septembern : well, its hard to make a precise estimate but at a rough guess id say roughly...0(*shame*)

I drink about 3 litres per day when am outside. At home it's likely about half a litre.

i typically drink a liter and a half bottle water a day. We use those pitchers that has a carbon water purifier to refill my water bottle. Sometimes, I drink more. I drink pop sparingly. I prefer Juice over pop.

NotJon: It is true that drinking too much water can be harmful, but not by drowning your lungs. Your body simply doesn't work like that. What it can cause are a few other conditions. A common one for extreme water drinkers is water intoxication. Most of the cells in your body are subject to osmosis (where an area of higher energy flows through a membrane to the area of lower energy). In your body's case, electrolytes in your body such as sodium (salts) move from your cells into the water outside of your cells. This is good as it keeps your cells from having too high a salt concentration, leading to dehydration. But if you drink too much water, too much of the electrolytes ended up being removed from your body, putting them below normal functioning levels. This is also not actually from drinking too much water a day, but drinking too much water at once. That is why water intoxication is more common in athletes than anyone else (except maybe babies fed formula that is too diluted). They tend to drink massive amounts of water at once such as a cross country runner after he crosses the finish line. But since your kidneys can filter out 14-16 liters of water a day, this isn't a problem if a lot of water is consumed in safe portions throughout the day.
And using other drinks such as juice, beer, soft drinks, etc. for your water needs is not sufficient compared to water. The amount of electrolytes in a lot of those drinks is hard on your kidneys as they try to filter that out to get the water from what your drink. Soft drinks are particularly bad due to the high amount of carbon dioxide. You are basically drinking what your body produces as waste when you breathe. It isn't a *misconception*. It is just a safe amount of water to drink throughout the day, but more than enough to replace any water loss the average person goes through in their daily routine. Water is also needed to help carry around the nutrients form your food effectively to the designated areas.

I drink probably around three glasses a day. Not enough, apparently. =|

Recently, I have found myself drinking six or seven glasses of water on a daily basis.

I usually drink around 24-60 ounces a day. I just need to drink my water because I have to have some fuel for when I run Cross Country after school every day. I just gotta get that wata!
