The same: Usual recommendation for water intake is eight 8 ounce glasses a day. Your weight has no bearing on this recommendation.

Right!: Two quarts per day (half gallon) recommended. However, this does not account for increased need with insensible loss (low humidity) or strenuous activity. Your need can then triple!
