roughly about 2 quarts per day ( 8 glasses of water equals 64oz when comes out to be 2 quarts).

8 glasses of water a day is a myth. It was selected as a number that most could relate to. Notice that there is no mention of the amount a glass is. That saying goes about as far as "An apple a day..." The real test is to make sure that your urine has no color and little aroma.

drink half your body weight in ounces of water per day as a gauge unless of course you are extremely petite or morbily obese. If these cases, your physician should be consulted because too much water can harm your body, as well as, too little water. If you weigh 150 lbs., then drink 75 ounces. If you work out or if you are an athlete, more water may be required. In this case, "at least" 20 - 30 more ounces of water may be necessary.

8-ounces glasses every day, its about 2 quarts. The overweight person needs one additional glass for every 25 pounds of excess weight.

There is no fixed amount that "everyone" should drink.
The whole 8 glasses thing is bogus - this was debunked years ago, but people still keep saying it like it's gospel.
You don't need to drink 8 glasses 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. Drink when you're thirsty. Period!
