I know that it's recommended to drink 2lt water a day. I'm drinking around 3-4lt. Is the recommended amount on top of all other liquids. I only drink water nothing else so I was wondering if the 3-4lts a day is sufficient????

    You can drink too much water. Fruits and vegetables have water too. I go by my pee color.

    Water, of course, is best, but any liquid you drink counts towards the 2 liter total. More liquid is needed depending upon your physical activity level, the environment you live in (hot, humid climates), illness or if you are breastfeeding.

    If you rarely feel thirsty throughout the day and your urine is very pale yellow or colorless then you are most likely getting enough liquids.
