I drink tons of water. I'm supposed to drink like 100 ounces a day. That's too much. Can I switch some water out with tea? Is there a problem with that?

100 oz is not alot. What ever your fitness goal, a gallon should be your minimum. Out here in the desert, I easily hit 2 gallons per day during the summer. Tea is not a good alternative (especially if it's not decaff) since caffeine is a diuretic.

I fill up a gallon of water the night before and I suck it down the next day. It is actually quite easy to do, and I find that it curbs my appetite.

10 oz? man thats nothing! I keep a 20 oz bottle watter with me all day at school, I feel it up about 4 times a day! Then I have my work out where I drink about another 30 to 40 oz in a workout( depening on my cardio. I keep it in my car and sip on it as i make my 45 min commute to school and back.

Try crystallight a lil bit in water makes It have a taste, but never substitute regualar water, water is the only thing that goes in your body thats 0. Suck it up and drink!:dumbbell:
