How Much Water Do You Really Need?
The Science Behind Hydration
The widely cited "8 glasses a day" rule has no scientific basis — it's a rough guideline that ignores individual differences. Your actual water needs depend on body weight, activity level, climate, and diet.

|---|---|---|---|
| 50 kg (110 lbs) | 1.7L | 2.2L | 2.7L |
| 65 kg (143 lbs) | 2.2L | 2.7L | 3.3L |
| 80 kg (176 lbs) | 2.7L | 3.3L | 4.0L |
| 95 kg (209 lbs) | 3.2L | 3.8L | 4.6L |
