So, how much water should you drink? Enough that you don’t feel parched, but not so much that you slosh when you walk. The world is full of real problems—hydration doesn’t need to be one of them. Drink when you want, eat your water through cucumbers and oranges, and ignore anyone who tells you you’re “not drinking enough” while they clutch a plastic bottle like a security blanket.
Now go forth and sip, guzzle, or nibble your way to hydration. Your body knows the deal; stop second-guessing it. And if you still need a number? About six to eight cups a day from all sources is a good, safe guess. But please, for the love of all that is holy, don’t buy a gallon jug with motivational slogans. You’re better than that.
