Healthy amount of water

Win_1

Is there a certain amount of water you should be drinking everyday or should you just drink as much as you want?

You want to drink enough so your pee is generally light yellow. Not the most graceful indicator, but the easiest one to go by :drinker:

But, but, but.....
I've got a 1970's bathroom and the toilet is harvest gold, I can't tell what shade of yellow my pee is. Aaah if only it was the delightful blue shade so I could have green pees.

Most people can just drink to their thirst level- don't forget there is liquid in food too.

I generally have 1.5-2 litres of water and 2 cups of coffee, others need more; others less.

The colour is the best indicator.

Cheers, h.
(Sorry for the silly post- the toilet is h-gold, so I always have a smile at the colour comparison advice)

I find making an effort to get 1.5l during my work day gets me there.
I also have some coffee or tea, maybe a diet coke with lunch, and probably a couple of glasses of water at home in the evening, so I come in more like 2.5l or more.

But yes, pee colour.

You, crazy lady, deserve an updated bathroom! I remember all that harvest gold and brownish olive green and orange. I blame the 80's neon trend on that 70's interior design aesthetic
