Your body is designed to automatically adjust the amount of water inside you - your level of hydration. When the amount needs topping up we will feel thirsty. A radical idea I know!
A great deal of the fashionable demand for always drinking water is mis-informed nonsense.
We need about 1.3 litres/ just less than three pints each day in a temperate climate to replace that lost in sweat, urine and when we exhale.
Our food could supply at least a quarter of this and together with teas, juices, etc. we might not need drink any extra.
You'll know if you've drunk too much because you will be urinating more frequently!

While 8-12 glasses of water is great for the average sedentary person, many of us are fitness conscious or on the pursuit of some type of bodybuilding physique. With that in mind, I think the new standard for us should be 1-2 gallons of water a day.

The general idea is 64 ounces. 8, 8 ounce glasses a day. But you get a lot of your water from the food you eat, so if you don't drink that much, don't stress. But water is better as a drink than soda or juice because it has less sugar.

It is advisable that you drink an average of 2 litres of fluid a day. However water in particular should be about 8 glasses (or so they say). It all depends on the weather, if its very hot you will lose more fluids through sweat and evaporation so your body will naturally demand for more.

this really depends on your weight . there is some sort of indicator avlb where when u type in your weight it gives u the desired number of litres you should be drinking in a day . but ideally it's around 10 glasses a day . and that's just water alone , yeah .

8 250 ml glasses a day (thats 2 litres)
if your having trouble getting enough then you can purchase a water cooler (like the big ones in offices) that holds exactly the correct amount- get them from argos for about a tenner

Your meant to drink about 8 glasses of water. But if you just drink lots of water.. as much as you can.. that's fine too.

Doctors recommend you drink 2 liters a day, this is around 8 glasses depending on your glass. There is no maxium, drinking more will cause no ill effect as your body dispersers that which it does not need.

Minimum of 2 litres, if you can manage 3 or more than great.

The post about their being a lot of water in food.....

If you find yourself hungry, try having a large glass of water first, as sometimes you will think your hungry when your actually dehydrated (excellent tip for losing weight!)
