Cinco de Mayo and the Battle of Puebla, Mexico. Cinco de Mayo, literally âMay the 5th,â is the holiday celebrating the Mexican victory over the French army on May the 5th, 1862, at Puebla, east of Mexico City. The city of Puebla holds a big annual celebration on the anniversary of the battle. But in most of Mexico, Cinco de Mayo is not really an important holiday. Itâs mostly a bank holiday and a day off from school. But this year itâs on a Saturday so my students donât even get a break for it!
You are probably all aware of the âcardinal ruleâ that says adults should drink six to eight 8-ounce glasses of water per day.

Experts say that you should drink at least eight glasses of water every day; a glass of water is about 8 ounces US or about .236 milliliters. That estimate assumes that your environment is normally cool, you are about 150 pounds or about 68 kilograms, and exercise in some form, about 20 minutes a day. Recent studies have revealed that there is no set requirement of water per day. You should drink when you are thirsty.
