2.7 liters to 3.7 liters of water per day?? That's got to include the water we get from food, right? Is anyone here seriously drinking 128 ounces of water per day? I'd always heard 64 ounces as a guideline, but that's like half. How could the guidelines vary by that much?
- Spartan-S63 2y agoI typically drink 2.3-3.4 liters of water a day, in addition to the water in food I eat. I imagine that recommendation does take into account water content in food, though.

- standardUser 2y agoFrom the linked article: "This recommendation includes all fluids and water-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables and soups" Most people get 20-30% of their water intake from food. But they never seem to explain this in articles. It's a great example of how health/science journalism has been failing us for generations.

That it is not furthering my chemical dependence on caffeine is a double bonus to maintaining hydration.
