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!”
8 glass of water, no. How about 3 glasses of water and 5 bottles of beer?
Eight cups of coffee, yes. Eight glasses of water, no.
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.
I’ve always been suspicious of that “eight glasses a day” thing. I’m 5’1” and 100 pounds. Should I drink the same amount of water as some strapping, six-foot person? It makes no sense.
I’ve been drinking more water to help prevent a reoccurrence of kidney stones. It helps to keep the kidneys flushed. I also find it helps my brain function better if I am not dehydrated.
One doctor?a pediatrician? And what med school did he attend that studied nutrition. Made know nothing about nutrition and prevention. The whole broken system is based on people being sick
They spend a lot of time and attention on debunking traditional medicine
I hire doctors only who will work with me.
If there’s an infection I stop them at antibiotics and ask how to cure it. If they know and that’s a lot of the time, I try that first and find out also when to quit trying and get on antibiotics. Permanent damage is stupid.
If they don’t know how to cure something why am I paying them? If they’re there just to sell mess and do the pharmaceutical company, why would I ask them about nutrition?
Must be drought related.
When I go overseas, the ONLY THING that I drink is beer, as it’s always cheaper than soda and usually cheaper than bottled water (except for large containers).
It works fine.
Without getting too much into the debate on how much we need, I will share something that will benefit people with asthma and sinus issues.
Drinking extra water *does* hydrate dry mucus membranes. If you are running a dry heat (like forced air electric), you will notice an improvement in your sinuses by drinking a little extra water. And dry membranes are more likely to pick up airborne viruses. Which is also why it is better not to keep your house too warm in the winter.
If you have a cold or flu, drinking extra water moistens your chest and makes it easier to move up mucus.
So, while there may be no need in general, there are circumstances where the extra water can be quite helpful.
