How much water are you drinking per day?
Most people think they drink enough water by drinking 6 to 8 "glasses" a day. The glasses are usually tiny. It's best to have your water in a container where you know how much you're drinking. If you use 8 oz bottles or glasses, it's easy to lose count and end up drinking 5 8 oz portions instead of 8. It's better to drink out of water bottles that hold 24 to 32 ounces. At a minimum, you should be drinking 64 oz a day.
