I've been drinking bottled water for 30 years. I'm almost never without a bottle of water...so about 40 oz./day. I really enjoy water, it tastes good to me. I am often thirsty - I'd never thought of it before, but maybe meds play a part in my thirst. I do drink more in the heat of summer than in cooler weather. The tap water in the town where I live is extremely hard &tastes like a mouthful of salt, so I stick with bottled water for drinking.

And I cherish my 2 cups of coffee in the morning - coffee with milk, and the occasional half-caf cup in the afternoon.
