I noticed a lead article on Yahoo.com today ‘Water Facts: Bottled or Tap?”
The article looks at the often asked question of how much water you should drink and whether it should be bottled or tap water. The article was quite basic but the comments from readers were interesting. Some supported the author’s views and some didn’t.
As this seems to be a subject of interest for many people I thought that I would add my two cents worth. But first, I should mention that about seven years ago I researched this subject very extensively and these are my conclusions:
How much water should you drink?
There is no ‘right’ amount although some ‘experts’ have some pretty fixed opinions. To state a quantity is to ignore the obvious which is different people in different circumstances will require different daily intakes of water. Obviously a 200lb male laborer working in the hot sun is going to need a lot more water than a 105lb female office worker in an air-conditioned building.
