yes, the recommended amount is 2 litres a day. Personally, I don't know anybody who drinks this much.

2 litres. You can tell if you are dehydrated by pinching the skin on the back of your hand.It should go back down quickly. If it doesn't, you need to drink more water. Also, for every drink of coffee, tea, alcohol etc that you drink, you should drink an equal quantity of water in addition to the 2 litres. Your health and skin will benefit but the results aren't overnight. Good luck.

I will usually drink about 4 litres of water on a normal day and about 2 pints of milk.
It is recommended to drink 8 glasses of water, but I don't know what quantity is actually defined by a glass.

2-3 litres, but this can now include tea and coffee as they have just changed the intake rules, you must limit the level of caffeine though.
As a point of note the government recommendations on daily portions of fruit/veg is five but this is only because they identified that the actual amount would be unpalatable in terms of public acceptance, the real amount we should eat is 9....

Yes, two litres is right. Water is best, but this can include herbal tea. Once you get used to it, it's not too difficult. About 8 glasses a day, less than one an hour.
