6-8 oz per glass: Although this is commonly heard, i was never taught this dictum.Normally, i go by my thirst, plus a little more.Of course, i increace fluids when training or when sick, and even more with a fever.

8 cups: One cup of water equals 8 ounces, therefore eight 8 oz glasses will be 64 oz. This represents 1/2 gallon of water daily.
