I don't know the metric formula, but the standard English formula is your body weight in pounds times .55 equals the number of ounces of water. So a 200 pound male should drink 110 ounces of water a day. I've heard you should drink a bit more when you are on creatine since creatine helps you retain water and you want the water to help pump up those muscle cells.
When your urine comes out clear instead of yellow you are probably drinking enough. When you can't sleep through the night because you have to keep getting up you are probably drinking too much late in the day.

You don't need ANY arbitrary target amount per day. That whole idea has been debunked. IT'S JUST NOT TRUE!
Drink when you're thirsty. Period!
