Everyone should ensure that they drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. This is about 1.9 liters as recommended by the Institute of medicine among other medic researchers. However, men should roughly take 3 liters about 13 cups while women should take 2.2 liters about 9 cups of total beverages.

2 litres is recommended. Too much can flood your brain though, so, be careful :)

It doesn't have to be water. People should be drinking an adequate amount of fluids/liquids every day. For adult men that would be 13 cups per day and for adult women it's 9 cups a day. Coffee, tea and other drinks count too. The Mayo Clinic has an updated study so use this link for more information: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/water/NU00283

I agree Mona...most ppl seem to follow that 8 glasses a day rule forgeting that the other beverages they consume daily contain water (some are made up of mostly water) therefore, they risk taking in TOO much water...which is not ideal either...thanks for the link :)

I read somewhere that you are supposed to divide your weight in half and drink whatever that is. So I'm 140, I should be drinking at least 70 ounces a day.

Like what sportsguy?!?! Oh, I said I "should be" drinking 70 ounces lol! Anyways I started using a my bowflex yesterday... I thought I was only lifting 80 lbs... But I had a "blonde" moment I guess because it's 80 on each side which is 160 total... Lol... Anyways, today I bumped it up to 90 on each side and I think I'll be using that for the first week or more... Is 190 lbs ok for me considering I'm 140 and 5'4? Is that a good starting weight to be using for upper and lower body on a bowflex?

you are correct; my gym teacher told me that what ever your weight is you should cut that in half and what ever the number is that is how amny ounces you should drink that many and to make it easier divide that by 16 to find how amny glasses you should drink and if you drink about 10 ounces per glass you should drink 7 glasses per day

On average it's 32 oz. Too much water can drown you from the inside. (That is what I've heard)

Apparently, you're meant to drink 2 litres of water a day. But that doesnt quite answer your question because you asked about 'oz'

It always depends on the person, but 8 glasses of water should be good enough for an average person.

I believe because my life is a long string of answered prayer and unexpected miracles. Through His Word, He has revealed the truth about Himself. He wants us to have an intimate friend-relationship with Him. The thing that makes Him happiest is when we love one another the same way He has loved us. He loves us SO MUCH; He did something incomprehensible to make sure we qualify to get into heaven. God our Father in Heaven sent His only begotten Son, Jesus the Christ (Savior) to deal with sin once and for all. Jesus never sinned. He was the Perfect Lamb, spotless and holy. Through His death on the Cross (and the shedding of His blood for us), we who believe this, now have a chance to qualify to get into heaven.

So, invite Him into your heart. The Holy Spirit is our teacher, guide, and most powerful ally and only leads believers. He reveals what is good or bad, including people. He gives us what we ask for so long as it lines up perfectly with His will! BUT, the motive behind it has to be pure; there must be no evil intent like greed, self-preservation, control or manipulation of others, or any evil whatsoever.

We've all suffered. So, ask for understanding.
