cannadoo	Never drink water! You should get the water your body needs from, to count a few: coffee, beer, cola, orange juice etc. Do yourself a favor and never drink water... unless you have to such as if you're in a dessert and there is nothing else to drink other than the oasis water.

gridlockeduk	You are advised to drink around 2 litres a day, but you have to bear in mind that most foods contain some amount of water and this all counts.

HoneySweet Minister	It's said to be 8 - 8 oz. glasses, but I tend to drink 128oz. (2 gallons). Got the clearest skin, and so is my urine.

hisChamp	You should drink enough water or other beneficial fluids to keep from feeling thirsty. When you feel thirsty, you're already dehydrated. But if you keep hydrated to your own body needs, you need not have noticeable thirst. The 8 glasses of water per day may or may not apply to you in particular. Every body is different. If I drink 5, that's enough. More than 7 and I'm visiting the bathroom too often. Depends on your level of activity too. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

paddymac	It depends on what climate you are in and what sort of activity you are doing. Generally though you should aim for around 2 litres/day Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

J. Charles	I heard 3 Litres a day! But witnessed an experiment in water consumption recently. It consisted of Identical 24 year Old Twins. No.1 was told to consume 3 litres a day . No. 2 was told to maintain current lifestyle and drinking habits(Which was no where near 3 litres a day) After a Month of this regime they were both analyzed (Skin Hydration,Blood,Blood sugar, Metabolism and weight) The outcome was that the one who maintained a Normal Lifestyle was NO Different than the other who consumed all the water!! We all metabolize water in different ways and therefore we are Unique in the way Our bodies need and use water. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
