How much water should we drink every day?
Answers:
64 ounces or 8 eight ounce glasses
6 to 8 glasses a day
For an average adult - 64 ounces - 100 ounces daily.
6 to 8 eight ounce glasses a day or 48 to 64 total ounces of water.
Here is an easy formula you can use for life:
Take your body weight and divide that number in half.
That new number is the number of ounces of water you should drink on a daily basis.
For instance, my weight at 180 = nearly three quarts of water per day. (180 /2 = 90oz <> 98oz.= 3 quarts
I concur with Clarkie. That's what I learned too, body weight divided in 1/2 and that's the water we should drink every day.
six to eight glasses
"...He concluded that someone misinformed has been telling people to drink large amounts of water when most do not need to."
"[healthy adults in a temperate climate ] can just drink enough to slake thirst ― and this includes coffee, tea, and even beer ― despite their diuretic effects."
Did you ever notice that a lot of mainstream medical advice seems to change after a few years? Oops that is a question, not an answer. :)
Cheers!
6-8 glasses a day
For an average built adult it is 6-8 glasses a day ,easy enough to remember,without going into calculations,which of course will be more specific.The quantity will depend a lot on the weather,hot dry weather will cause a lot of loss of body fluid by perspiration ,consequently excessive thirst & more intake of water,nature's way of adjusting water in-take.
At least a half gallon
I wouldnt drink too much. I heard this woman drowned cause she drunk too much water.
Doctors recommend 8 glasses a day
