Do we need to drink 64oz of water a day?

I get a lot of liquid through coffee, broth and fruits, I also drink water, two full glasses with each milk and a couple when I am thirsty during the day. I do not force myself to drink if I do not feel the need.

I never counted how many glasses of water I drink daily, but I do drink a lot.

I think the amount depends on where you live, people who live in hotter cointries should drink more. When we were young, we were taught to drink at least 6 glasses of water a day but those books were printed in a colder country. The amount should also match diet, people who eat a lot of bad food especially salty and sweet should drink more, heavy drinkers should also drink more water to prevent dehydration.

I drink a good bit of water

I don`t drink enough but that is on my new year " things to get back to" Water helps with weight loss and I need to shed a few pounds.

I was told by my DR. that your body will tell you when you need fluids. I had a lot of problems with retaining water and some of that was over drinking. He said that in the past yes it was suggested 8 glasses a day etc. however everyone's body is different. What is needed by one person isn't right for another :)

I'm not sure on this one but i don't even drink that much water in a day. I have my 2 cups of coffee in the morning, 1 can of soda in the afternoon then the rest of the day i drink water. I probably have like 4 bottles of water a day.

The latest says half the body weight and it should all be water not from other sources I believe but that is a lot of water!! lol

I drink at least 8 glasses of water daily and that doesn't include my coffee. I gave up diet soda ages ago and replaced it with water. Now I crave water if I don' drink it.

I drink about three to four bottles of water per day - about 16.9 ounces each.

I drink plenty of water but I do not count how many

4 litres per day is advisable for a 6ft tall guy. But I drink only 2 litres per day

8 glasses of water is enough for anyone.over drinking also not good...

If I drink enough water, it is very good for the kidneys. Improves health in many aspects.

I see disagreeing opinions on here. I believe it varies with the person. I try to drink enough that I feel comfortable. I have more energy, etc. I obviously will drink more in the summer than winter, and on a windy day rather than a still one. When I worked dietary in a nursing home we counted all beverages, and jello, and soup as drinking "water". You go by urinary output and also by fluid retention. I fill a couple of quart bottles with water and have them sitting in various places to drink from. In the winter I do not chill them. In the summer I want them cold.

We should drink lots of water to get toxin out of our body and to avoid dehydration. It depends on place to place as in hot places people tend to drink more water automatically compared to the place where there is cold.

I drink around 2 or 3 glasses of water a day. 64 oz is too much, I think.

i drink quite a lot but not that much if i did i would be in the bathroom all day

I have not yet counted but I think it closes to ten glass per day..And my physical trainer also told me to drink as much water as I can..

I use to drink 8 glass of water which makes me keep hydrated day long and of course I get water from fruits as well. Is it good enough to drink 8 glass of water?
