I'm 8 weeks out from my first bodybuilding competition. I've been drinking about a liter of water a day and I don't know if that's enough. I've read that I should be consuming at least a gallon a day. Why so much water? It's kind of a hassle walking around a college campus with a gallon of water in your hand..lol. Also, what are your thoughts on diuretics?

Getting a gallon in a day isn't bad. Just drink with your meals. I'm up to two gallons per day and its not too bad, I just have to really chug when I'm eating.
IMO at 8 weeks out I wouldn't measure my water. Just make sure your not getting dehydrated and you'll be ok.
