That's why you stop being stupid and stop buying bottled water.

Except you don't need that much water, some need more than others but not that much overall. I recommend just two glasses of water a day. I only use bottled water for on the go, which is generally for when I have a bowling lesson, which hasn't occurred for a while due to my internship taking effect. Also isn't bad for power outages because my fridge has a built-in dispensor for water but obviously won't work if the power is out.

2 BOTTLES A DAY? Dude seriously, your meant to wee every 4 hours. And i hardly think 2 glasses a day is enough to replenish that each 4 hours. Its not a myth, 8 averge glasses is what you need. And just stop buying bottled water if you dont want to pay, simple as.

You're right, there should be NO recommendation because everyone will have different water needs. If you work outside when it's hot, you'll need more than someone whom works inside where it's cool. Likewise, you'll need more water if you have more salty foods than not. You think two bottles is too little? If each one contains 2 8oz glasses of water, then you'd need to have four to maintain it. Even when not bottled water, it's still a ridiculous number to drink. How many do you know that actually follow this recommendation? You should only take water when you're thirsty but this recommendation makes that practically impossible. If it's not a myth, why isn't it mentioned on water bottles? If you're meant to wee every four hours, why does it even matter how much you drink when you're just going to get rid of it four hours later?

i do try to follow this recomendation and yes it is quite hard. But again i also follow the daily exersize recommendation everyday, these 2 tie in with eachother. And i dont know how much your bottled water contains its all different, what im taking about is an average sized glass.

And why drink alot to wee? Your body like to filter its self of all the stuff it doesnt need. SO you do need to drink sometimes just to wee it out. without that your body will find it difficult to do that as often as it needs to. The colour of your wee often indicates if your having enough water. It should be really REALLY light yellow, if your getting enough.
