I always thought I did until one day a couple of years ago when I became severely dehydrated. The doctor asked me how much water I drink a day and I said about 64 ounces as recommended. She assured me that is not necessarily true and that the correct amount of water to drink is half of your body weight in ounces every day, which for me is much more that 64 ounces. She added that if 64 is more than half of your body weight then just drink the 64. Never go less than 64. So now I drink a lot more water than I used to. I never knew this.I definitely don't drink enough water.
I was surprised figure of 64 fluid ounces, so consulted Google and the answer is 1.8 litres.

I wish I could buy thisI do still like the old tipple or three, but having shot my cousin and murdered his mother, i'm a bit more careful these days - especially in this nun's habit.
I am especially partial to a nice Spring Mountain Merlot at this time of year, for some reason it reminds me of home...
