As we all know in weather like we have at the moment we must drink more. How successful are you at doing this?

I usually have a drink around emaltime and inbetween meals, but now a glass stands on the drainer waiting to be filled and drained at regular intervals.

As well as my usual drinks, I had a glass of water, even before my morning coffee. I was out deliviring leaflets for an hour in the early morning and had 2 glasses on my return. After doing the weekly shop, when I got home I did the same again.

We are driving to DD's this evening and I will top up when I get there - and not drink anything alcoholic.

So 7 or 8 extra glasses of water today and as I am not going to the loo any more than usual, they are clearly needed to keep me properly hydrated.

It's not hot here. I drink water before and after all dog walks, with all meals, and before coffee -- enough is enough, in my opinion.

Not enough, that’s for sure….

Where I am in Scotland it hasn't been very hot. I live in hope.
We should all drink more water though.
