Drinking Water - Do you get enough?

Does anyone here ACTUALLY drink the recommended 8 glasses of water a day? I've been trying to increase my water intake but was wondering if this is an attainable goal on an everyday basis?

I wake up and have a glass, knocking out one for the day. So far today I've had one glass of water and two cups of coffee :X I made a huge pitcher of Crystal Light lemonade at my house and use the 'on the go' packets at work. When I add Crystal Light it makes drinking water easier because it's tasty--- plus it has antioxidants and vitamins. Anyone else ever tried it?

What things do you do to make sure you get enough water each day? Are you able to drink enough water (the recommended amount)?

I'm good for three 32oz. glasses a day, more if I go to the gym. My wife has a terrible time getting enough. Most experts will tell you that coffee and soda don't count even though they're 99% water. I read a book a few years ago about the importance of staying hydrated. It's amazing all the benefits you get from drinking water....especially the pain relief.

When I exercise I get more water too- that's a given.

I found thee other facts about how important hydration is when I was browsing the Crystal Light site...
- Hydration plays a critical role in maintaing a normal body temperature.
- Hydration improves digestion.
- Hydration lubricates joints and tissues.
- Hydration aids in the elimination of waste and toxins from the body.
- Hydration assists with the movement of nutrients through the entire body.

Any other tips on getting enough water? I started drinking a glass as soon as I wake up -- it helps get me going!

Holy Moly is on a distinguished road
I have to force myself to drink water as I really don't much care to drink it.

I do drink other liquids through the day to keep my body replenished though.

BUT, I make an attempt at the water......

Anyone got a link to this actual recommendation of 8 Glasses a Day?
Every Doctor I've heard when pressed, states there is no actual recommendation.

Drinking enough water is a challenge...My daily intake is around 4-6 cups.
There was an article on NaturoDoc website stating that you need app. 1/2 oz water per every pound of your weight, and app. 2.3 oz if you're active physically.
