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. The truth is, this is an estimate and the actual amount you should be drinking per day can vary quite significantly. There are multiple factors that can impact how much water you should be drinking. Weight
The amount of water a person should drink varies on their weight, which makes sense because the more someone weighs the more water they need to drink. A two hundred pound man and 100 pound woman require different amounts of water every day. Multiply by 2/3: Next you want to multiple your weight by 2/3 (or 67%) to determine how much water to drink daily. For example, if you weighed 175 pounds you would multiple that by 2/3 and learn you should be drinking about 117 ounces of water every day.
