Man I drink like a gallon and a half a day. I do have to piss every 2 hours or so though. I try to drink 1 bottle of water every 2-4 hours. Hydration is the key to success!

You know you can count some of those juices towards your gallon a day. If you drink a gallon of Milk everyday and a couple glasses of water your not going to die.

My tip keep a glass in your bathroom and just drink. Or work landscaping in the sun. I downed 1-2 gallons between 8AM-5PM everyday.

One gallon per day is way too much. I guess it's only recommended if you do a lot of sports and/or live in a very hot area.

I don't agree with that at all, getting thirsty is a way for your body to tell you that you are already dehydrated and need to drink. It's obviously better to prevent it by drinking before getting thirsty.

My suggestion is to drink a ton of liquor and get super wasted every night, then the next morning you'll be dying for water all day.

Easy way to stay healthy!

5PM everyday.

no but you will likely throw up, especially if you do it all over a few hours

It's because there is no Sugar in water, you have probably drank drinks with tons of sugar your whole life(like orange/apple juice). You just aren't used to it.

One thing which certainly helps me a lot to drink enough/more water (I try to drink at least 2L a day + coffee) is using a glass. I'm just drinking more and more regularily using a glass compared to drinking directly out of the bottle, don't know why, but that's the way it is.
