Hey guys its me and i just wandered upon a rather informative site about the required amount of water youre supposed to drink everyday. Now i know everyone says 8 glasses everyday but this site kinda gave me more into that, cause i was always like "well doesnt that depend on what size cup you use and etc..." anywho this site (i dont remember it anymore >< sorry) says that if you multiply your weight by .66 and you will obtain how many ounces of water you are supposed to drink each day. Im guessing the reason behind this is because some bodies may not need a huge amount of water a day..that doesnt really make sense to me but anyway..once you obtain that you can divide it by how many ounces your glass is. For example i have a huge blue cup that sits on my desk at work i know that its 32oz (cause i can fill up my nalgene bottle with it and thats 32oz) so i took my weight which is about 290 give or take a few added/lost pounds and multiplied it by .66 getting 191.4 oz. I then divided that number by 32 to see how many cups i would have to drink and got about 5.9 or 6. Now i know that i need to drink 6 blue cups a day! I know it seems kinda complicated but it helped me, it might help you. Chao! and Good luck to all!! -Mandi
