So, I guess I'm dehydrated??? How much water do you drink daily?

I slept in today and then went to the gym around 3. On the way there I drank about 20 oz. of a sports drink and then began drinking a 1.5 liter water bottle.
It was "legs day" and I did about an hour of brisk walking scattered between my weight sets. During my roughly 2 hour workout I finished the 1.5 liter water and began my drive home.
On the way home I drank a 32 oz. and since being home from approximately 7 to 3 (I have insomnia) I have drank three large glasses of water. I'll estimate each at approximately 10 ounces of water each.
So, since 3 this afternoon I have drank approximately 132 oz. of fluids and hit the b-room once (and it wasn't all that impressive). I finally feel like I am ready to hit the b-room again, with a better outcome this time!
The only thing I can figure is that I must have been dehydrated big time when I got up this morning to go to the gym. The strange thing though is that I didn't really feel like it and I usually know by symptom when I am. Oh well, I must have needed all that fluid.
So, survey part:
1) How much liquid do you drink a day? How much water do you drink a day (I count things like Gatorade and Powerade as they are mostly water)?
2) Do you know when you are dehydrated? If so, how? Do you get headaches, feel tired, etc.? What are your signs that let you know?
3) Do you know how much water a day you should drink?
4) Screw water give me alcohol?
5) Do you think I was dehydrated?
Add any questions you like.

A quart an hour, a quart and a half if doing work. *NM*

Isn't that incredibly excessive?

What I grew up hearing was 8 cups per day. Which is 1/2 gallon. Meaning he's doing... 8 times that. *NM*

Maybe he meant a liter. I could see that, especially considering he's military.

A liter is more than a quart by a hair, and his value is fine, depending on circumstances

Oh yeah.
I was thinking of a quart as a half gallon. Never mind me.
