    I decided it was ridiculous to drink 8 glasses a day if I was forcing myself

    I drink 24 oz of water when I first get up, then drink 12 oz on the hour every hour until my 1 gallon jug and my other 24 oz jug is gone. or until 6:00, which ever comes first depending on when I get up. :)

    24oz = 680ml

    Nope....I meant it the way I wrote it. Our vocal folds would turn into giant blisters if they didn't have something to cool them down. Mucous is the facilitator for that moisture. When you have plenty of water in your body, the mucous will be thinner, and not cause you to sound "gloppy" or even breathy because the folds can't come all the way together.

    I like to stay hydrated but I don't have any rules. Between the juice, milk, non-alcoholic beer and weak coffee that I drink, I don't need to drink that much water in addition.

    Most days I probably drink more than 8-10 glasses of water, but other than 2 cups of coffee a day, that's all I drink.
