If you drink anything besides water, please note.

I try to drink ~2L every day. I do this because I was Coca Cola addict and 2L bootleg was mine measure.

16 oz a day only sadly

I would imagine you're getting fluids from something else too otherwise that seems extremely low.

I know the science is all over but a good general census I've had with my doctors so far is "stick to half your body weight in ounces as a minimum". So for a 150lbs 75oz or close to 5x what you're drinking.

At least 2L, often more. Plus about 5 cups coffee.

3-6L depending on physical exertion.

Whenever I'm thirsty I'll drink a glass or two, till it quench my thirst. Nothing more. So it varies day by day, season by season

Usually 4-6l / day water

1 or 2 12oz cold brew coffee with coconut milk.

0.5-1l other soft drinks (isotonic or juice)

Also drink 1 or 2 large protein fruit smoothies daily depending on how much I exercise

as much as Coca-Cola #hydration marketing tells me to
