How much water should you drink each day? How much water you should drink depends on several things: the size of your body, how physically active you are, and even the climate – because your body works hard to keep you warm or cool. As a general guideline, the average person should drink between 1.5 and 2.5 litres (about 1.5 – 2.5 quarts) every day to replace the bodily fluids normally lost throughout the day. Our Water Intake Calculator can tell you more about how much water you should drink based on your exercise habits and your current weight. Do not get dehydrated. Dehydration occurs when your body has less water than it needs, and it is a very serious condition. When your body is just 1% below normal, you feel extremely thirsty; when you are 5% below normal, you will have a mild fever, and if you are 10% low on water, you will turn blue and be unable to walk! Water is the best way to keep hydrated. Caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea, and colas actually dehydrate the body, using more water to process than they provide; alcoholic beverages do the same. Drinking purified water is the best way to stay hydrated!
