I can't drink at least 8 glasses of water a day?

Question

Ok i've tried and i only get up to 5 glasses a day and i'm so mad cuz i can't drink 8. What do i have to do to drink 8 glasses a day?

Answer 1

Drink 3 more...you can do it...just space it out better.

Answer 2

some times the 8 glass a day thing doesnt work out for everyone. ive heard that people should drink have of their weight in ounces. so if you weigh 120, you would only need 60 ounces a day, instead of the typical 64. a full sized glass is usually more than 8 ounces. so when people say 8 glasses a day, they really only mean 64 ounces. most bottled water also are much more than 8 ounces. if you read the nutrition facts, it might say 1 bottle is two servings. so theres 2 glasses right there. try to space out when you drink it. remember you dont have to drink a whole glass in one sitting. you can keep a bottle of water with you while exercise and sip on it every so often. drink a glass with a meal. keep some cold water handy when at the office. pretty soon it should add up. good luck! =]

Answer 3

I'm guessing you're trying to drink 8 glasses a day because you read somewhere that it was good for your body to drink that much. In realiity, that 8 glasses can be in any form, including water contained in food. Most food, especially fruit and veg contains water and that can be included in the 8 glasses.

I reckon if you're drinking 5 glasses a day and eating sensibly, you are probably getting the required amount. Don't worry.

Answer 4

try a different brand of water which might surprisingly taste better and then you will be able to drink more. also set little goals for water drinking through out the day and before u know it u'll be drinking 100 glasses a day or at least 8

Answer 5

Oh boy. Scientific studies show that you do not need 8 glasses of water a day JUST to be hydrated. In fact, a few years back a (female) marathon runner died from drinking TOO much water. Basically, if you don't feel thirsty and your throat isn't dry, you're hydrated. Oh, and the color of your urine is an indicator also. Clear is healthy. Yellow is just all right.

Answer 6

when they say 8 glasses that is equal to about 2 litres of fluid so they don't need to be huge glasses.

Also you take fluid in in other ways such as through a glass of juice or milk.

Remember that the 8 glasses is over a 24 hour period not just work hours so there is plenty of time to spread them around and i'm sure if you have a close look at your fluid intake you are probably somewhere around the 8 glass mark.

Answer 7

You have to realize that a lot of the food that you eat already has water in it so you technically don't literally have to drink 8 glasses of water a day.

Answer 8

Your supposed to get 8 glasses of water daily, but you can a lot of this water in the foods you eat.

Five glasses a day in additon to the water found in the foods you eat is great!

Answer 9

they say its healthy to drink 8 glasses a day, but if you cant do it and you feel sick if you do then its obviously not the best choice. i dont drink 8 glasses a day, but i limited water to the only liquid i drink. or try drinkin a cup every 1 and a half hours

Answer 10

that 8 glasses of water a day is actually inclusive of everything you eat and drink all day. Everything has water in it. You are probably getting enough as long as you eat healthy and make an effort to stay hydrated.

Answer 11

i know it is really hard to drink water and i know how it feels. but i found a way, drink a glass of water every hour till u have reached 8 glass.
