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.
You may have heard that you should aim to drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water per day. How much you should actually drink is more individualized than you might think. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) currently recommends that men should drink at least 104 ounces of water per day, which is 13 cups. They say women should drink at least 72 ounces, which is 9 cups. Even still, the answer to exactly how much water you should drink isnât so simple.
