I drink (6) 500ml bottles of water a day.
Is this to much ?
I feel a lot better for it ?
But ..... it does make me urinate a lot !! Up to 8, 9 times a day ?

I think it varies from person to person. I go on wee colour and how I'm feeling. If I'm sluggish or headachy its usually dehydration.

I drink around 2-3l a day including tea/coffee but I talk all day so it's mostly sipping it for my throat when I'm not mainlining strepsils

So I drink probably 2 litres if I include the 4 large cups of caffeinated coffee I have. However, doesn't coffee dehydrate you?

I have 3 liters of water plus two cups of green tea. I live in a hot country though. If I get a headache it's usually because I'm dehydrated.

If you need to drink that much to feel hydrated then I would see a GP. It could be nothing serious but it could also be something more sinister like diabetes which you need to get under control.
