So, how much should the average person drink? The answer is: enough. Enough that you’re not thirsty, your pee is light, and your skin doesn’t look like a crumpled paper bag. For most people, that’s around 8 to 12 cups a day, including food and other drinks. But honestly? It’s not a science exam. You’ll be fine if you miss a glass.
Here’s my final, very scientific advice: Drink when you’re bored—it’s a healthy snack. Drink when you wake up, because your body did an 8-hour fast. Drink if your urine looks like concentrated coffee. Otherwise? Relax. You’re not a cactus, but you’re also not a fish. Just keep a bottle nearby, take a sip, and carry on with your glorious, hydrated day.
Cheers—with water, obviously. Or coffee. I won’t judge.
