Jackie00--Think of a liter as a quart. [Actually, it's about a quart plus 1 1/2 ounces--but a quart is close enough for our purposes.] So Wynter is saying she drinks between 32 and 48 ounces at one go. I can believe that, because I can do it, too. Personally, I aim to drink about 5 quarts--so 160 ounces--a day, though I vary a lot.

One way to figure out how much water you should be drinking is to take your weight, divide it by 2, and drink that number of ounces. When I started, at 316 pounds, that worked out to 158 ounces--which I rounded up to 160. I've never changed that amount.

One thing I did to help me keep track of my water is to buy a Nalgene quart bottle. I just keep filling it up.

Of course, you do have to have access to a bathroom!
