How much do you drink a day?

I don't mean alcohol.. I mean normal drinks like tea, coffee, water or fizzy drinks. I'm asking because I think I drink a lot, especially when compared to other people at work, and yet I still feel thirsty. I want to know whether the amount is normal.

I always think I drink way too much, doesn't help I have a bladder the size of a pea :rolleyes:
Well water is very essential.I drink about 2 litres of water in a day and sometimes some juices.
How on earth do you manage to drink 6l of water in a day?!
I'd guess by peeing frequently
Habit, from when I was just a nipper. My Dad had kidney stones, and after seeing them, and imagining them coming out of my "winky", I kinda decided drinking plenty wasn't a bad idea at all...
Edit - back when I was cycling 20 miles each day during the summer, it would've been noticeably more than 6 litres. You lot who aren't drinking much - keep in mind that you'll lose a litre per day from just breathing...
If you feel like you're drinking a lot compared to other people and still feel thirsty, you may wanna see your GP. It could be nothing, but it can be a symptom of diabetes.
I love the fact you've clearly tested this! :d
If you drink water, that bloated feeling will go away. Plus drinking plenty would probably get rid of those stomach aches.
Anyway, I don't drink nearly as much as I should. Some days I won't have anything. I don't drink tea or coffee, so I don't even do the caffiene boost thing.
I can get through a litre of water or more when i run but i guess that is just replacing what i am losing.
I live in a shared house. Back in 2004/5, I was sharing with a couple of Polish lads. They went in the bath one after the other - I filled a cherryade bottle, then made a start on a milk container. Go Click!
On days when I'm playing Capoeira, I'll get through between 1 and 2 big bottles of water in 2 hours.
I have had my blood sugar tested a few times and it's always been fine.
I guess there's quite a big range between you all. It's made me feel better anyway thanks.
