anonymous · Answer

if you're talking about water, then about half a gallon is good daily!

anonymous · Answer

I agree with above, another way you may have heard it as is: eight glasses per day!

There is no set number.  The whole 8 glasses thing was by one guy's dubious research.  The variables include what foods you eat, the humidity of the area, and temperature.

Depends on how big you are!

anonymous · Answer

Divide your body weight in half and that's the amount of water that you should drink per day in ounces.

hmmmm so i would drink 48 oz.

e.mccormick · Answer

All those "you need to drink x amount" of water things have been debunked.  They do not account for hot or cold environments that cause more water loss.  They do not deal with the effects of humidity and lack thereof.  And they do not address work load at all.

A construction worker in the California desert could die of thirst in the summer if they strictly followed that half the body weight in oz thing.
