I can drink way in excess of the recommended water per day limit. If I remember rightly you're supposed to drink 1.5L a day. I drink closer to 4L a day on average, a low day sees me down about 2L. The main reasons for this is I work in a building more akin to a big oven than a workplace! I also drink plenty of water when in the Gym which is pretty much every other day or so when possible. Though I do try not to drink too much water before or during my cardio sessions as I find the motion of a full stomach of water to make me feel slow/heavier/less capable. I'd rather be dead thirsty at the end or during my weights than when I'm trying to maintain a constant pace for over 5km on an eliptical.
You'll get used to this eventually, just takes time. I pee something like 4 or 5 times a day even with the quantity of water I drink.
I find the hydration and purifying effects it has on my body are great, I also find that it makes me more easily get drunk on the weekends if I go out. Whilst being more drunk is not a good thing, spending less cash on alcohol is good![]()
