I am in a dry place and in winter I get up to drink water twice or thrice? Do humidifiers work in such situations?

No it won't help keep you hydrated on the inside. You have to drink plenty of fluids to get that. A humidifier can help with dry air in your home, which can lead to bloody noses, stuffy noses, chapped lips, and even dry furniture. Get one that has a very fine mist. Something that takes 8 hours to go through 2 gallons of water. Or you'll have dripping walls.

I have sinus problems in the winter time due to the winter weather and my humidifier sure comes in handy. Make sure that you are keeping your body hydrated by drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water a day. Another thing that I have found very helpful is hanging a couple of drenching-wet washclothes over a extra shower curtain rod in the bathroom. When my nose gets really dry I apply some vaseline petroleum jelly on a q-tip and apply liberally. Hope this helps..have a great day!!

All the more reason to have one. Your breath contains moisture as you can see it in cold weather. A house that has more humidity in the winter is warmer. Don't vent your bathrooms excessively. Plants add humidity and oxygen.

No, it hydrates the air your breath ..not your body.
