But, if you're a coffee snob like me, you might need to add an extra gallon or two for your daily caffeine fix.
Now, let's talk about some extreme scenarios. If you're stuck in the desert with no shelter or air conditioning, you'll probably need a lot more water to stay hydrated. In fact, some experts say you can lose up to 1 gallon of water per hour in extreme heat, which is like drinking a whole bucket of water in one sitting – not that I've tried that or anything.
