This is the recommended adequate intake daily, about 13 cups! If you partake in regular exercise you should drink an extra 20% to compensate for this, living in hotter climates too.
I find it so difficult to drink that much, certain fruits and other foods contain water but its not enough according to many health experts.
People forget that despite the mild diuretic effects of caffeine, tea and soft drinks all count towards water intake. Doesn't actually mean specifically water - tho i do drink loads of that.
I drink anywhere between 3-5 litres of water a day. But I train in Muay Thai 5 days a week. Took a while to get my body used to intaking that much water but I don't think I've ever had a headache since.
I drink according to the colour of my piss. Anything darker than light yellow and it's ushtey time.
this is the best thing to go by. in the army they are told not to wait to feel thirsty to drink, but to drink as soon as your piss starts turning yellow.
dehydration is the number 1 cause of daytime fatigue, apparently.

This is not true. Because of the diuretic effects of caffine, the water is not absorbed and is counter productive as it flushes out liquid already inside you. Also soft drinks (anything carbonated) are horrendous for you.
No frickin' way. Not everyone needs that much. It's just a conspiracy thought up by Evian.
If you are a midget, then no but it is around that much for people who don't exercise. You won't notice the effects now, but when you are 60 and your organs start to play up, this will be one of the main causes.
I believe it was scientists who came up with the formula as well

The preferred term is dwarf, but no I can't stuff that much water down for love nor money.
With a name like Hydrolab, I can't help but think you may be in on the conspiracy.

No it's completely true. Notice I said mild diuretic. It's utterly negligible and a total load of bollocks that it's counter productive. I agree that soft drinks aren't good for you, but in terms of liquid it still counts.
I don't think I could ever manage that. At present, even making an effort I can only really do between 2 and 4 pint glasses of water over the course of a day... my capacity for food is pretty high but I've never really been able to match it in terms of liquid intake.

Do you drink 3 litres of water a day? - 
just about a can of 7up and diet coke, can't really stand water (Yes, am still scarred mentally from Soggy Biscuit 
)
