Question about the 8 cups of water thing.

brittanyjeanxo

When they say 8 "cups", do they literally mean an 8 oz. cup, or 8 glasses of water? I've been drinking 80-100 oz. of water and I find it plenty for me, but should I be drinking more?

I believe they mean 8, 8z glasses...so a total of 64oz a day.

I try to drink double that...but I'm just a freak.

It means eight 8oz glasses, so 64oz total. If you are getting 80-100oz then that is plenty.

It is my understanding that the water guideline is 64oz, 8-8oz servings.
