On hot days, I’ll drink nearly two gallons. Most days 1.5 gallons. Just water. I have a very large cup that is a pint and a cup. I’ll drink 8-10 of those a day. Though I eat a lot of salty/dry foods. America baby. If I go for a long bike ride I’ll be able to wring my shirt/sweatshirt and sweat will come pouring out.

After a long ride I’ll drink nearly half a gallon of water. Likely excessive but it tastes really good.

It’s likely there is a very large variation in the water people need to consume. During college, I knew individuals that would drink merely a glass or two all day (minus before/after going to the library). Very small water bottles. Though these individuals looked to be <100 lbs.
