8 glasses is the standard answer, but there is no real proof to this. You can just drink when you are thirsty and be perfectly fine.

It depends on how much you use. It is different for everyone. I mean why would a 100 pound girl and a 250 pound guy need the same "8 glasses" of water each day. It turns out your thirst drive works better than people previously thought. You should drink enough water so that you are not thirsty.

you just can't say 8 glasses for everyone because everyone has a different size body. i heard that the best way to go is to take your body weight, divide it in half, and drink that amount in ounces. for example, if you weigh 100 pounds, you would have to drink 50 ounces a day.

6 eight ounce glasses is the minimum, more is better. If you drink a caffienated beverage such as coke or coffee or tea, you need to drink 2 eight ounce glasses for each glass of caffienated beverage, as caffeine is a diuretic and causes you to actually lose water and dehydrate.

Eight glasses! Not hard to do really! Just keep a glass full while your at your desk answering question. Also bring a water bottle to work/school and make sure you keep it full and drink it. Water is good for your skin and its always good to be hydrated.
