instead of soda's.

I drink water daily, and I try to drink as much as possible. For me isn't a problem, I like water anyways. I'd rather have water than soda. I usually end up drinking about 5-6 glasses of water, but in addition, I usually have a sports drink or two a day, because throughout the day your body not only loses water, but minerals as well, and sports drink alleviate that.

I've heard that acne can be caused by too much yeast in the body. So, flushing it out with water and eating less refined foods (sugar, white bread, white rice) and other foods with sugar. You may want to look that up and decide if you want to take that out of your diet temporarily.

It is probably healthy for you, I don't know I drink probably 8 glasses of soda pop a day, probably not so healthy for me.

I found it's easy to drink your daily regimen or of water if you develop a discipline for drinking it and stick with it. As a child I didn't drink a lot of water. But when I got older and got sick I just started drinking more to keep me healthy. I just started out with a few glasses a day and got used to it, drinking more and more to the point where I didn't even notice my intake and was enjoying the water. I was told that actually since we are mostly water anyway drinking half your body weight in ounces is even better. You will definitely feel better with more water in your system believe me.

Drinking 8 glasses of water is hard during the cooler months, when you dont feel thirsty that much. Any way, I try to drink water whenever I remember.

I agree, it can be hard. So, I started to carry a water bottle with me wherever I go. My current water bottle carries 20 ounces. I try to drink at least 8 oz per hour.

 Too much at a time isn't good because you'll just end up in the bathroom because kidneys don't know what to do with the excess. So, I try to spread it out throughout the day.

in hopes to clear this new acne problem I've been having the last couple of months.

I was just thinking that if it's a new problem, have you started using any new products on your face? I once bought a moisturizer that had sunscreen in it, and my whole face broke out something awful. Switched back to a moisturizer without sunscreen, my face cleared right up (but when I put regular sunscreen on my face for a day out in the sun, my face is fine. Kinda weird.) Plus I change products depending on the weather, specifically how humid or dry it is.

As for drinking water, did you realize that since the recommendation is 8 8-oz glasses but the average size of a water bottle you get out of a vending machine is 16.9 oz? So you actually only need to drink 4 bottles (doesn't seem as much when you look at it that way). Plus, some experts point out that you get water in your food. Worried about getting dehydrated on a hot day but don't want water? Try eating some watermelon, it's 80% water. A little bit of salt intake will also make you more thirsty and make you want to drink more - that's why bars give out free salty snacks like peanuts or pretzels. Offering salted water to horses (just a teaspoon in a full gallon) is a trick used to make horses who compete in strenuous sports drink more water. When offered fresh water about 20 minutes after drinking salted water, they've been shown to drink more water than if offered plain water alone. The thirst mechanism in humans works the same way.

8 is just the average.  Some people need more, and some can go with less.

I have always try to be aware of how much water I drink. If I don't, I just don't feel right.

It is good to keep an adequate amount of water in your system, but I'm one of those people that hates to drink water.

If you dont like water that much you can also put a lemon in it and let it sit for a couple minutes.
