I'm assuming I don't get enough water a day. What do you guys do to make sure consume enough water? What type of bottles are you using as well?

I just carry around a Hyrdo Flask and try to drink as much as possible. They say look at the color of your urine to determine if you are dehydrated.

I don’t think I’m dehydrated, I just don’t feel like I drink as much as I should. I’m usually in the 1-3 range based on your chart.

Then one way or another you're properly hydrated

Are you drinking other fluids that you wish to displace with water?

I have a half gallon steel insulated bottle I got off of Amazon for 20 bucks. I fill it in the morning with ice and water and make sure I finish it before I go to bed. It seems to do the job

I just have a 32 oz Nalgene bottle at my desk. Probably drink about 4-5 a day.

Pre-workout and protein shake. That’s about it. I usually only get about 4 to 6 glasses of water a day.

I just sit here with a glass of water and refill it a few times a day.

Question: do you drink when you're thirsty? If so, you're getting enough.

Same for me. That’s all I drink besides 1 or 2 coffees a day. A few years ago when I was a hefty fella I would drink 8 cokes a day. Cut that out when I got disgusting myself and just went straight water and never looked back.

Make it a habit. Feel hungry or thirsty? Drink water. Want a snack, then munch but drink water. I drink at least a couple of quarts a day without thinking about it. Refill a 25 oz bottle several times daily. Also drink water at night if I wake up and first thing when awake in the morning. Had a Nalgene but using a Corksicle. Glass is better (nonreactive), like Lifefactory. Probably going back to a glass bottle.

I keep an insulated cup in my truck, filled with water and ice, at all times. I bring it into the office during the work day. I keep it filled, and drink off of it throughout the day.

Bought a gallon jug with a handle off Amazon. I drink at minimum that one jug a day. I’ll drink more than that during summer

I have a 40oz stainless bottle. I make sure to drink 3 of them by 7pm (I try not do force it later than that because I hate waking up having to pee overnight). You just have to suck it up and drink whenever you think about it. You won't be thirsty, you just drink

I carry a 32oz or larger bottle and every time I eat something I drink the entire thing, anytime I think about it or look at it I chug about half.
