In reply to How much water to drink?, posted by Racer on July 4, 2004, at 14:10:32
Hi Racer,
The rule I learned is to drink half your weight in ounces every day. For example, if a person weighs 140 pounds, they should drink 70 oz of water a day. I find it pretty challenging to drink that much water, but I do try. I don't drink water with meals because I don't want to dilute my digestive juices, so I only drink water in between meals and when I arise. I also don't drink water too close to bedtime because I don't want to be up and down all night. That's my hydration routine.
