 mugs of water per day. Downloaded an app to track my water intake and it recommends 2.25 litres per day. I struggle to drink 1 litre. I tried yesterday and had to stop 5 times whilst out and about to use the loo. So how does anyone drink 2.25 litres?! I'm sure I get a lot of liquid from fruit and veg, so maybe I don't think I need to drink anywhere near 2.25 litres. I'd be permanently on the loo!

My oh doesn't drink much. Maybe what you have in water but he dies have several cups of tea. I drink loads. Can't get enough.

Today I logged 1 litre of actual water, plus I had 1 cup of coffee and 1 bowl of soup. That was my limit. I felt waterlogged and uncomfortable all day!

Barely none 'straight' water. Sometimes none. But I do have a ridiculous amount of coffee each day (6+ mugs)

I drink probably 6/8 pints of water plus 4 mugs of coffee in a day. I am constantly weeing.
If I’m out of the house I don’t drink nearly as much, i do it out of habit (boredom?) .

I very rarely drink just water. Can't stand it. I drink quite a bit of juice, tea, lemonade. Fit and healthy, good skin and waterworks.

I drink 2-3 cups of coffee a day and some days a glass or three of wine. Nothing else. Very rarely if ever, drink water alone. Probably not healthy but I just don't feel thirsty.
