Take into account where you live, as well. High mountain region? More water.
So you're telling me a 200 lb man should drink 132 ounces of water in a day. That's insane. That over 6 20oz water bottles. Guy'd be in the john every ten minutes taking a piss.
Your pee is probably the color of your username.
It is probably a bit high though.
Lols, it's not. I drink one 24 oz bottle of water in the morning then I drink 3/4 cans of soda water. And that's about it. My pee is hardly yellow at all except first thing in the morning.
The answer to this question is super easy: "How much water should you drink?"
"As much as your body wants."
There is no other answer. Your body knows how much water it needs. If you listen to it, it will tell you when it needs a drink of water.
If you are imposing a certain amount of water on your body, regardless of how much it needs, you are a fool who has bought into yet another stupid health fad.
Listen to your body. When it is thirsty, it will let you know, and then you give it a glass of water. Simple, right?
It is simple. Problem is retards will drink anything besides water when they're thirsty. Putting some sort of volume goal on water helps remind people that slamming sodas all day is not the same as drinking water.
If you work as a landscaper in Florida this may be valid advice, if you're also supplementing electrolytes. If you're a desk jockey in a cube farm or similar, drinking that much water puts you at risk of water poisoning. https://www.healthline.com/health/how-much-water-can-kill-you
