Water a Day

[Doctor Fate]

Okay, so Health Canada says one should drink approximately "8 glasses of water per day".

Here's my question. Exactly how big are these "glasses" they speak of? Do they mean tiny little shot glasses, or do they mean those tall, massive dinner glasses?

How much water is one supposed to drink per day, in imperial cups OR metric milliliters (since I am not really familiar with any other units of measurement)??

1 glass=168 ml
Like that 8 glasses per day.

Didn't health experts say 8 glasses is not necessary ?

Personally I only drink bottled water (Because in city water I can taste the bleach and chlorine) Wellwater is good i miss wellwater never was my skin so clear as it was when i showered in well water >.< Anyways...I drink 5-6 bottles of water A DAY whenever its around otherwise I drink maybe a glass or two of tap. Humans don't need to bloat themselves full of water but an appropriate enough amount to sustain our bodies needs. If your athletic you probably need more but I don't know to many mixed sources for me to actually be right

I drink alot of water if you include all the cups of tea I drink, but hardly ever just water on its own. And did you know that you can die from drinking too much water?

I just drink when I'm thirsty, no more and no less.. I think my body knows better than anyone else!

1) the 8 glasses thing can be included with water in food or other drinks (milk, juice, less so much soda just cus it's not healthy)

2) 1 glass = 8fl oz (1 cup)

Yep Im the same. When thirst, drink, when not, I don't drink. :) I'd loss count of the glasses lol.

I had never measured how much of water I consumed in a day. I believe that drink when you get thristy. The required amount differs from person to person. Drink when you feel thristy not all such foolish think like 8 glass or what ever.

I don't drink 8 glasses of water in any measure each day.
