Here’s your takeaway, friend: start with one glass a day. Work up to two. Max out at about half your total daily water intake. And always, always, always prioritize thirst over a number. Thirst is your body’s way of saying, “Hey, pour something in here, stat!”
If you’re drinking more than 64 ounces total fluids a day (alkaline or not), you’re probably just making more bathroom trips. I’m not shaming you—I’ve been there. But more isn’t better. It’s just wetter.
So enjoy your alkaline water. Sip it like a fancy cocktail. But don’t overthink it. Your body is smarter than any pH test strip. Trust it. And hey, if you’re still confused, just drink a glass of regular water right now. You’re probably a little dehydrated anyway.
Cheers, you perfectly acidic person, you.
