How Much Water Should You Drink?
Not everyone needs to drink the same amount of water everyday.
- Calculate your daily water intake: Take your weight in pounds and divide in half; this is how many ounces of water you need to drink.
- Soda, coffee and other drinks can count towards your daily water intake — but aim for at least 1/2 of your daily fluid to be water.
- Drink 10 additional ounces of water for every 30 minutes of exercise.
