how much water is a good amount for a average person to drink every day.. i am currently drinking 50.7 oz?


Question:
i am drinking 50.7 oz. or 1.5 liters a day.. is that a good amount.. do i need more or less?

Answers:
I believe you're supposed to drink eight 8 oz. glasses a day, so 8x8+=64.

You're pretty close.

Other Answers:
is use to be 64 oz a day but that has been bumped to around 80- 104 oz

That is acceptable. Most experts will say 64 oz is ideal. understanding from expert, 8 to 10 glass of 500ml water is good.


I only drink when I'm thirsty


Recommended is at least 8 x 8 oz. so 64 oz. I consume that in water plus a few cups of coffee.
Depends on whether you exercise, live in a hot climate, your overall health,etc.
Quick check is to look at your urine. It's supposed to be clear or faintly yellow. "The latest dietary reference intake report by the US National Research Council recommended 2.7 liters of water total (including food sources) for women and 3.7 liters for men."

Looks a bit low.
