    For us Gringos that haven't embraced the metric system yet,,that's about 6-8 glasses, typically, 8 ounces of water, and still a lot. I told the nurse, I just can't drink that much water, and then don't forget, you have to pee most of that out, and if you're older, like me, with reduced flow, it can be a problem. THEN, you have to worry about water quality, and bottled water, that comes from the tap anyway, gets mighty pricey. I do have a 20 oz. refillable water bottle I refill maybe once a day,, and use a PUR water tap filter, and works well, but I think the water consumption thing is overstated.:rolleyes:

    I drink over a gallon a day. I can hold it for a long time. Yeah I know that's not good but meh for now. I know I'll pay for it later.

    I'm way into water now. Seriously, I should have listened to people a long time ago. I'm also way into electrolytes because of advice from people right here.
