How much water should I drink in a day?

It's said that six 8 ounce glasses of water is good on a daily basis. However the amount can differ for different reasons for different people according to their bodies needs. There's special considerations especially for pregnant women, they are to increase their water intake to 24 - 32 ounces depending on weight. Drinking water before you get thirsty is a great idea so that you're not trying to drastically hydrate. In hotter weather always hydrate before going out and keep water with you.

At least target 8 cups of water per day but it depends on your activity during the day. It also depends on the climatic conditions or circumstances like pregnancy.

I think we should do well with 6-8 cups per day and add more when there is heat or if you do much exercise.

I know that they advise you to drink 8 cups of water per day if you are a woman and around 10 cups per day if you are a man.

I know I don't even reach that, and I need to do better at increasing my water intake.

Healthline says women should have 9 cups whereas men should have 13. Dang no wonder I'm dehydrated a lot, I need to drink more water because I'm not getting anywhere near 13! :S I have flavor packets to put into water, I'm really going to push myself to drink more water.
