Reply With QuoteI go by the piss test, if it is clear or just a little bit of yellow then I am hydrated. If it is dark I up it until it looks good. Usually about 8 or nine cups a day after my morning coffee makes it look good.
If I were an athelte in training that would all go out the window but I am not.
Three 30 minute workout sessions a week and heart healthy cardio on the other 4. In other words I always know where my body is food wise and water wise unless I have lots of beers on a weekend.

5-6 L a day I feel is optimal.

Is this a one size fits all?? There has to be a difference in the impact, both positive and negative, of drinking 5-6L of water between a 150lber and a 300lber?

I had been drinking 6 litres are a day regularly. On training days I'd drink around 8 because of the horrible humidity and heat in the places I train.
Recently I've been getting lazy with my water intake.

If you drink too much water you can suffer from hyponatremia. Basically, you drink so much water that you flush a large percentage of sufficient sodium levels from your cells. This is rare, however. Originally Posted by juggernaut2005
