Question:

How many oz. of water are you supposed to drink a day?


Answers:
Most doctors will tell you that you should drink at least eight 8oz glasses of water a day for good hydration. So that is about 64 ounces total.

80 oz, 8 10 oz glasses.

64 oz. minimum 80 oz. recommended

32 oz

8

The Institute of Medicine advises that men consume roughly 3.0 liters (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day and women consume 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day.

Studies have produced varying recommendations over the years, but in truth, your water needs depend on many factors, including your health, how active you are and where you live.
Though no single formula fits everyone, knowing more about your body's need for fluids will help you estimate how much water to drink each day.

8 glasses of 8 oz., equals 64

6 - 8, 12oz. glasses per day.

You are suppose to drink 8 glasses of water a day 8oz glasses..So 64oz...Seems like all you would do is pee all day!!

64 but I drink one galon. I think that is 128oz. Water is just good for you so drink lots.

64-80oz.

or eight to ten - 8 ounce glasses

64 oz. 8- 8 oz glasses or water.. it is definitely not bad if you drink more than that though

You should drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. As a rule of thumb, you should drink a half ounce of water for every pound of body weight, unless you're very active, in which case you should increase your water intake to two-thirds an ounce per pound of body weight daily.

Thus, if you weigh 120 lbs., you need to take 60 oz. of water, or a little less than 2 quarts or 8 glasses of water. If you are 210 lbs, you need to take 105 oz of water, or about 7 quarts or 13 glasses of water.

8 oz = 1 regular glass of water
32 oz = one quart (4 glasses of water)
128 oz = one gallon (16 glasses of water)

64

it is recommended that you drink 8-12 (8 oz.) glasses of water/day.

It depends on your size, amount of exercise you do, what you eat, drink.

Check out the link here from the Mayo Clinic with really good info...

64 oz is the recommended amount but no more than 80 oz.

A doctor once told me the best way to get the right amount for your individual self is to divide your weight in hald and that is how much you should be drinking aday.

The thing is 8 glasses at least.

on most wesites I found they "recommend" 72 ounces.

Drink an ounce for every pound you weigh. For example if you weigh 110 pounds you should drink 110 ounces.

I was told by my Dr. that a person should take their weight and divide it by 2. The number you get is the total oz of water you should drink a day.

According to my Dr., I am supposed to drink 8 glasses (8 ounces each) of WATER per day. This does NOT include the coffee, tea, soda etc. that I also drink. These 8 glasses are to be consumed DURING the day from the time I get up to the time I go to sleep so; I drink 2 glasses in the morning, 1 on my break, 2 at lunch, 1 on my break, and 2 at dinner. It keeps my Dr. happy and gives my body the amount of water it needs to be healthy.

8 Glasses

we are suppose to drink 8oz. of water everyday.
