I heard somewhere that you are supposed to divide your weight in half, and that is how many ounces of water you should drink a day. I am a large lady, and that puts me at 125 ounces of water a day!
Is that correct? Can that be too much water?

    That is what I have heard as well. I usually drink MORE oz than I weigh. I weigh 152 and drink about 160oz a day so no it is not too much.

    I was always told for every 10 lbs over what your weight should be is an extra 8oz or glass of water. I however am 542 and I drink 3-4 64oz containers of water a day.
