I used to have less than 1 pint a day. Now I am having 2 and feeling better already. But want to increase to 4 pints (around 2 litres which is recommended).
What about you?

In summer I do drink a lot of cold bottled water (not fizzy) but not in winter when it's all tea or coffee.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

Hmmm does coffee water count if so then loads

At least a 1000ml as I need to drink this to keep fluid levels due to crohns.
Plus I drink dioralyte that is mixed with water on a average week 3x daily due to Crohns and side affects.Knowing When to walk away is Wisdom, being able is courage, walking away with your head held high is dignity. -
Just plain water then no, i just find it very difficult to swollow, have no idea why. If tea counts then yes, during the morning i do but not so much in the afternoon, unless i'm with my elder daughter.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Around 3-4 pints a day.

I don't drink water as such just in hot drinks I have about 5 hot drinks per day
As a wheelchair bound woman it is an effort to go to toilet if I drink more I wee more . If I'm going out I won't have even a morning drink unless I know they have accessible toilet where I am going -
For those asking, my Urologist says that Tea and Coffee don't REALLY count, as they tend to dehydrate, rather than rehydrate. The only sort of water that counts is, ermmm, water.

I don’t drink any water, but a lot of tea, no ill side effects as far as I know.

I love water, it's honestly my favourite drink!! If I fancy a change I go for room temperature water rather than cold from the fridge
I drink about 2.5 - 3 litres a day most days!! I've seen what happens when someone gets dehydrated and it's not nice at all -
Interesting answers everyone.
I think my problem was I was not drinking much at all, even if we are allowed to count other drinks with water in them. When I have a coffee it's usually a strong small coffee like an espresso.
@janer1967 I am not a wheelchair user but I can empathise as I also share the issue with going to the toilet, I never drink anything more than an espresso if I know I am going out as I can't use public toilets.
@Biblioklept sounds healthy, I wonder if there is a point where you can drink too much water? My brother drinks loads of water, maybe 4-6 litres a day, but he is into fitness and he does a physical job.

but exercising and physical jobs probably requires more tbh but you can drink too much but he would probably not feel well if so and it’s unlikely from what you have said.
I think dehydration is more common tbh but all liquids count tea, coffee, squash, fizzy, soups, veg, fruit anything that contains water hydrates your body so if you are having those you will probably be ok but 1-2 litres of water if you can is a good amount to drink daily i thinkMy Pronouns are (She/Her & They/Them)
