Water water every were, or I can drink 12 glasses a day.

If you need Fluids then drink. Most of us grew up with the eight-glasses-a-day. Rule of thumb. And, most think it's a lot for drinking water.

I never have been able to stick with that. It even bug's me to watch people that aren't sweating or even working out drink from there bottle of water like a baby drinks milk.

The latest recommendation. According to the latest recommendations, we no longer need to worry about counting glasses of water. Hey, I never did anyway. Instead, if you want to go with the latest.

The Institute of Medicine recommends that healthy adults should simply drink when they are thirsty. Now, doesn't that make since. A good general guide is that women need 91 ounces (about 11 cups) per day and men need 125 ounces (about 15 cups) per day TOTAL FLUIDS. Total means all the fluid you get from both foods and beverages.

Okay, I play Tennis now, and as long I'm playing i drink the aqua pure. But, I love a cold beer after playing. Dose that count,too?
