It is important to drink little and often to keep hydration topped up every hour! It isn't adviseable to drink it all in one go! It is best to sip water through the day and never drink more than 2 pints in one hour. Do not excede 6 pints in any day. If you are a runner or professional athlete then you may need to trust your judgement and drink more than that but never excede 6 pints, but on average, 4 pints (or 2 litres) of water per day is recommended for the average person.
There is a very well accepted idea that we should drink about eight cups of water per day (two to three litres) in addition to our food and other drinks.here is no evidence that adding the eight cups of water to everything else you drink will do you any good and it could do you harm (American Journal of Physiological-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, November 2002, Drink at least eight glasses of water a day.
