Do You Really Need 8 Glasses Of Water Per Day?
Do You Really Need 8 Glasses Of Water Per Day?
We have all been bombarded with orders to drink more water every day or we could become dehydrated and if we don’t, oh no please help us, something terrible is going to happen, like we’re going to shrivel up and die. picked by catalyst 1 year ago

No such site exists - I'll take back my downvote if the link is fixed

Edit: works now, maybe the site was dead

Snopes has an article on the 8 glasses myth too.

8 glasses a day is way too much for me. I'll feel sick if I were to drink 8 glasses.

I didn't used to, but new medications make me THIRSTY! I drink bottled for the taste, and because flouride is bad for me. Cold is best of course, but we average 95 degrees in May!

One nurse I know told me of a plan that says drink 1/2 of your weight in ounces EACH day! So the 8 glasses thing works for me if they more than 12 oz glasses! I drink about 4 or 5 of the small bottles.

We've stopped drinking soda and gatorade every day, and drink mainly water and sometimes fruit juice at home, and soda when we go out. Hubby has lost 35 pounds since Feb!

I also found drinking water would relieve the niacin flush when I had to take that evil pill!
