Depends on your dosha doesn't it? Your body will tell you unless you
have so messed it up it doesn't even know anymore.
Published recommendations are for the masses where they assume people
don't drink enough water, eat too much fatty food and therefore are
overweight due to that (instead of the fact they may well be eating too
many carbs). And also that the majority are hypertense, pre-diabetic, etc.

I agree John, I tend to drink less water on really humid days. From
the article: According to H.H. Mitchell, Journal of Biological
Chemistry 158, the brain and heart are composed of 73% water, and the
lungs are about 83% water. The skin contains 64% water, muscles and
kidneys are 79%, and even the bones are watery: 31%.

Share,
That's a lot of water to drink in one day, especially when it's foggy
in the Sunset District of SF. Bhairitu's idea sounds more reasonable.

drinking a gallon and a half of water a day, during the summer, I did
sleep a lot better. Nice *watery* dreams,(no... not wet) as if I were
swimming and floating in my sleep.

John, rule of thumb is divide your weight by 2 and that's how many
ounces of water you ideally drink per day. I was very motivated to do
this when the temps were in the 90s. But now that temps are dropping,
I'll have to be more conscious of it. Sodas are killers! I'm so glad
you stopped drinking them.

Michelle Obama says so for better health. I believe she's right. A
few weeks ago I got carried away drinking cokes without watching my
weight. I then realized that I ballooned by about ten pounds in a
matter of weeks.
I've been drinking more plain water and cut down my meals for about
two weeks now, and have returned to my regular weight. The one day
fast I did last Saturday helped too.
