Everywhere you look you will find a different number. Are you drinking too much or too little, is 8 glasses really the magic number? The answer will be different for everyone because there are so many variables involved…where you live, the climate, your weight, how much you perspire, etc. Here is a little trick for estimating how much water you should drink.
Calculating how much water you need
Take your body weight in pounds and divide that number by 2. That is an estimate of how many ounces you should drink each day. So if you weigh 100 pounds, divide that by 2 and you have 50, so you should be drinking at least 50 ounces of water per day. If you are exercising or are going to be out in the heat then you will need to drink more water than you normally would starting a few hours before you are exercising or going out in the heat.
