I heard 3 Litres a day!
But witnessed an experiment in water consumption recently.
It consisted of Identical 24 year Old Twins.
No.1 was told to consume 3 litres a day .
No. 2 was told to maintain current lifestyle and drinking habits(Which was no where near 3 litres a day)
After a Month of this regime they were both analyzed (Skin Hydration,Blood,Blood sugar, Metabolism and weight)
The outcome was that the one who maintained a Normal Lifestyle was NO Different than the other who consumed all the water!!
We all metabolize water in different ways and therefore we are Unique in the way Our bodies need and use water.

You should drink enough water or other beneficial fluids to keep from feeling thirsty. When you feel thirsty, you're already dehydrated. But if you keep hydrated to your own body needs, you need not have noticeable thirst. The 8 glasses of water per day may or may not apply to you in particular. Every body is different. If I drink 5, that's enough. More than 7 and I'm visiting the bathroom too often. Depends on your level of activity too.

You are advised to drink around 2 litres a day, but you have to bear in mind that most foods contain some amount of water and this all counts. Ideally your urine should be a slightly pale yellow colour.
Everybody is different though so I say drink when you are thirsty! .

The answers that people have given are rediculous. They are the total amount of water that you should intake in a day. There is an insane amount of water in the food you eat. Remember to subtract that out of the 7-8 cup total necessary.
Most days I only drink when thirsty. Remeber that thirst often seems like hunger. When you think you are hungry, try to drink first.
Hope this helps.

It's said to be 8 - 8 oz. glasses, but I tend to drink 128oz. (2 gallons). Got the clearest skin, and so is my urine.
Waiting until your thirsty, experts say is a sure sign that you are already are or on the way to dehydration *(DON'T DO IT).
Some doctors limit water intake to those that have liver or kidney malfunction. This happened to my grandmother when her kidneys failed.

At least 2 litres. But if you lead an active lifestyle, or practise sports during the day, you can always have more.
Also, take your climate into consideration, its better to hydrate more on a hot day.

We should drink approx. 2to 4 liters or 8to10 glasses of water
every day to keep us fit.
Drinking 2 to 4 lit res of water everyday reduces obesity.
