water consumption

well than I drink about 2 to 3 gallons a day.

I take 4 litres as a standard. When I workout I always drink 1.5 litres during that workout. When I'm dieting or when it's warm and I sweat a lot (which I do to a great extend) than I can easily go up to 8 or nine litres.

I don't drink much water though. Only during workouts. I hate water. I mainly stick to diet soda's. I know I shouldn't, but what's best... drinking 6 litres of diet Pepsi or drinking 1 litre of water... I'll stick with the Pepsi or I'll be dehydrated in the shortest of times.
 
I also supplement a lot with electrolytes because they will keep you hydrated. If you run low on them than bye bye water and you'll be peeing as hell al day long.
 
Last week in the newspaper (not the greatest source of scientific info) they quoted a medical study that supposedly debuncts the notion that everyone needs so much water per day. I guess their rationale works. Although with your average athelete, you need something to wash out all the crap that builds up in your system.
 
bigdan; how many times a day do you piss, i work in the heat in the summertime, so i hate the feeling when you get dehydrated so i drink alot of water, plus to hydrate my muscles and carry all the bad stuff out my body. i must take a leak about 10-15 times a day.

You might want to watch out a bit when drinking so much water daily,.. since you kidneys can only handle 6 l. /day (or so i read somewhere) without getting stressed!

Could be true. I'll search up on that. Most of the times it's only about 6l a day so I won't be in real probs.
 
I drink two gallons a day. It's a hassle some of the time because I am always in the pisser but that is what it takes I guess.:D
 
i read the other day to drink 20 to 30 oz 30 min before training and you would get a better pump seems to help
 
I think my deep rock man knows whats up.. he delivers to me more than the business's down the street.. I drink between 1.5 and 3 gallons a day, and damn thats good water!!
