The human body requires a fresh supply of water every day. Not only is water one of the most abundant nutrients available, but it's also the most important. Water helps regulate and maintain your body temperature, transports nutrients and oxygen, removes waste products, and moistens your mouth, eyes, nose, hair, skin, joints, and digestive tract. Limiting your water intake can result in dehydration, elevated body temperature, fatigue, decreased performance, and increased risk of heat-related illness. Consume at least ten 8-ounce glasses of water per day.

Most books will say about 8 cups a day to keep your skin , hair, nails and digestion in good shape but if you work out a lot and are losing weight then you should have at least 12 cups a day. :)

I drink in about 4 - 5 days a 5 gallon bottle of water in less then a week.
See how much you can hold and increase it gradually it will take you quite awhile before you can drink a gallon a day.
ENJOY!!!!!

8 glasses...64 oz a day. You can get water jugs at walmart that have the oz on there so its an easy way to keep track of how much you are drinking....

8 eight ounce glasses (or 2 quarts) is enough, unless you're involved in strenuous physical activity. Then you'd need more.
