We drink bottled water here too! I get mine at walmart. $2.50 / 12 16.9 oz bottles. My husband drink 6 a day.. I try to do 5.. but it's so hard. 3 is the norm. We used to drink that much a day in regular soda.
Tara I never even thought about restaurant's giving tap water!! I do drink bottled water at home. We go through 6 five-gallon bottles a month. It's been great, because even the kids are drinking more water.
I drink between 64 and 96 ounces per day. I buy the gallon jugs of spring water from Walmart and fill 1-litre bottles which I keep in the fridges at home AND work.
The only things you can count towards your water consumption (other than good old H2O) are:
decaffeinated beverages (example: diet coke - caffeine free)
crystal light products
skim milk
juice (I think - I don't have my book here)
They all count towards your water intake. Of course straight water is best in my opinion. I never count the above in my water total for the day. So really I get more water in! (I have skim milk and juice every morning).
