A lot
About 4 cups of coffee, two or three cups of tea, about a liter of water, about 12 - 16 oz. of fresh juiced veggies and fruit a day, lots and lots of fruit and veggies (they're loaded with water), about 1 - 2 cups of soymilk on my morning cereal, one beer or one shooter of Scotch (neat) most evenings before cooking dinner, and soup at least twice a week.
I urinate a lot and often, especially with my benign enlarged prostate. As a runner I established a habit of drinking a lot (more than the above), and have a real craving for and enjoyment of liquid. I am not diabetic or prediabetic, so it isn't really thirst, its more just habit and a simple pleasure.
Being well hydrated promotes health, but I still have PN, and had life threatening pneumonia last year, so its not a cure-all.
