we have all heard it before, and i'm going to say it again... we should drink water... but how much? i have read that 8 glasses is too much for a day.. some doctors say that 8 glasses could equal to a condition called water toxicity. but how many glasses do you drink each day?

As always, specially at home im always have my water bottle beside me. Water therapy works for me. I also have the ritual of drinking 2glasses of water every morning with my empty stomach after i woke up. it says it will cleanse our body more effectively & so we will seldom be sick this way.

I try to drink at least 2-3 glasses a day, but during winter seasons, the urge to drink water diminishes, so i tend to drink less in the cold winter seasons, but during summer time i think i drink upto 9-10 glasses a day. I've never heard about water toxicity! Must be a new phrase they coined recently.

yeah, most doctors will say that you should take atleast 8 glasses of water a day. but exception to this were the juices, tea, and other liquid that you will intake. when they say 8 glasses of water, they will refer to pure water.
but my question is, how big or small the glass they are referring? i think it is better to say, how many liters of water and not glasses...

yeah... liters.. that's a good way to count the water intake... i actually drink a lot of water and feel dizzy after i take in too much... how much water do you take in each day?

Well water toxicity is a new thing for me, I never hear it before. I use 200 cc glass to measure my drinking. Usually, I take 2 glasses as I wake up in the morning, 1 glass after I do some sport. 4 glasses during the day ( including some water after lunch or supper ), 2 glasses before going to bed. So, it will be 9 - 10 glasses a day for me, and it's really fulfilling my need.
May be it would be vary when the weather changing colder or hotter, but never too far from that standard. One thing is water have good impact to our kidney, as long as not extremely flooding your body.

I take about 7-8 glasses of water everyday.I don't think that is too much.And during rainy,cold days a little less.
