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.
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.
