Every morning i fill up my 2litre jug and make sure that i drink it all by the end of the day.

Did you know that your body is 60-70% water?

Your pee should be a light yellow. If it's a dark yellow then you're not drinking enough water.

If you're trying to lose weight, it's a good idea to drink cold (or iced) water. As your body will burn more kilojoules trying to heat up the cold water, therefore you're burning more energy by doing nothing ^.^

You might think that's too much water, but it's equivalent to a glass every hour, or half a glass every half an hour might be easier for you. I just take a couple sips every 20 minutes or so.

Also, water keeps you full- and prevents you from snacking. If you ever feel hungry, you might not actually be hungry you might just be thirsty. So if you ever feel abit hungry, drink a glass of water and see how you feel after 5 or 10 minutes if you're still hungry then you need to eat!

I do the same, but with individually bottled water (600ml). My boss Carlos always buys big crates of them because they're cheaper than the neverfail bottles that get delivered!

serious wow never thought it'd be cheaper how many bottles do you go through in a day i think if i sipped from a bottle i'd drink less cos i'd be sipping and the bottle thing is small. if i drink from a cup i can take big gulps without spilling

I go through about 3 bottles a day and I gulp it down pretty fast haha.

It does end up cheaper coz they're 30c for 600ml so that's $0.5 per litre of water. Check your neverfail bills and you'll see it's more expensive getting it delivered like that!

i beat you both, at my work we've got a tank that purifies and cools tap water so we just have to press a button at the tap.
there's also one that boils water for boiling water.
