In 90+-degree heat, with no air conditioning, a gallon per person per day isn't unreasonable.

I drink more than that.

But in those conditions you could very well go through more than that. Remember no air conditioning and alot of folks are out in the sun and there is basically no transportation exertion makes you drink much more. Dehydration is a real concern!

Easily... though often it is constituted with fermented grains and hops.

When I'm outdoors in 95-degree heat with 100 percent humidity, easily.

At home in the A/C, it's usually more like 2 quarts. On the trail or at altitude or just working outside, it'll go to 5 or 6 quarts. I've done 8 before. Add to both of those figures what I need for cooking, washing hands, etc, and a gallon is the figure you want to use.
