Since I don't drink coffee, tea, or milk I usually fill up on water.
Every day I drink 20oz as soon as I wake up. I drink 20oz again after I walk the dog in the morning (which is every single day). During the day I drink between 80-120oz. I try to space it out but if it doesn't out like that I'll slam it at the end of the work day whether I'm thirsty or not. When I got home I have another 20oz after walking the dog (again, every day) and another 20oz before bed. So at the very least I tend to get 150oz each day.
Once you get into a routine it's really not too hard. Also helps if you use pre-measured cups or jars. I started keeping a record of how long I sleep, how much water I drink, what foods I eat and how much and type of exercise I take every day. Making a conscious effort to keep track of this stuff really makes me aware if I'm neglecting any particular area.
EDIT: The way I see it, the water not only keeps my appetite in check, it helps regulate smooth and consistent digestion and it will flush out a lot of the toxins. Also hoping it helps slow down the cumulative degradation from drinks and drugs.

Just enough to be slightly below the chad quench. If I walk six miles i drink around two gallons for the day.

Sedentary = around a gallon
Active = probably a gallon and a half or more depending on activity level, weather
There are probably better books, but there's an 'okay' book I've read called Your Body's Many Cries For Water and it's fairly informative if you buy the 3rd edition. Here's an excerpt from the 1st chapter of the book:
"Water has a firmly established and essential hydrolytic role in all aspects of body metabolism--water-dependent chemical reactions (hydrolysis).The property of water drives all chemical reactions that create life. Water is the source of energy for the creation of life"
Going to run through the book and provide cliffs of the importance of water. The body needs adequate amounts of water for (according to the doctor and sources cited in book):
-Energy metabolism / helps manufacture ATP and GTP
-Maximizing enzyme and protein function / efficiency
-Ensures nerve cells are healthy and functioning optimally (Nerve Cells = 85% water)
-Histamine (Neurotransmitter) formation and release
-Removal of acidic toxic waste of metabolism
-Helps prevent a myriad of disease: Heartburn, Rheumatoid Pain, Anginal pain - Heart, Headaches, Leg pain while walking, High Blood Pressure or Hypertension
-Lubricating joints, all tissues, lubricating spinal vertebral joints, water is necessary for spinal health
-Preventing chronic fatigue syndrome
-Hormone health
-Renin-Angiotensin System
-Water, salts, potassium together regulate the water content of the body
There's probably a lot more to be said and in a lot more depth than what's presented in this particular book, it was first published in 1992 and the third edition of it was printed in 2008. But that's enough info for me to continue taking water intake seriously. From age 13 until now, if I had to average it all out, I probably drink about a gallon of water each day. For several years I was drinking nearly 2 gallons like it was clockwork. I would always drink like 5-8 cups during work, gallon during workouts, several cups after workout. It's my view that if you're exercising regularly you should treat water intake seriously. Make it a habit to drink 1.5 gallons or what is needed. Even if sedentary, the body still calls for a great amount of water for maintaining one's health

But doesnt your body handle that by getting thirsty? Also, you silly americans and your measurements!

I don't drink anything else other than water and sometimes juice. No alcohol, no milk, no tea, no soda. Nothing else. I drink as much as I can til til I hit the diarrhea threshold.

Some say that by the time you're thirsty you're already in need of more water than you would think. I don't make a great deal of it really, my thinking is that the body is constantly at work and water is the most vital nutrient next to oxygen so I drink it constantly

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22714078/
I just found this out a minute ago (taken from the study listed above): "During physical exercise amount of exhaled H(2)O is linear, but not proportional to heart rate. And so at the heart rate of 140 bpm amount of exhaled water is approximately four times higher than during the rest and equals about 60-70 ml/h"
So moderate exercise for about an hour is going to cause you to lose about 60/70 ml of water every hour just by simply breathing. Pretty interesting

I drink a few cups of water, but I also brew cups of tea throughout the day. Cold training makes me pee a lot.

I brush my teeth with water (when I want to be healthy). Otherwise it's all beer and bourbon for me

I don't drink just water, ever. Even if I go for a 50 mile bike ride I fill my bottles with squash. I do drink copious amounts of tea every day though, probably about 5-6 litres.
2L of tap water (it's very good and clean here) at most on normal days. And I already feel like I need to piss too much. More during workout days.
If I would drink 3L+ a day I would be a walking fountain. What is this 3.7L bullcrap!? Like with those 2500 calories just for your body to function. You would get fat very quickly without enough movement. Speaking from experience.

Squash? Like the vegetable?
Lindhouse Cherries & Berries Double Strength Squash - Food Cheats
Looking for a different flavour of squash to drink, I spotted the Lindhouse Cherries & Berries in Lidl. This is a double strength squash, which means you need half the water to make it into a cold drink. So I thought I’d give it a go. This is a “no added sugar” squash – I […]

I bring a 64oz jug of water to work, depending on the day I'll go through it twice then refill again at home after work.
Not even in the top five.
Vicki Vallencourt is by far the hottest Sandler movie babe. Dear lord. I need to re-watch that soon

I grew up watching my grandpa have trouble with kidney stones and gout due to his religious fervor of Dr. Pepper and general refusal to drink water. So I have a big ass "Bubba" brand water container that I drink out of and I drink two of those a day. 3 of them after a night of drinking.

First is Emmanuelle Chriqui from Zohan, third is Brooklyn Decker from Just Go With It. Adam Sandler has had some ridiculously good looking women as the female lead in his movies.

I am into that blonde blue eyed chick look at the moment, since the mom of my second son looks like that.

I refill my Hydro Flask a few times every day, and I drink water with every meal, so I'd say my water consumption is just enough. I'd like to drink a gallon a day, though. I sometimes drink that much during the summer when it's hot and I'm outside exercising 3-4 days a week.
