I love water, and I'm super good at being hydrated. I bet I'm like in the top 5% of all Americans in terms of hydration. I feel better by drinking lots of water. Plus, it interrupts an otherwise desk-bound workday existence with a raison d'etre: frequent restroom breaks. Hooray water!

Yeah I drink about 3/4 a gallon a day during the summer.

I love water too. Big time. I carry a bottle of water with me everywhere I go.
One time I paid $6 to get a cup of water from the Scottrade Center. True story.

I know it doesn't need to be done, but I'm doing it anyway:

Sounds like you have polydipsia. Get yourself checked for the dirty D: Diabetes. For 2-3 years before I was diagnosed I had an insatiable thirst and urinated every 6 and a half minutes. Most people hated riding in the car with me. My polydipsia led to polyureta. I had to pee on a building in downtown Portland once like a homeless or a drunk or a homeless drunk. Another time I peed into a Nalgene bottle while driving.
I relish not being so thirsty and having to go so badly these days. But I still drink quite a bit of water.

I buy a bottle a week but i fill it up with tap water until the label gets too dirty/nasty looking.

If drinking lots of ice water is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

I'm not always thirsty though and I definitely don't have to pee that often.
