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!
my guess is… 225oz!!
At least 198 oz. I’m a big drinker too. Everyone makes fun of me!
My guess is 199 ounces.
What was in the breakfast burrito? It looked delicious.
131 ounces
I am going to go with 2.3L (all together of liquids)!
225 ounces!
48 oz of iced coffee, 108 oz of water, 32 oz of Diet Dr. Pepper, and 5 shots of tequila!
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!! 😀
247 oz…..
you probably pee about 29 times a day!
81 fl oz
my guess is 127 oz 🙂
156 ounces!?
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 160 oz. Hope I win! 🙂
My guess is going to be 118 oz!
MY guess is 94 oz!
My guess is 83 oz
Two vitamin waters, three DPs, four bottles of water, one margarita, and a partridge in a pear tree (wait, what?).
99 ounces:)
Ok I’ll go with 120 ounces.
I guess….. 166oz! And Cinco de Mayo is the perfect day to do it! (Also my birthday!)
I could pull a Price is Right type move and guess 1oz, but I’ll be more realistic and guess that you’re quite hydrated at 172oz!
132 ounces!
Love your take on the SkinnyGirl Margarita! I’ll take a wild guess and say you drink 142 ounces!
My guess would be 222 ounces…mainly because I love the number 2 🙂
My guess is two beers of any type and 4 girly drinks of any type! Bring on the vodka! Cheers!
with the exception of the i.v. of tequila that i find totally acceptable to be injected since it IS cinco de mayo, my guess would be…. 84 ounces!
I am going to guess 104 ounces!
I would say 116 ounces! 🙂
I’m guessing 208 oz.
I say 98 ounces!!
My guess: 127oz
That’s a lot of liquid, but 27 is favorite number so I had to include it in my guess. 🙂
I’m going with 100 ounces.
I’m going with 1.75 gallons!
I’m going with 180 oz!
Hmmmmm, I’m going to say 1.5 gallons.
172oz of liquid….
Tomorrow’s question: “How many trips to the bathroom did Monica take?” My early guess is 11!
With that question, however, my only fear is what the winner will win! 😛
Cheers!!
My guess is 145 oz!
I say 160 oz.. Four of those ounces will be in tequila shots tonight!
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).
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 🙂
I’m going to guess 155 oz.
My guess is 200 oz. I love me some coconut water! 🙂
(Baileys shot in the morning with your) ice-coffee hehe
Water after coffee
Refill of water x 5
Buy 2 packs of some kind of drink
More coffee
More water
1 Soda
…yeah, too much? ehe
66 oz! Evil!
I’m going to guess 180 ounces. Have fun counting your beverage consumption all day! 🙂
I’d say 94 oz. Yes, there is a method I used to figure this out, lol..
I say 84 oz!
I am going to guess 87 oz.
129.9 ounces
150 oz!
I’m going to say 1 gallon.
I’m going to say 3.2 Liters
126.2 oz. Shoutout to marathon love somewhere 😀
Well, I have a 24 oz water bottle, so I’m going to say 24 * 5 = 120, minus 3 (just because).
So 117 oz. 🙂
Hmmm….let’s say 2.5L plus at least 1 margarita!! The margarita is a must since it’s Cinco de Mayo!!
I’m going to say 3 containers holding 24 oz of water each, 1 diet DP, and a random zero cal vitamin water (or juice)
I would say about 5 liters but since today is Cinco de Mayo I will 6 liters!
3 gallons
135.2 oz. !
I guess 8 drinks!
I’m guessing 127oz. And I love Volver! My in-laws are Mexican and they are always singing it.
I am going to go with 4 water bottle fill ups, and 2 seltzer waters, and 1 Dt. Doctoer Pepper…. and you peed about 50 times 🙂 stock up on that TP when its on sale 🙂
160 oz. 😀
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…
6 water bottles, 2 sodas, 2 extra (vitawaters) and 1 margarita
I would guess…hmmm….133 oz. (so make sure you drink exactly that amount today okay?) 😛
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! 🙂
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.
I’d say 2 galons plus 1-2 margaritas, it is cinco de mayo afterall!
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!
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!
I’m guessing 1.75L – the same size as a handle of tequila. A coincidence? I think not. 😉
im going to say about 12 or 14 cups!
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.
84 is my guess. And that’s all it is. A guess. 🙂
My sisters is the same way! I will guess you drink about 125 oz fluids today.
i say…144 ounces – i added a few more in hopes that you’ll be enjoying a Margarita in honor of the Holiday 🙂
around 120 oz
I think the more interesting question is how much do you pee?
Ha! That will be tomorrow’s question 🙂
ha! i was going to say this too
I guess 112 ounces!
A metric ass ton.
I’m going to guess around 115 ounces.
117 ounces
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
🙂
Disclaimer: I’m not crazy, or a drunk, just bored at work, and it was more interesting to go with margaritas 🙂
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…
I think if both of us were drunk at work they would cancel each other out and would therefore be totally acceptable behavior 🙂
This comment has to win! I’m sorry… it left me in stitches! 😀
Thx Katy! 🙂
My guess is that you drink 96 oz of water today!
I am going to say 88.9 ounces.
3,785.41178 milliliters.
(otherwise known as a gallon. But saying you consumed 3000 of anything is pretty awesome and will impress people.)
128 ounces.
2250mL
I am going to say 80 oz!
I also drink a lot of water every day, and I looove coconut water, it is the best!
Ana
1500ml total would be my guess!
I’m going to say.. 10 bottles/cups of beverages.
