1 Multiply by 2/3: Next you want to multiple your weight by 2/3 (or 67%) to determine how much water to drink daily. 2  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.
Another method you can use to determine how much water you should drink each day is by dividing your weight in pounds by two, according to the Public Broadcasting System. The resulting number is the amount of water in ounces you should drink each day. If you weigh 150 pounds, you should consume at least 75 ounces of water per day. This is a little over nine cups of water daily.
