how much water do you drink in a day?

not tea/coffee/whatever beverages. just straight up wata

popped into my head earlier when posting in another thread about AI usage of water when I'm almost as bad. easily 2L a day not counting what I drink at night when I go out dancing/at the daytime office, etc

also on my mind as I'm having surgery tomorrow (nothing serious, just a reconstruction of some cosmetic dental implants I had put in about 13 years ago). normally they'd last at least 15 years but I have osteoporosis so the bones surrounding the implants have weakened a bit. last dental cleaning the doc told me they were a bit wobbly and better to get 'em redone before one fails and I have an embarrassing incident publicly or privately with one coming loose and falling out

was hoping they could just give me some laughing gas and redo the implants as I don't mind a bit of pain but nope, a whole surgery thing that will require gen anesthetic

that means 8 hours with no water leading up to it. fuck me

no food for 8 hours, that's cool, I think that's called tuesday. but no water? man I am gonna be so cranky tomorrow am

relieved to get this done as the 'cross island trips for specialist consult/xrays, etc have been a PITA no matter how gorgeous the travel is, but NOT looking forward to a very parched night and morning

all in all I probs drink 2.5-3 L per day. it's hot here and am very active. but so is everyone else and no one drinks nearly as much as me

just curious, how much y'all drink?
