How Much Water Should You Drink Per Day?
The body is about 60% water, give or take.
You are constantly losing water from your body, primarily
via urine and sweat. To prevent dehydration, you need to drink adequate amounts

should be drinking every day.

which equals about 2 liters, or half a gallon. This is called the 8×8 rule and
is very easy to remember.
However, some health gurus believe that you need to sip on
water constantly throughout the day, even when you’re not thirsty.
As with most things, this depends on the individual. Many
factors (both internal and external) ultimately affect your need for water.
