i know they say u should drink 8 glasses of water a day-but what size do they class as a glass?
is it 8 pints a day-god hope not spend a lot of time in loo if it is....
also does it have to be pure water or can it be with orange or black currant etc?

depending on how much u excersise 1.5 - 2 litres (approx 4 pints), if u excersise lots then drink more I drink 3 sometimes 4. if u downed 4 pints in a morning you would just be in the toilet for ages, so space it out over the day. Most things u add to water don't help you and lots can even be a duratic (dehydrating) so don't bother!

I looked into this and the recommended daily intake is what has just been said about 2 ltrs but you dont need to actually drink this amount off water because alot of foods etc you eat during the day contain a fair amount of water, if u drink tea or coffee, theres more water... you dont realise it but alot of people consume alot of water without even drinking pure water....
personally drink about 2 litres now, steadied down after knowing that a gallon of water can be very bad for you and I was drinking a good 4-5 litres per day for a good few weeks

As was said before, don't coffee and tea have a diuretic effect? I have read a few times that a coffee, tea, fizzy drinks, etc. don't really count towards your water intake.
Not sure how true it is though.

you need 2 litres a day (more if you are bigger or exercise) for my body weight i need 3 lt before i start to exercise.
many foods have water in them (fruit is obvious one)
but coffee and tea is not clever. i work on the basis that every 1 cup of tea/coffee/coke/etc is 2 EXTRA cups of water needed.
In other words if you go all day with no water and 3-4 cups of coffee you are running at about -1 lt!

lol.. now I see where your coming from your interpreting my post differently to what I would, notice I said...
"the recommended daily intake is what has just been said about 2 ltrs but you dont need to actually drink this amount off water because alot of foods etc you eat during the day contain a fair amount of water"
then I had a quick on the spot think (which didnt work obviously) and couldnt come up with any foods...lmao so stupidly said drinking coffe and tea.... but I never said I recommend you drink some coffee and tea with your greasy fry up in the morning
Problem resolved anyhow so it doesnt matter
