I’ve mentioned it before on RER, but I have a bit of a drinking problem.
Not as in the Lindsey Lohan kinda way, (source)
but in the “Mint.com sent you a notice that you’ve exceeded your budget on beverages” and it’s only the 5th of the month.
In reality I don’t know exactly how much I drink because I fill up my water bottle a few times (not sure how many) and grab random Vitawaters, seltzers and diet DPs throughout the day as well.
In honor of Thirsty Thursday I am holding a contest. Today I’m going to track how much I drink and the winner gets a case of O.N.E Active Coconut Water!
To Enter: Leave a guess in the comments as to how much I drink. You can give your guess in ounces, bottles, metric tons, shots of tequila – I don’t care.
Today I will keep track of my beverage consumption and I’ll announce the winner tomorrow morning.
The winner will be the person who most accurately guesses my intake (or is the most amusing).
This morning I woke up early and did some ab work before grabbing a breakfast burrito and heading to work.
I only had a quick equipment orientation so I went to a KB class after. I swear by KB. Love it.
It’s Cinco de Mayo! Do you have your sombrero on?!
Seriously, I have to give a shout out to my Grams and her favorite Mariachi song, Volver. Makes me think of her and smile
Okay now leave a guess as to how much I’m drinking today!

I am horrible at guessing how much people drink because I NEVER monitor how much I drink, but I am going to get 213oz. I dont know why, but I think that you are drinking alot of water, diet soda, vitiman water, and maybe a little bit of alcohol!! 😀

Emma (Namaste Everyday) says
In New zealand, it’s hard to find authentic places, but I ended up at a latin american place and spent a fortune on something i could have easily made myself if I was back in the US where normal grocery stores have tortillas and salsa and all that “normal” stuff that is ethnic here, lol

My guess is 145 oz!
Amy Ramos says
I say 160 oz.. Four of those ounces will be in tequila shots tonight!
Gavi @ Gavi Gets Going! says
You drink…
* just enough to keep you smiling day in and day out, despite the horrific southern California traffic
* not so much that the state of California has kindly asked you to curb your liquid intakes so as to prevent an even more serious drought
* just enough so that you never complain about the color of your pee on RER (too far?)
I’m guessing that is…150 oz. of liquids. Hydration is awesome…especially when you’re hydrating with Vitamin Water Zero Orange and Diet Dr. Pepper (my two faves).
Ida says
I’ll guess 123oz.

love coconut water..it’s my current obsession 🙂
I’m guessing 5.5 liters (or 185.90 fl oz)

Y Volver, volver, Voolllllllveerrrr!!!! I love it!

If the average is 64 ounces, I’d have to guesstimate 192 ounces because you have the thirst of 3 thirsty ladies! I promise to give that coconut water a loving home 🙂
Samantha says
I’m going to guess 155 oz.

So 117 oz. 🙂
Amanda @ Cucina Amanda says
Hmmm….let’s say 2.5L plus at least 1 margarita!! The margarita is a must since it’s Cinco de Mayo!!

L.G. says
160 oz. 😀
jill says
Apparently I’m way off because my first inclination was to guess in the 200 oz range. I’ve pared that down and now my guess is 180 oz! 🙂 Thinking about that makes me want to run to the bathroom…
stephanie says
6 water bottles, 2 sodas, 2 extra (vitawaters) and 1 margarita
Crystal says
I would guess…hmmm….133 oz. (so make sure you drink exactly that amount today okay?) 😛
Kate says
I’m going to go 125 oz. of fluid. Although, since today is Cinco de Mayo I feel I should also guess 2 tequila shots! 🙂
Kellie says
I have a drinking problem too. Before I gave up the crack (diet coke) I literally drank a 12pk a day. I feel sorry for waiters when we go out to eat because I am always asking for refills.
Christina says
I’d say 2 galons plus 1-2 margaritas, it is cinco de mayo afterall!
amanda says
Hmmm. Your water bottle is 24oz…. your iced coffee is at least 12oz…. diet soda 12oz… juice from a juice bar 12oz…. my guess: 144oz. How do you have time to blog?! I’d be peeing all day!
hippierunner says
I’m guessing you fill your water bottle 4 times, have 24 oz of soda+Vitawater and today will also have a drink or 2 in celebration of the holiday!
Annie says
I’m guessing 1.75L – the same size as a handle of tequila. A coincidence? I think not. 😉
katie says
im going to say about 12 or 14 cups!
Maren says
okay, to celebrate the holiday I’m going to say
25 shots of tequila…with salt and limes, so 37.5 oz
2 24-oz strawberry margaritas with sugar on the rim
3 12 oz coronas with lime
1 dos equis b/c you don’t always drink beer…but when you do, you drink dos equis (and corona)
So, that means you had 133.5 oz of liquids…and you’re probably in the hospital from all the alcohol you consumed.
Jamie in Arkansas says
84 is my guess. And that’s all it is. A guess. 🙂
adriana says
My sisters is the same way! I will guess you drink about 125 oz fluids today.
Aneessa says
i say…144 ounces – i added a few more in hopes that you’ll be enjoying a Margarita in honor of the Holiday 🙂
Heidi says
around 120 oz
EL says
I think the more interesting question is how much do you pee?
runeatrepeat says
Ha! That will be tomorrow’s question 🙂
Julie says
ha! i was going to say this too
Valerie says
I guess 112 ounces!
Kara says
A metric ass ton.
Emily says
I’m going to guess around 115 ounces.
Elizabeth R. says
117 ounces
Christin says
Okay, so since it’s Cinco de Mayo, I gotta measure in margaritas…
lets see…let’s assume each margarita represents 8oz of liquid (and is mango flavored because that’s my favorite) but back to my point…
You start off your day by drinking a margarita with breakfast…then you fill your margarita bottle up with two more and start sipping…by lunchtime you have finished this off and are feelin’ good, but your not done yet…
You open a bottle of margarita and drink that with lunch.
You’re feelin good now, so you fill up your margarita bottle with two more and are on your merry way…perhaps stumbling and slurring a little, but who cares?
You go for a zigzagged run and finish off your margarita bottle, so you refill. by dinnertime you need another refreshment…you’ve downed only half of your current (third) margarita bottle, so you still have one pending while you have a glass of margarita with dinner.
Time to go out! you have 2 more glasses of margarita whilst out and about…
feelin happy now!
You come home, finish up that other margarita left in your margarita bottle, then refill it and set it by your bed…drink another half a margarita…you are whisked away to margaritaville in your dreams.
Total margarita count? 11 and 1/2 margaritas, or 90oz
🙂
Christin says
Disclaimer: I’m not crazy, or a drunk, just bored at work, and it was more interesting to go with margaritas 🙂
runeatrepeat says
I didn’t think you were crazy, but I kinda wish you were drunk at work. Or maybe, I wish I was drunk at work…
Christin says
I think if both of us were drunk at work they would cancel each other out and would therefore be totally acceptable behavior 🙂
Katy (The Singing Runner) says
This comment has to win! I’m sorry… it left me in stitches! 😀
christin says
Thx Katy! 🙂
