I drink when I find myself going "I'd like something to drink." I have heard that waiting until you're thirsty means you've waited too late and are already running too low on water, but I don't know if that's true.
I drink... oh... five to six glasses of water a day, plus some tea and the water I get from my food. I find that paying too much attention to any one detail of health and fitness is an easy way to get totally sidetracked from the main goal of having overall fitness- so I just do what feels right for me
