Science says one should drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day. I drink around 10..:)
How many glasses of water do you take each day?

Ahh.. too bad. Sometimes I don't reach 8 glasses. I don't exercise much, I don't sweat much, I don't feel thirsty much. Would the minimum of 8 glasses still applicable to me?

I have never counted how many glasses of water itake each day?
But i am sure that will be far more than 8.Posted 3 months ago # -
8 glasses of water is something like a magical number. You can drink more or less. But it is recommended that you drink at least one or two glasses of water more than what you would drink when you are thirsty

Marko, drinking 8 glasses of water a day has become an accepted wisdom. But DMS physician Heinz Valtin, MD says its not necessary. He even pointed out some disadvantages of high water intake:
1. possible exposure to pollutants, especially if sustained over many years;
2. frequent urination, which can be both inconvenient and embarrassing;
3. expense, for those who satisfy the 8 x 8(for eight, eight-ounce glasses) requirements with bottled water;
4. feelings of guilt for not achieving 8 x 8.Posted 3 months ago # -
Thanks andrei. That's a piece of information. So how much water should I take in?

Andrei, the high water intake you mentioned must be very high. Too much of anything is bad, just the same with drinking water. Drinking around 8 would I think be fine.
