how much water is a person suppose to drink in one day?

8 glasses under normal strain. So if you live in death valley and your moving stones from one pile to another it will be much much more than 8 glasses a day. When I was in the army they taught us the real test if your hydrated, your pee is clear and if its amber then you are becoming dehydrated, kinda gross but it works. Also as you drink large amounts of water you have to replace the electrolytes that it washes away. That means balanced diets, that include proper amounts of salt.

2 Litres, which includes all the liguid you drink in 24 hours,  such as water, tea, coffee etc. Any more can be bad for you as you then start to lose electrolytes from the body. So the old '2 litres' of water per day is wrong, unless you only drink water.

Yes, water is very good for your health..It gives you healthy skin, hair, and all around healthy body...\n\nYou should drink 8 glasses of water a day..So if you are drinking 5 bottles of 9 oz. water..you will be okay..\n\nAnd like the person above said..there is such a thing as drinking too much water, but you would have to drink way more than five bottles of it to get water intoxication..Unless you have some other illnesses such as liver disease, but I'm guessing you don't cause then you would know when you should resrict water...\n\nBut the answer to YOUR question is YES that is healthy for you\n\nHope that helps..

Although the ideal water requirement may vary depending on the requirements of a person (this is due to variations in the environment that one is in, which affects the amount of loss of water from the body, as also the level of physical activity/sweating etc.) around 8 glasses is about good enough. \n\nThe least amount of water required by the kidneys to effectively excrete the waste products in the form of urine is about 500ml/day. That is ofcourse the very least amount that is a must.\n\nAlso, the amount of water that the kidneys can excrete is indeed limited and, thus, there is indeed such a thing as excess water... consumption of excess water can be harmful by decreasing the concentration of important electrolytes in your body, especially sodium (causing hyponatremia, which have sevre adverse effects including seizures and even coma). Excess consumption of water is often seen in Psychogenic Polydipsia.\n\nHowever, to cause this reduction in sodium concentration, one would have to consume water in excess of about 12L/day (theoretically though, the figure would be around >30L/day)

There is NO SET AMOUNT that you "should" drink in a day.\nYou'll hear a lot of bullsh!t about "8 glasses" or "half your weight in oz.", but there's NO science backing any of that.  It's all just folklore and urban myth.\n\nDrink when you're thirsty.  Period.

Most people urinate about 4-6 times a day, so that's pretty normal.\n\nAs always, do be sure to drink plenty of water (not soda) - you should be gettting 8-10 glasses every day. The color of your pee is a good indication if you should be getting more water. If it is dark yellow, you are mildly dehydrated and should be drinking more.

You want to drink at least two litres a day and as much as a gallon.  Some suggest drinking as much as you can.  I find that about 2 and a half - 3 litres a day is what is comfortable for me.  As for how often, I would say divide the ammount that you drink daily into 8-18oz servings spread throughout the day whenever you can.  I generally drink the mixture 4 - 6 times a day.  I spread them somewhat evenly throughout the day but find it helpful to listen to my bodies cravings.  If I feel hungry or am craving food, thats when I mix the cleanser up and it generally takes that craving away.\n\nGood luck!

Eat more fiber - real raw vegetables and fruit, and increase your water consumption to at least 8 glasses of water a day (a gallon of water a day is best).

I believe it's one gallon a day for each person.Half for drinking, half for hygiene.

Drink ALOT of water probably around a gallon a day if your active in the weather, also drink it at room tempeture, in hot weather if you chug cold water the tempeture differance can be to much and it can make you get sick, like puking sick, Think of how much your sweating, you need to replace that by twice as much, to replace what your sweating and by still giving your body the water it needs on a daily basis with out sweating in the equation, If you dont like to drink water, your just going to have to get used to it, if your outside alot in the summer with high humidity and you dont drink water you have a good chance of getting heat stroke and thats NOT fun at all!!!

I've heard 8 glasses a day, but snopes.com says that's an urban legend.\n\nIn general, to remain healthy we need to take in enough water to replace the amount we lose daily through excretion, perspiration, and other bodily functions, but that amount can vary widely from person to person, based upon a variety of factors such as age, physical condition, activity level, and climate. The "8-10 glasses of water per day" is a rule of thumb, not an absolute minimum, and not of all of our water intake need come in the form of drinking water.
