I once had this really badass movie theater soda cup that must have held 80ozs, seriously. It had a huge handle and barely fit in my refrigerator, but it's gone, now, too. I need to find some huge cups for keeping in the house.
Also, I usually make my iced tea 2 gallons at a time. Normally, it lasts around a day, day and a half if I drink other things, too. Right now I am making instant iced tea in a 2QT pitcher, but that's going to stop as soon as I buy a new 2 gallon water jug.

Its german.. a girl I dated in college bought it for me. No idea where I'd find another if it got broke.
2 gallons a day isn't too bad. The military & us athletic org's produce standardized hydration guidelines. The body can only absorb 40oz or so in an hour.. they recommend 1 quart/hour during exercise in heat.. never more than 1 1/2 quarts an hour, and never more than 12 quarts in a 24 hour period.
The upper limits are there because if you exceed them, the fluid intake can dilute your plasma sodium levels and you end up with salt cravings and even hyponatremia.. somtimes known as "water intoxication" Its rare, but a few people die from it every year.. mostly after athletic events.
