Good to know, I’ll stick with my beer then.
Call Rubio.
Even if we do need the eight glasses....who has enough time to spend so much of it in the bathroom ?
You receive moisture from all sorts/forms.
No, stick to the eight glasses a day regimen!
Especially if you enjoy running to the bathroom every 20 minutes. That’s good exercise.
;^)
I normally drink at least 64 oz of water a day. Not that big of a deal.
One person just refused to believe me. She had heard that it must be "pure" water and absolutely eight glasses...no more, no less. About one month after our discussion she came back and admitted I was right. She had checked with an actual nutritionist who told her the truth.
I can’t BELIEVE the EnviroWeenies haven’t jumped on this to try and squash it. How about those people in CA in the middle of a drought? Are they each still drinking 8 glasses of water a day? Egads!
“Water is our Mother! She is a finite quantity! Conserve, conserve, conserve...or we will make you PAY!”
Your body will get used to it, if you give it time. While true that there is little direct scientific evidence, there is much science based evidence of symptoms caused by lack of water.

8 glasses of beer/day would be the absolute minimum!
8 glass of water, no. How about 3 glasses of water and 5 bottles of beer?
Much of the total supply of water the human body NEEDS is supplied by the metabolism of food for energy. Carbon dioxide is NOT the only metabolic product our bodies generate, every exhaled breath also carries 100% relative humidity of water vapor. Oxygen could not be exchanged in your lungs without this highly humid interface.
Small horses have lived for YEARS on the tops of mesas with no liquid water available, as the digestive processes of horses (and many other herbivores) can extract the water even from dead-grass forage, by metabolizing the energy contained in those collections of normally indigestible carbohydrates.
Little secret: you do not lose weight by sweating it off, you lose body mass and fat layers by metabolizing the tissues of your body, and these pass off through your breath. Breathing in oxygen accelerates the weight loss equation.
Eight cups of coffee, yes. Eight glasses of water, no.
Interesting.
Most people probably need more.
I do drink a lot of water.. always have. However, it is for low blood pressure. If I drink a good amount of water during the day, I don’t get light headed or see stars. Two of my kids have the same low BP and drink a lot as well. I will say it is a better solution to us than going on some sort of pharmaceuticals.
Yes, I do know that waiting until thirst is felt means dehydration has already begun.
FWIW I quit drinking all sodas even diet soda, and drink only seltzer for thirst quenching. Seems to work.
What about drinking a glass of water before meals to limit food consumption? Real question.
I drink diet green tea instead of water. It makes it easier to stay hydrated and eliminates the sugar I was getting through soft drinks. Been doing it for years and love it.
