I've been doing the 8 8oz cups a day, but on days that I drink less my pee is still almost clear, should I be going more with that or do I aim for 8 or more cups no matter my pee color?

    I just drink as much as I can. Some days it's about 80 ounces or so and others it's a gallon or more. Never hurts to stay hydrated.

    I have a 16 oz cup that i keep filled with water most of the time. I usually drink about 5 or 6 of these a day. Sometimes more.

    Well I have a hard time drinking, so I just didn't know if watching my pee color to see if i was dehydrated was good enough. Of course I try to drink as much as I can, but sometimes I don't.

    Google hydration and you get as many different answers as you'll get here. Each Medical University Research Centre has it's own take. Go by how you feel. My thoughts are if your pee is almost clear you're doing alright. Not an expert. But I do have a degree in Fitness and Nutrition.
