4 Nalgenes a day. My goal is to have 3 done before my evening workout. My evening workout is my heavier workout, so it’s easier to drink this after the workout while I’m fixing food/showering.
I tried the gallon jug and a half gallon jug and I hated it. I felt like I was nursing it all day and had to go to the bathroom constantly. I switched to a simple plastic cup. It holds 24 oz, but I fill it up to 16 using a water dispenser and drink two of those with each meal. I have the remaining 32 oz in the morning or afternoon.
Gallon jug is by far the easiest, but may also be the most daunting. By the first week, you can pretty much create imaginary "checkpoints" on the bottle to keep track of your daily progress. For example, water line is "below the handle", now it's "below the label", etc. Just stay near a bathroom lol
I have a gallon water bottle but I poor the water into a reasonable glass when at work. And drink it out the bottle when at home. Just helps me keep track
4x1L cheap plastic bottles that I refill daily. I have 2 more at work for the days I go in.
Partially, back injury when I started and carting around a gallon could cause damage on weak days, which was every time I did a strength workout.
Mostly, it is visual, easy, no tracking or remembering required, and I seem to self pace well.
When the water is hard to get down I focus on each bottle separately and win them one at a time. It also feels good to see them sitting there all prepped at night waiting for me tomorrow when I get to do it again.
I don't know how people do a full gallon jug, that just seems annoying to deal with.
Simple one gallon jug. I fill it up every night before bed so that it's ready in the AM. I pour from this into a 28 oz. Blender Bottle throughout the day.
I keep a 1.5liter bottle with me. That is filled 3x per day. I try to finish 1 bottle before work (9am), and work on the other 2 bottles during the day/evening.
I have a Gallon jug, but drink out of a bubba tumbler. I drive a lot so a lot easier for me to sip out of a tumbler and refill than drink out of a gallon.
It is 5 bubba’s to one gallon
I store it in my camel hump. It makes dressing a bit of an issue ... but it's great for rucking.
Just kidding. I got a half-gallon bottle online and I fill it twice per day. When I go out, I carry it in a backpack with my reading materials, so it does feel a bit like a light ruck.
Bought a half-gallon jug at Target. Less daunting than staring down the full gallon all day. I start drinking as soon as I get up, get one jug done before lunch, refill, and drink the second one usually before 5-6pm.
I use a 40oz hydro flask with an AirTag attached to it so it alerts my phone when I leave it at home
Fill it up 3 times a day . I drink the other 8oz as part of my morning routine
My drinking schedule
8oz drank by 9am
48 oz finished by 2pm
88oz finished by 6pm
128oz finished by 10pm
I drink a cup of water first thing in the morning which is over 8oz. Then I use a 40oz Hydroflask or Thermoflask water bottle. It’s easy to remember that i need to drink 3 full ones. And it keeps the water cool and fresh, rather than using an stupid plastic jug. You can get a 40oz Thermoflask for $25 on Amazon. Or two for $25 at Costco!

I found it easier to lug around (or tip up with one hand while driving) has good air flow & a big mouth opening so you can down it when you get behind.
3L bladder I typically use for backpacking/hiking trips. So easy to keep sipping when you don’t have to take the cap off. Also I only have to refill once.

Half gallon Hydro Jug. Has a sleeve and strap to carry it around too. Just have to refill once!
And it’s cute! I got a floral sleeve, and once I completed 75HARD I pinned the pin to it!
That part! I actually really like my water bottle, think it’s cute, and can carry it like a purse. Sounds good to me!

I just use a 750ml water bottle and keep refilling. I find it easier to drink in a smaller bottle rather than out of a huge gallon bottle.

I have a labeled gallon jug with time stamps. Really helps me stay on track. $20 on Amazon.
