2 plus gallons now due to 100 degree heat index and being outside. But I've always drank a lot of water.

Never enough. I am always trying to get better with it.

About 8 or 10 16.9 Oz bottles of Ozarks.
2 or 3 medium gatorade zeros.
3 cans of diet soda. I work outside and walk 10 - 15 miles in the heat. I know the diet soda is trash but need the caffeine . Haha

Shoot for 1 gallon as a baseline. I include coffee and diet soda toward that goal. I sometimes just can’t fucking stomach drinking the water anymore. So, I’ll settle for 3-3.5L.
Ahh true ok, thats a good call about that, as i have to add a bit of flavor or i am so tired of it. I get those squirt powerade things.
Will have to keep better track
As i only get like a half gallon, not good. Will go for gallon a day starting today

Not enough, it's over 100, humidity is high, 10 16oz bottles still leave a deficit. I'm lucky if I pee once during the day.

After I get my gallon I don't keep track. So I get that plus whatever coffee or other stuff. And most nights I'll have a bottle of mineral water or a can of carbonated water because plain water gets boring, I tell myself it's a reward.
3-4 quarts of fluid is more then enough for e unless i am spending extended periods of time out in the sun. That is enough fluid to retain my weight without flushing huge amounts of electrolytes out of my system that i would need to replace. Like most things i find more is not always better sufficient is best.

Apparently whatever you do, don't down 4 X 16.9oz of water in a span of 20 minutes or less; a woman in the U.S. died over Fourth of July from 'water toxicity', drinking too much water too quickly. I can't at the moment, otherwise I'd do a quick search for the article...for anyone interested in the science and other details that have been released since, it happened in Indiana, I believe.
Anyway, I track daily water intake and I drink at least 144oz and a max of approximately 192oz each day. Since staying on top of that I rarely feel dehydrated or any depletion to speak of, especially when I time my peak hydration closer to my workouts. This has worked for me for several years.

Not saying I don’t believe you but this is def a rare occurrence. I’ve def chugged half a gallon of water and more quicker than that and felt just fine.

It seems to be related to sodium levels in tbe blood. If you are responsible with electrolytes, you are less likely to have an issue.

Well like I said, I just read an article about it, like a month ago. Just did a quick search to make sure I didn't dream it and for my own curiosity; same reports are online but I'm not attempting to make anyone believe anything...it's just info on the Internet like anything else.
Lots of rare things in this world...I'd be surprised if we all heard about, know about, whatever regarding every single instance of every single thing...not to mention that it's a classic example of something affecting an individual unlike it would affect another, be it 'rare' or common.

One does not even have to drink water quickly. It is all about the volume consumed over time. Enough water in the brain can cause issues including death.

Thanks for sharing that. I have become more aware after a colleague was hospitalized.One does not even have to drink water quickly. It is all about the volume consumed over time. Enough water in the brain can cause issues including death.

Water safety used to mean flotation devices and don't dive in shallow water. We now have more consider.
It's true. It happened over July 4th weekend in Indiana. She left behind a husband and two young children. She was dehydrated and drank plain water, no electrolytes, in 20 minutes.
Mom of 2 dies of water intoxication, family says
Ashley Summer's brother said she drank 64 ounces of water in 20 minutes.
Some dogs have died from this too. Playing in the water too long and swallowing too much water.
