“A gallon of water is not that much water”

I’m over here drowning trying to finish it.

[mariaelda]

The answer is: It DEPENDS

There, I saved you 8 minutes. You're welcome.

[miekaxiii]

4:15 if your here to find out if 1 gallon of water is okay to drink 😌

[ashddd]

This whole video was a long way of saying "it depends"

[waje]

Doctor Mike could talk about anything and I'd listen

[ArtSeeFriend]

So, basically, whenever I’m thirsty I should select water instead of other beverages! Whenever I’m thirsty I should just drink water. I can have other beverages recreationally! ☺️

[henkka]

I drink 2 liters and pee 10 times a day..

[shayzimbelman]

It seems like I'm never thirsty, so if I don't set reminders I don't drink anything.

[keith]

Yeah but in school you gotta go like every 40 minutes 😂😂

[IAmShavonne]

Wow…this is the exact confirmation I require in this very moment. I haven’t been conscious enough about my water consumption lately, and have lost a ton of weight that I didn’t need to lose…well received.

Mike: A gallon a day isn’t really really that much.

me: only being able to drink one glass of water a day

[juandemarko]

I am 5' 10 weigh 165 lbs and I drink 3 litres of water a day . It works well for me considering that I live in a tropical climate with very high levels of humidity.

[lorraineblessed]

[KilgoreTroutAsf]

Here is how I know when to drink water: when I get thirsty

[yokiryuchan]

Drinking water actually helps my anxiety.

[Anna-]

I’m currently fighting a uti following a cystoscopy. I’m over hydrated now. It’s really uncomfortable, and causing nausea. I don’t recommend drinking just because you think you should be.

[jacqbx]

I'm happy I searched for this answer. Sounds like a plan to me.

[iaxandthemoon]

The wildest take I've seen on the "stay hydrated" was some people claiming that tea doesn't "count"

[youraverageblackgirl]

When I started drinking a bottle of water daily, I noticed that my saliva was becoming less thick and my acne was starting to tame itself. I’m 16 years old and weigh about 95lbs so I think the benefits maybe amplified.

[spurthichadharam]

We can shall may ( with suitable helping verb) drink 5 liters of water
Morning 1 liter
Afternoon 2 liter
Evening 2 liter preferably for Indian climate as the position of Suns focus to maintain proper balance of temperature, safety in mind, thought belief expression and faith..
