It DOESN'T MATTER!!
You don't need to drink 8 glasses (2 litres) of water a day. You certainly don't need 1/2 your body weight (in oz.) per day. You don't need ANY arbitrary target amount per day. Just drink when you're thirsty. Period!
8 GLASSES A DAY DEBUNKED:

This is a ridiculous number to give. So much depends on temperature, activity with perspiring and intake of other fluids such as soft drinks or sport drinks. The size of the person is also important. Eight glasses a day they used to say and I found that ridiculous. You would need a lot of salt with that.

2-3 litres a day.

About 2 litres. In hot, humid climates, or if you excercise a lot, you drink about 3.

dear litre,
The answer would be two. Nutritionists recommend we drink eight to ten eight glasses of water daily. a litre is 33.6 ounces, simple math.

around 8 glasses of fluid each day - don't forget that some food contains fluids and these are counted in the 8 glasses.

a good rule of thumb is to drink half your weight in ounces. so if you weigh 200 lbs then drink 100oz a day

As I remember, the formula is (your weight in KG)/16*2
Also, dont drink too much as this will decrease your mineral equilibrium, namely, sodium.
Someone actually died from drinking too much and urinating all of his sodium
