how much water should one drink per day?

Question

I've heard that it's really good drink lots of water, but it's not good drinking too much. So, what's the right amount?

Answer 1

8 glasses, which would be about 2 liters. i've heard that drinking too much water will not be too good for your bladder, but not sure though. hope this helps!

Answer 2

divide your weight in two, the answer is the total amount of ounces you need to drink in a day. Divide that amt. by 8 to know how many glasses per day. if you weigh 140 pounds you should drink 70 ounces of water a day, 70 divided by 8 equals 8.75, so you should drink nine 8 ounce glasses per day.

Answer 3

For a bench mark, I believe that the average person should drink 8 glasses of water a day. In addition, for every cup of coffee you drink - add 2 more glasses of water, for every alcoholic beverage you drink - add 1 more glass of water. Caffene and alcohol dehydrate the body.

Answer 4

You can't ever drink enough water but the "right" amount is I heard 8-8oz glasses a day

Answer 5

On the average, a person should drink 8-ounces glasses every day, its about 2 quarts. However, the overweight person needs one additional glass for every 25 pounds of excess weight.

Answer 6

The most important thing is that you shoul drink water every day.
