1.2 litres of fluid every day. This works out to be about six 200ml or eight 150ml glasses.
The total amount of fluid we lose each day and need to replace is in fact greater than this – about 2.5 litres – but we get 1 litre of the fluid we need from food and the body recovers 0.3 litres from chemical reactions in our cells. The rest needs to be taken from drinks.
I thought it said more on 1st glance.
Anyway, I drink more than 8 glasses a day.

...it's very hot here and it's easy to drink that much.

I drink at least 14 - 8 oz glasses of water a day.
