If you work out, add an extra quart for every hour. That’s like chugging a Nalgene bottle of victory. If you drink alcohol, add double the water you drink in booze.
Why? Because alcohol is a jerk. It steals water from your cells. That’s why hangovers feel like a desert in your skull.
Here’s a pro tip: drink a glass of water between every beer. Your future self will send you a thank-you note.
How Much Water Should You Drink Per Day?
Let’s talk about the “EIGHT GLASSES” myth.
That rule came from a 1945 study that said we need 2.5 liters a day. But the study forgot to mention we get 20% of that from food. Soup, fruit, and even bread have water.
So you don’t have to chug eight glasses. You can eat your way to hydration. A cucumber is 96% water. It’s basically a crunchy water bottle.
If you hate drinking plain water, you’re not weird. Some people just don’t like the taste of nothing. Add lemon, mint, or cucumbers. Make it a spa day in a cup.
