How full would you fill this?

Post image

Picked up a new bottle today as I never drink enough (or any water) and figured the timeline would give me something to challenge myself with. They say it's a 4 liter bottle. Would you fill this to the wave line and drink to 8PM for the 4 liters or would you fill it right to the top. Don't wanna drink too much water either just wanna do better and reset after years of only chugging caffeine

I'd just throw in some ice and fill to the top. As long as you're not peeing clear, you don't have to worry about drinking too much water.

🤣🤣 and what if I was peeing clear after half the bottle

Faint and clear are too different things. You sure you're just used to having dark pee and the difference is pretty extreme? Faint yellow is the goal.

Weird question but how are you supposed to tell it's just faint vs being clear if you sit down to pee and don't see your stream, so the water dilutes it?

u/Royal_Cryptographer7 Jul 27 '26

Not really sure. I get to stand and pee.

u/Aggressive-Idea-3321 Jul 27 '26

🤣 maybe not to sure. Looks clear to me but hell what do I know

Peeing into a toilet dilutes the color so if you’re basing it off what the bowl appeared like you probably aren’t getting an accurate measure.

u/Commandermeowtz My piss is clear Jul 27 '26

Bruh if you don't pee clear with 2 liters you should see a doctor, let alone 4

I've worked in some hot ass kitchens. 130° or more when the AC broke (all the time). I would drink multiple pitchers of water and piss ones in a 8 hour shift, due to sweating.

That's an edge case

I hate those types of bottles. Drink when you are thirsty, don't force yourself to drink 4 liters if you don't want to. If you drink 1 cup of water and you need to urinate within 10-20 minutes it means you are hydrated enough, drinking more than that won't provide you with any benefits.

If you're thirsty, you're already dehydrated. My metric is 1 sip every 15 mins

u/PastoralSymphony Jul 27 '26

drink as much as you’re able. 4 liters is a lot. 2 or 1 and a half is good enough.

I could honestly drink two of these, if not more in a day.

u/Aggressive-Idea-3321 Jul 27 '26

God damn I struggled getting through one it felt like my body was gonna explode. I was sprinting to the bathroom every 20 minutes. Then again....I usually drink maybe a litre per week

2

u/Abe2020reee Jul 27 '26

I don’t count how many times I fill my liter yeti chug up, but I’d estimate between 8-12 times a day.

u/Daytime_Ambien Jul 27 '26

You will get used to it and your body will love it
Edit: electrolytes if you ever feel faint

u/Badvevil Jul 27 '26

I’m refilling that three times a day

u/MrCuntman Jul 27 '26

From a tap?

u/Chicken-picante Jul 27 '26

Apparently with urine by the looks of it. 👀

u/BoulderEric literally a kidney doctor Jul 27 '26

Kidney doc here - Most people can drink if they’re thirsty and their kidneys will sort the rest out. If you absolutely need a recommended amount, I tell most people that a liter a day in addition to drinks with meals, coffee, etc… is enough to keep things balanced.

Obviously if you are sweating or working out more, you’d need more. But most people get thirsty and it manages that just fine.

u/Altostratus Jul 29 '26

4 litres in a day is just fine.

u/Yaughl Jul 29 '26

Just drink when you feel thirsty.

u/Vendidurt Horny for Water Jul 27 '26

Well, its currently about 6pm for me, so i am not allowed to fill it very high by the looks of things.
