Forget the magic number. Instead, drink when you’re thirsty, stop when you’re not, and maybe aim for that vague “enough to keep your pee a light straw color.” Your body is a brilliant machine—treat it like a luxury car, not a Hoover vacuum.
So next time someone tells you that you absolutely must drink eight glasses a day, just smile, nod, and pour a little water into your coffee. Stay hydrated, stay skeptical, and remember: you’re mostly water, but you’re also mostly awesome.
