I hear 8 glasses, but how big is a glass? 1 cup? And is that an old wives tale so to speak?

Well the health people say you should drink atleast 8 glasses of water a day. You and i know that we don if your just counting glasses of water we drink maybe 1-3 glasses a day. However if you count the water in other stuff such as fruit and vegitables we have about 5-9 glasses maybe. The best place to find out is on a health site. It also depends on the persons weight hight and other factors like how much you work out. also how close you are to a fresh produce market or if you drink juice.

you should drink 8 normal size glasses of water a day. However, this does not mean that you need to go to the sink and chug 8 glasses of water. Almost everything you eat or drink has at least some water in it, and that counts! So, it's really not too difficult to get to 8. It is pretty difficult to keep track, so don't bother. Just go for the water instead of the pop, and you should be fine.

Standard measure is 6 - 8 oz. It's not an old wives' tale. A few years back I gave up sodas and a lot of coffee and started drinking 8 - 10 glasses of cold, cold water everyday. It seems your body decides to burn off extra calories heating up the water when it gets to your stomach. Anyway, I got hooked on ice water and three years down the road (along with other efforts) I have lost and kept off almost 60 pounds.

8 8oz glasses a day. They now say that you can take in too much water, so try not to over do it but try to get in at least the 8 8oz glasses. Also, if you are working outside in the heat, water may not re-hydrate you as fast as something like gatoraide.
