A doctor has provided 1 answer

2.2 liters average: Drink water throughout the day and early evening. Unless you are losing fluids from sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, etc the average woman is advised to drink at least 8 8oz glasses of water per day with somewhat more for the average man. Bear in mind that other fluids also count.
