Counting juice, coffee, tea, wine and soft drinks, I'd say about 4 to 6. Kobber, your doctor's ideas are out of date if he thinks you need to drink that much water. That was recently debunked. Also, did you know that the water in food also counts toward your daily allowance? That means you are actually ingesting significantly more fluids than whatever you are drinking from a glass or cup. The new rule of thumb is that if you drink enough to keep from being thirsty, you are adequately hydrated.
^^^ Very true. Sipping on fluids all day long and carrying a bottle everywhere, fearing to die of dehydration is a national obsession. I never saw this in any other countries.
Drinking eight glasses of water a day has never actually been shown to do a thing for your health. If your urine is pale yellow or clear in color you are drinking enough. Google

Websites (not counting those you might use for work) do you visit on a daily basis? I visit certain sites and from those look in on links so it varies. Also lots of clicking with work I do from home.
Movie theatres are there in your area (within about a 30-minute drive)? Don't know. I stopped going to movie theatres several years ago.

The bottled water I have is 16oz per bottle. A "glass" is 8oz (I think) and I drink at least six of those 16oz bottles per day so 12 glasses!

Thank you Kobber for the Q's and a good day to you all
Do you have a vacation planned for this summer? A vacation, to me, means not working & not necessarily going away. Today is the kids' last day of school, or actually half a day. They leave at 12:30 & we have a lunch to thank our paras. Then organizing and cleaning rooms for the rest of today and tomorrow. The only "away" time planned for the summer is a week at a nearby lake with my daughters and their families. I choose this lake because my grandfather and dad built a camp on it in the early 1950s. Pop's heart broke when grampa sold it. Also, it's close enough so that those family members who still need to work can easily travel back and forth.

Loads of laundry do you wash in an average week? Less than 10. There's just the two of us.
Eggs do you eat in an average week? As actual eggs, maybe 4? I have reasonably good chlesterol levels, so I don't pay too much attention to how many. But I know there are eggs in other things I eat.
Websites (not counting those you might use for work) do you visit on a daily basis? Three or less. I thought, when school was out, I'd have more free time, but now I'm playing catch-up on things that need to be done around the house.
Movie theatres are there in your area (within about a 30-minute drive)? At least 4.
Bonus question:
My doctor wants me to drink 8-10 glasses of water a day (to help prevent more kidney stones). I would normally only drink 4-6 glasses. How much water do you usually drink per day? Not a whole lot. I've never been a water drinker.
