Your **** should be clear, the more yellow it is the more dehydrated you are. sorry for being so crude with the answer, I couldn't think of a better way of putting it

That's about the best (and simplest) way of telling, if it isn't running clear you aren't drinking enough. Thirst is not a good indicator.

Some people pee on their warts, supposely works.

About 3 litres a day for me (office worker in an air-conditioned office). Our quack at work reckons 3 litres is about right.

Clear ****?? thats not good, that means your too hydrated, and the body is now flushing the excess..

dark urine in the mornings is the result of urea, and other salts saturating, as the day goes on and you hydrate (take on fluids) it dilutes the salts and your urine settles down to a (theoretical norm) of straw coloured.. its an easy way to tell ghow hydrated you are

6 litres?.....sounds like a lot of water! Surely you can have too much of a good thing?....Im sure the bottled water companies would lead us to believe that we should be drinking LOTS......

Doesn't have to be bottled water. Tap is just as good.

In fact for medical reasons, you can be told to stay off bottled, as there's now way of telling how old the water is. Doctor's told the old chap that plain old Tap is just as good.

I'm sure the government will be keen to make us drink the nice pure flouride enriched water they provide us with..........call me a cynic but check out the side effects of flouride against the supposed benefits, and it may make you go hmm.......

Wouldn't touch the water round here with a bargepole - it stinks of chlorine even when the tap's been running for a while.
