I have been trying to increase my water intake and now that my wife has gotten me a nice 32 oz nalgene bottle with the amount lines on it I can keep track of what I am drinking.

 

The real question is how much is enough? I drank 64 oz yesterday and stopped drinking at 8 pm so I wouldn't get up in the middle of the night but it didn't work. I think I will have to get the majority of my water in before 5 pm so I can sleep through the night. 

 

Today I am on track to drink at lease 96 oz's of water.
