I’m from the desert. I should know better.
Yesterday, I had about 12 ounces of water total. Everything else was lemonade, sparkling water, a cocktail, or wine. According to the Hydration Calculator at Everyday Health, for the body I have, the recommended daily water intake is at least 167 ounces. That’s a little more than 2 and a half gallons, but that also includes tea and sparkling water intake.
That amount sounds high, but I bet I would probably feel better if I made sure I was drinking enough water.
