Do we drink enough? - Small chilli - 13-01-2026
I’ve been drinking water. I never do that unless I’m at death’s door.

I've usually got a cup or a water bottle next to me.

I only drink water or herb/green/black tea (hot or cold).

If I'm thirsty, it's water every time. Tea out of habit. No fizzies or squash for me.

Usually I live on coke (not the diet stuff , migraine before I finish a glass of that vile stuff ). A hot chocolate if I’m very cold. Very occasionally orange or apple juice, only during hot weather. one can or pint of lager in the evening with tea. So swapping out some of my coke with water is a massive change & challenge for me. Still not drinking a huge amount. As I’ve never managed to drink the supposed 2.5lt of liquid a day. Does anyone? I’m still having my glass of coke in a morning (when normal people would have tea or coffee). I tried cutting that out a while ago and just spent the rest of the day with a headache. So not cutting out my morning hit of sugar.

I drink Tea with a spot of milk then for a change either Red tea or ginger and lemon, with a chocolate mint drink before bed. I drink water during meals and throughout the day from either a glass or a water bottle.

Just measured my favourite mug - it holds Half a pint /quarter of a litre. So I need to drink 8-10 cups a day. Its hard to put a figure on how many cups I drink as I just keep topping up my cup from the bottomless teapot (with its single teabag/spoon of tea).
Tomorrow, I'll try to keep count of cups.

My regular mug is ½ litre. I normally have 4 hot drimks a day with a possible 5th. That'll do I reckon. Any more and I'd never be off the loo
