For the average adult, aim for that 64 to 88 ounce range. But treat it like a suggestion, not a law. If you’re sweating buckets in a heatwave, drink more. If you’re sitting in air conditioning all day, you probably need less. Your body is a smart cookie; listen to its whispers before it throws a tantrum.
Here’s a pro tip: grab a reusable bottle that you actually like touching (mine has a cartoon cat on it). Fill it up in the morning and keep it on your desk or in your car. Every time you see it, take a sip. Before you know it, you’ll have clocked in your average water intake per day in oz without even making it a chore.
And if you fail one day? So what. Tomorrow’s another chance to pretend you’re a cucumber in a spa.
