My coach tells me to drink 2 gallons of water a day - basically that sucks so I dont do that. I drink about a gallon of water a day and then whatever I feel like drinking from diet sodas.

I drink tons of water, but have no idea on the actual ounces.. Its over 1 gallon a day.. I drink over 1/2 of a gallon during a workout.
have to be careful with drinking too much water in a short period of time

I only drink water, all day every day. Have a 1 quart glass of ice water with me at the house all the time and go through 3 - 4 a night plus the 4-6 16oz bottles I drink a day at work (bring 1 and refill it all day).

I can only seem to get down about 3/4 gal per day. If I keep taking in water after 7:00 pm, I'll be waking up to pee all night ... like 3 to 4 times. It really disrupts a good nights sleep. So after 7:00, I just sip on my favorite Gatorade.

I drink water only, all day and evening. At least a gallon per day. I need it, as I sweat profusely  . For instance, today; I ran 4 miles (same as yesterday), and I lost 3.5lbs of water weight from running, and can sometimes sweat as much as 5lbs of water out in one day. It's said that a pint of water= approx 1lb., so beside re-hydrating, it's easy for me to drink at least a gallon per day.

1-1.5 a day. It's funny, people at work always comment about my gallon jug. "You drink that much water?"

one gallon every day at least, and I'm sure that will be more now that the hot weather is here.

I don't drink much water relative to most here. Maybe 32 oz per day -- and even then it is usually mixed with crystal light. I tried the massive quantities of water thing awhile back, and all it did was send me to the bathroom far more often.

I take mine with a shot of lemon juice, when it's 90 and humid like today I probably put away a gallon.
