    A good guide to tell if the body’s finely tuned fluid balance is to check the colour of your urine. If it's very dark, you're on the dry side; if it's very light or translucent, then you need to drink a bit less water, said Dr. David Price, head of family medicine at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont.

    What about those that are color blind?:tongue:

    I don’t have a scientific answer, but water is good for the body. Not sure the exact amount a person needs. I drink about 6-8 cups most days, most days that’s the only pure liquid I have. Just started since LSC, before I would go days without drinking “just water”.

    As long as your doctor says your sodium levels are normal, you can drink whatever you want, however much you want.
