No Tara,
BG is saying that you should have 8 glasses of water per day equaling 12 to 16 oz/glass.
8 x 16oz. = 128oz.
So that 33.8 liter doesn't come close.

That's the song they sing...
but frankly, I believe that like anything else, it varies from person-to-person. You have to kinda watch what you expel (be it perspiration or da whizz). You definitely can't go on thirst. 9 out of 10 times, you are reacting a little late. I can drink about 8 oz. in the a.m., run a 10K in moderate-to-cool weather and drink another 16-20 oz. and be good to go! You just have to pay close attention to your activities...watch out for da alcohol...you'll be de-hydrated quickly!
NUFF!

to be on point.... Yes it's 8 8 oz glasses equaling 64 oz (1/2 gallon) per day. Tara I haven't seen you, well only in my dreams
so I don't know your exact size. This is just for an average height and weight person. So if you are within your average height and weight you should be okay. Just drink 2 of those liters per day and you'll be just fine. Ahh excuse me just finer......

I went to http://www.water.com and calculated how much water I should be drinking. According to my weight and how much exercise I do, I should be drinking 55oz./day.
21.2 more oz. to go!

Re: Tata
That's the only way for me too. Try lime slices too. YUMMY! And try this, freeze the lemon, lime and/or orange slices and then drop them in the water, it makes a nice cool treat.
Remember lemons act as a natural diurectic so you have to be careful about TOO MUCH juice. Your electrolytes will get messed up, potassium will be depleted. Counter this will eating a banana, which is rich in potassium, every other day or so, if you are drinking LOTS of water with LOTS of lemon juice and SWEATIN' a LOT.

Also try adding a cup of sugar and stir well. It goes down so smooth.

I may hold off before I try them though. The water by itself is enough of a diurectic. I feel like someone is sitting on my bladder.

Now that's high quality H2O
*throwing some virtual dap to Fiyah*
You can say that again.
When I started trying to get my two quarts a day on, I wish I had a urinal next to my cube to make it easier with all of the trips I had to make.
After a while, when the body adjusts it gets easier.
That reminds me, I need to get my drink on.

Yeah it will, it just takes a couple of days. Your body has to reach what's called a breakthrough (or at least that's what they called it in the article I read) to get your system used to the water. You may even retain some at first,
if you haven't been drinking for a while. But your trips to the powder room will go down afterwhile.Fiyah,
Thanks bruh, I can sleep easy again tonite!!
